2013 BRB Mock Draft: With The Eighth Overall Pick, The Buffalo Bills Select...

You know how, in real life, after every draft pick, the team talks about how they got exactly who they were targeting, that the draftee was the top player on their board, that they expect big things from him, and/or how excited they are that ________ _________ is now a member of the organization? It's almost always a lovefest between team and draftee. At the very least, the negativity stays behind closed doors or festers for a year or two.

What you never see immediately after a pick is made is a team saying, "Yeah, we took him. We're not really pleased with the pick. Would have really liked to go in another direction, to tell you the truth, but what are you gonna do? Maybe it'll work out. Probably not, but whatever. Pass the Kamchatka, would you, sport? Daddy needs to freshen up his cocktail." If you ever hear something like that come out of a general manager's mouth, rejoice, because you can say that you knew BricAM before he hit the big time. I now give you Buffalo's pick, via Bric; I really, really, REALLY hope we get to here him conduct a post-draft press conference someday.

The Buffalo Bills, despite having just signed Kevin Kolb, have no real option at starting QB (although this still gives them the third best QB in their division).

While Kolb may be an option for this season, they need someone to be the franchise QB they've longed for since Jim Kelly.

Will Geno Smith (QB--West Virginia) be that guy?

Honestly? Probably not. But they need to make the best of a bad situation and create some competition for the job and maybe bring out the best of either man.

I actually had to e-mail Bric after I read that to confirm that he was actually picking Geno Smith. I mean, I thought that's what he meant, but he seemed so unenthusiastic that I wanted to double-check. He responded in the affirmative, so Geno Smith is now off the board. BRB's own Mbw987 is now on the clock for the New York Jets.
