tonyjustbcuz Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 After many years of Tom Modrak being in the organiztion and playing a vital role in our NFL Draft. I just fail to understand why he is still in the Bills organization. The Bills have had several blunders in the draft and in my opinion it continues. Last year taking Aaron Maybin over Bryan Orakapo DE was obviously not a swift move and it was easy to realize from the onset that choosing a undersized Maybin was a bad selection when Orakapo was the consensus best DE in the draft by a good margin. Modrak has been a key to why the Bills pick who they do and this year choosing a RB over a OLT or QB was highly questionable in many fans and experts alike opinions. These are just two of many examples of his poor contributions to our drafts. Greg Williams wanted us to draft a QB that was available when the Bills made their first round selection when he was the head coach here. That QB is playing for New Orleans Saints now and is wearing a Super Bowl ring already!!!!!!!!!! Modrak didn't agree with Greg Williams and we all grew to despise Williams as a head coach. Looks like we despised the wrong guy! I am trying to remember when they took Mike Williams as OLT and if Tom Modrak was here at that time? I believe he was, and what a great (not) pick that turned out to be with the 4th overall selection in the draft. My vote is yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Put it up on a banner for all to see!! Tom Modrak must go!!! Then maybe we'd draft a franchise QB for once instead of resorting to a 7th round pick to select a QB. I hope this topic is a little different than what's been up and running lately as it's sure boring being a Bills fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2010 Bills prediction 5-11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Modrak was only a scout until last season. In the '09 draft he was partially responsible for Wood, Byrd, Levitre, and Nelson. That draft was one of the best that we've had in recent years for our team. Everyone stays hung up on the Maybin pick, I too was hoping for Orakpo, but look at the overall body of work from that draft. The jury is still out on how good these players will be, but they have the potential to be part of the turn around in our franchise. I still have hope for Maybin as we have switched to the 3-4, a defense that better suits his abilities. If the players, the young players we have, are nothing in two years go ahead and re-post this. Until then, don't let the hit you on the way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meark Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Would you please point out a team that has had a perfect draft with the top 3 picks all making the team as solid contributors and are currently still on team for the past say 5 years??

Albany,n.y.

Good luck! Nobody is perfect.. Even the most highly regarded players can turn into busts.. Due to the fact that the earliest you can meet your criteria is the 2005 draft, I'll go back a little further & although 2 of the 3 are now gone, 9 years later, I've got a pretty good 1st three rounders for a team in an earlier draft. I'm sure there are others, but I chose one that produced 3 for 3 Pro Bowlers: 2001 Carolina Panthers. 1) Dan Morgan 7 years with Carolina 2) Kris Jenkins 7 years with Carolina still in the league with the Jets 3) Steve Smith in his 10th season with Carolina.

A scapegoat? He's been running our drafts since 2002 and has been promoted for his efforts. How does this qualify as a scapegoat? How in the world are fans content that this guy is still in charge of our college scouting operation? The number of misses has been mind-boggling.

I agree and do us a favor and STFU Does Tom Modrak have a bunch of family members posting on TSW today? How could people be coming out to defend his body of work? Modrak has been RUNNING THE DRAFT since 2002 and the roster SUCKS. Was Jauron a horrible coach? Have the free agent acquisitions Modrak had nothing to do with been terrible? Yes and Yes. But that doesn't excuse his body of work. I will say that I completely excuse him for the Mike Williams and Aaron Maybin picks. But Kelsay over Osi Umenyiora? Roscoe Parrish over Vincent Jackson? Trading up for Poz instead of staying back and taking David Harris? Trading up for McCargo? Trading up for Losman? THESE MOVES WERE ALL MADE BECAUSE OF THE PLAYER EVALUATION GRADES OF TOM MODRAK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kota Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Sorry but Modrak just heads up the scouting department. he is responsible for grading the players. He doesn't have the final say on who gets picked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snorom Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Then maybe we'd draft a franchise QB for once instead of resorting to a 7th round pick to select a QB. I hope this topic is a little different than what's been up and running lately as it's sure boring being a Bills fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There where no franchise QB's in this draft after Bradford.... and if you thought there was any well then you just exposed your lack of football intelligence. Brown was a good pick up as well.... and I would rather suffer through a 5-11 season in 2010 for a chance at a real franchise arm in 2011 where there are many better QB's to choose from. Plus Modrak now bows down to Nix who obvioulsy made the final decisions in this draft... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
