thewildrabbit Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 NFL Network asked Charles Davis and Cory Chavous what they think the Bills did in this draft, Davis gave the Bills a C+ and Chavous gave them an A. Davis thought Spiller was a great pick but that Troup was a 3-4th rd pick, tho he said he absolutely loves Ed Wang and Levi Brown. Cory stated the Bills got the most explosive player in this years draft with Spiller He also stated he loved the Levi Brown pick. Mentioned he really likes Batten and Moats and Easley. Said good job Buffalo! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Mayock, NFL Network A couple of quick thoughts on some seventh round picks as we get started early in this round. Buffalo finally got a QB in Levi Brown from Troy. I believe he's been undervalued all along. He was invited to the Combine, but only as a throwing QB, not a participant. I liked him on tape, and feel like he has a chance to be a very solid backup QB. http://chat.nfl.com/front/index/883 Mike Mayock, NFL Network 192 -- Bills -- DE Danny Batten The Bills' makeover to a 3-4 defense continues with this pick. In the second round they took Troupe, in the third round they took five-technique Carrington, and then with the last two picks they've gone to small school conversion outside linebackers. Batten from SDSU is an undersized, quick, try-hard edge rusher whose motor never stops. I've never seen more college DEs who are candidates for 3-4 conversions in one draft in my life.
ax4782 Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 I guess that huge media concensus some on the board was saying to watch is coming down in favor of this draft. I guess, as usual, those uneducated among us shot their mouths off too quickly. The media is praising Buffalo for making smart picks to make over their 3-4 defensive scheme. Gee, I guess maybe Buddy and Co. do know what they're doing.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 We are going to have to be patient. this could be the draft that turns the corner in Buffalo, and gets the Bills back to being a competitve team. With more quality drafts like this we as fans might finally have something to cheer about in January...and one day Feb! Go bills!
Heitz Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 No grades here, but a good recap. http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2010/4/24/...l-draft-buffalo Interesting that it says Gailey has been intrigued with Brown for a while... I like what we did this year, some projects, but we're building toward an end goal for once!
Astrobot Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 I had to submit a grade of the draft to DraftTek. I gave them a "B", but everyone knows that the real grade for a draft is "INCOMPLETE"! Saw a few of these in high school....
Buckeye Eric Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Grading a draft before any of the players have played one game is like reviewing a movie before filming even begins.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Grading a draft before any of the players have played one game is like reviewing a movie before filming even begins. True, But as a fan you got to like the fact that the Bills addressed the lines finally thru the draft. They did not draft a single DB. Think that was coincidence?
thewildrabbit Posted April 24, 2010 Author Posted April 24, 2010 Grading a draft before any of the players have played one game is like reviewing a movie before filming even begins.Every site you log into for NFL football will soon have grades for all the teams, just some insight from two NFL scouts / analysts about what the Bills did in the draft. According to some analysts the Bills two greatest needs were QB and OT and the addressed them very late in the draft. Hearing from those two (Cory Chavous & Charles Davis) gave me hope the Bills really did well this draft.
