Mock Take 3

Check out our lastest mock draft and tell us what you think. There are a few changes since the last one, like Michigan OT Jake Long going No. 1 to Miami. The Dolphins are negotiating with Long's agent trying to work out a deal before the draft. Long fills their biggest need, so look for a deal to get done in the next couple of weeks.

Give us your thoughts on our Buffalo Bills pick -- Tennessee State CB Dominique Rogers-Cromartie. You might be surprised I didn't give the Bills a wide receiver. Don't be. Word is the Bills don't have a receiver rated high enough to warrant the 11th overall selection. I sense that the Bills might try to trade for a veteran wideout before the draft.

Are the Bills talking to the Eagles about Lito Sheppard? I heard they could pick him up for flip-flopping 1st round picks. Seems like a
no-brainer if it's true.

I think this is good news.It's not like the bills are going to change history of 1st round receivers.My wish would be if we can get harvey with our 1st i think we should jump on it or look for somebody that we can trade down with pick up extra picks take a chance with a receiver and then pick up jordy nelson one of the 2 receivers will work out if not both that's my take on it

What WR are do they want? Roy Williams? I'd like a move like that. I like Rodgers-Cromartie at 11. I also think that yes, a good pass rush is key to a good pass defense. You can have the best corner in the world but if the QB has more than five seconds to throw the ball he's going to get beat. Improving the pass rush should be an issue...not an eleventh overall pick issue but an issue none the less. I think the Bills like Mitchell as a edge rusher and play from the DEs with improve with the new DTs.

I dont like DRC at 11, I love his upside but its a bigger risk than taking a WR. Taking an athletic, pass rushing DE like Harvey would improve the CB play by not letting Tom Brady have 15 seconds to throw the ball. Schobel, Denney and Kelsay are either getting too old or are just not good enough. Adding Harvey to those three would keep them fresh.
