[3wt]

1 (21)(BILLS)- Will Hernandez, G UTEP
2 (46)- Billy Price, C OSU
3 (77)- Jessie Bates, S Wake Forest
3 (100) (Zeitler comp)- Geron Christian, OT L'Ville
4 (112)- Nathan Shepherd, DT
5 (151)- Holton Hill, CB Texas
5(158)(BILLS)- Josey Jewell, LB Iowa
5 (170) (Whitworth comp)- Andre Levrone, WR Virginia
In round 7 I think they will add some depth:
Developmental DE/CB
Developmental TE/QB
Short yardage RB

I love a lot of your picks.  But I doubt Price will be there at 46.   I also think Shepherd is on the rise after the Senior Bowl and would not make it past the third round.   I would also be thrilled if Jewell was there in the 5th, but I doubt he makes it that far.

You never can tell.  We've had a lot of good talent fall to the 4th and 5th over the years.
