    Could be wrong but looks like Buffalo never picked and no one chose for them. So do they just lose that pick now?

    I don't think he was picked yet. To my eyes he's middling at best. I don't see burst, or change of direction ability. Hands are OK, but not really good. To me he's a guy who brings 6'6" to the table, and really nothing else about his game is pro caliber. Street is a really good football player. Just my opinion from watching them both.

    Tough pick here.

    On the OL, I think the option is Michael Schofield. Definitely would be a solid RT.

    At WR, I think it comes down to Brandon Coleman vs Jared Abbrederis. I think Abbrederis is the better receiver, but Coleman has a much higher ceiling.

    Could even go back to CB here with either Nevin Lawson or Russ Cockrell.

    In the end, I will put vote down on Brandon Coleman. Terrible QB play drove his production numbers down. I think he will be a much better pro.

    WR, Brandon Coleman, Rutgers

    I'm just going to offer some value picks right now, in case anyone wants help with ideas.

    Wesley Johnson, T/G/C, Vanderbilt
    Charles Sims, RB, WVU
    Zack Mettenberger, QB, LSU
    Jared Abbrederis, WR, Wisconsin

    Voting for Jared Abbrederis, WR for Wisconsin.

    This guy is very good and not getting a lot of coverage some of the other guys are. I didn't see anyone else taking him, apologies if he is off the board.

    He is an excellent route runner, gains separation easily because he is quick out of his breaks. He ran 4.50, not elite speed but fast enough and picks up a lot of yardage after the catch. Hes a football player through and through, Hines Ward type and very smart, spends a lot of time watching film, one of those guys. Biggest knock against him is his size, he's listed as 6'1 but only 195lbs, could bulk up a little, I can see him struggling with press coverage. Would be a great pick here.

    I usually see Abbrederis Mid-4 to early-5. I see Coleman Late 4 to mid-5. Does that make Abbrederis a better value? not sure. But route runners with hands we have. I've seen Coleman listed as one of the most under-valued draft prospects, mostly because of the quarterback play. I tossed him out for the third round, and I sure as heck want him in the 4th.

    Brandon Coleman, WR, Rutgers

    Abbrederis, WR, WI.

    Everyone knew he was their only recieving option and with a terrible QB still put up good production. Without question, will be a great worker and team player.

    It looks like it's starting to come down to Coleman or Abberderis. I'm not sure what people see missing in Street's game, but so be it. To register a vote that counts, I will change my vote to Coleman. I think Abberderis can make a roster, but I don't see a future starter there, and I don't see a guy who will impact in a way that's better or different from the guys that we already have. At least Coleman presents an immediate red zone mismatch, and we have struggled mightily in the red zone for quite some time now.

    Since there's no way Wesley Johnson is getting any majority vote, I vote Jared Abbrederis, WR, Wisconsin.

    Can't change your vote, unless I misunderstood the rules, to prevent this very thing.

    Haha, you crack me up cause this vote goes against your boy but you didn't put TTF on blast cause he voted with you. Anyway, I still think you are correct in not being able to change votes but seeing as how each side received one vote it doesn't make much of a difference.

    That being said, I vote for Ben Coleman

    I would like to change my pick to:

    Ben Coleman, University of origami

    We've never drafted a guy like this, and i think he can really add something new.
