    The Bills would be crazy to pass up on Orakpo, but like I said, if they do, our chances at him increase dramatically.

    Could Orakpo fall to the Texans? Dream scenario.

    Lots of talent still on the board:

    Rak
    Crab
    Maclin
    Oher

    Our chances are getting better. The 49ers could take him, but it's hard to see them passing up Crabtree.

    It's hard to see the Bills pass on Orakpo, but they need a guy like Oher, too. He would be a great fit.

    Random comment seen on the Internets on Oakland picking Hayward-Bey over Crabtree:

    "Who? Oh Al Davis, please never die."

    I think they're gonna hold out hope that he's around at 28, which could very well happen. If not, I would trade up into the early 20's and take him if I were them.

    They need a pass-rusher, and offensive line help, too. So, I see them taking Oher at 11. Pettigrew(if available) at 28, and a guy like Michael Johnson in the second.

    I think we have to take Jenkins or Orakpo if they're available.

    I wish we wouldn't take one of the USB 'backers, but that's probably what'll happen...

    Looks like the 9ers are picking up Crabtree.

    Buffalo's choice is interesting here....

    Do you go with a pass-rusher that you desperately need, or do you try and rebuild your offensive line to protect your young quarterback?

    OR, do you reach a little (in my opinion) for a good tight end that you need to complete your skill players on offense....

    Pick Oher Buffalo! If that happens we might be able to simply steal Orakpo

    I think it'll be Oher or Pettigrew.

    The draft is too deep in Ends for them to take one at this point.
