BBV Community Mock Draft 2011: With The Third Pick, Buffalo Selects ...

Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU.

Playing the role of general manager for Buffalo is 'Bligbluethruandthru.' Here is his rationale for picking Peterson for the Bills:

I know some Bills fans would be disappointed in not getting Newton or Gabbert, but frankly, I don't see either of them as being can't miss picks this early. The Bills have had some atrocious drafting mistakes in the last decade such as taking Aaron Maybin over Clay Matthews, and Donte Whitner over Haloti Ngata, and they absolutely cannot whiff with a top five pick. Peterson is the most sure fire player in this whole draft. He has the size of a safety (6-foot, 219 pounds) with elite speed (4.34). Taking a lock down corner is a safe and effective way of shoring up a terrible defense. He's also a proven weapon as a kick returner as well. Christmas is coming early to America's Grayest City.

The only other choice I thought about was Marcel Dareus, because the Bills need run stopping support like Charlie Sheen needs detox. But if you're asking me to choose between maybe the next Warren Sapp or maybe the next Deion Sanders, I'm taking Neon Deion all the way. I just threw up a little in my mouth.

My take: I would jump for joy if I was a Bills fan and this pick fell into my lap at No. 3. There is a growing consensus that Peterson is the most certain superstar in this draft. He is the No. 1 guy on the big boards of ESPN's Mel Kiper and CBS Sports. Peterson is No. 3 on the National Football Post big board.

I know the Bills could use a franchise quarterback, but who is really sure that Blaine Gabbert is that guy? In Peterson you have the one guy in this draft who could be a Nnamdi Asomugha/Darrelle Revis type, plus return punts. Pretty tough to pass that up.
