Rayzer32 Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 As long as we keep this up and with our remaining schedule, we have a legit shot at 3-1. This meaning our #1 to Dallas is going to get lower and lower instead of the top 5 pick it looked like they might get earlier in the year. Parcells must have had a woody for the first half of the season, and now flacidity must be setting in. This also means our 1st pick in the 2nd is getting lower, but that would be a good spot to take a kicker like Nugent.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 I'm sure he expected Dallas' original pick to be in the 20's and the Bills' to be in the top-5. Looks like it will be the other way around. Good, and I hope Jones turns out to be a bust (sorry Golden Domers).
Mark VI Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 I've got news. It's pissing off a lot of posters here who blathered on about it for weeks. I think the Bills winning is screwing up their B!tching agenda.

jarthur31 Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 I remember reading the Dallas journalists laughing at TD when the deal was made and for weeks after. Who's laffing now you bastards!!! :I starred in Brokeback Mountain:
Albany,n.y. Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Bills finish 10 - 6, Dallas gets 24th pick, tops 147147[/snapback] We'll actually be picking higher because the NFC teams with worse records that make the playoffs will be drafting behind us. Realistically, even if we go 10-6 the odds of the playoffs are low because all our loses are in the AFC. If we don't make the playoffs, the lowest we can pick is 20. Right now we're 18-19th.

CosmicBills Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Bills finish 10 - 6, Dallas gets 24th pick, tops 147147[/snapback] Someone refresh my memory, what number pick did Dallas trade to the Bills last year? Wasn't it 21? If so, having them pick 24 this year would be sweet

duey Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 Seem's like we're making a habit of pissing Tuna off. Along with slowly screwing up his draft plans for 2005, don't forget this little nugget. I heard Mike Francesca on WFAN in NY say last year that Tuna was counting on picking Willis in the 2nd round. Apparently, Tuna blew a gasket when we snagged him...something along the lines of "WTF are the Bills doing?!?!? They have Henry. WTF are they doing picking Willis?!?!"

Fake-Fat Sunny Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 From what TD has said and I agree with him the draft (particularly 1st round choices) are ovverated. A significant number of 1st rounders (50% by TD estimates) are disappointments or flat out busts (like past 2nd pick Ryan Leaf. Even worse these players due to slotting still abdorb signficant cap room. The draft is not a bad deal as players have to ccme from somewhere and along with the Leaf's there are the Mannings who is the best skilled QB in the game today (but even that being said Manning finally moved ahead of Leaf last year in terms of the amount of playoff wins he delivered to the team which drafted him. He looks good for Indy right now if NE co-operates but his cap hjit probably ends their ability to win it all next year if he fails this year). All that being said, I can easily see how TD had the balls to trade a future 1st ronder for Bledsoe whose play certainly sucked last year, but did coincide with a huge improvement in Ws his first year and was a big part of exciting customers (for bad reasons it turned out) when Bledsoe came to town. He knew that trading such a he did with Price could get the resource back, which he promptly used to draft WM whom he was able to sign to a sweetheart contingency deal. This year saw him once again trade a future first like the penny-candy they are for Losman and this is looking like a good move because Losman clearly needs work before he is ready to play and the QB draft pool this year is pretty thin. I doubt Parcells is too POed draft wise because he planned this year to have an early 1st rounder and a late 1st rounder. Though it appears he will be completely wrong in terms of which team will provide which pick, this is what he will have as the Bills have a weak schedule in front of them and Dallas has sucked worst than he planned or pundits thought.
