DisplacedBillsFan Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 So we know the Bills have said they will have their top 3 players picked out so that they will be guranteed to get one of them when their pick comes. No matter which player they pick I know the quote that will follow ... "We were really happy to see (insert name) still there when we were on the clock. He was actually the player we had ranked first on our board, so we're really excited."
Noma Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 what about the second round pick when they say, we had him in our top ten to fifteen and were surprised when he was still around. we think he had first round talent and it was a shock he was still on the board when it was our pick again.
Pete Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 "we know Mel Kiper didn't have him going until the 3rd round, but he was our guy- so we drafted him"
Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 "we know Mel Kiper didn't have him going until the 3rd round, but he was our guy- so we drafted him" I hope they don't care what Mel Kiper thinks of a player.

Pete Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 "even with the third draft slot, we blew the first 3 rounds badly. But we have to give our scouts credit. Our 5th, 6th, and 7th round picks are mediocre to slightly above average. We hit on our late rounds again"

No wonder most of the old timers don't post much around here anymore. Come back guys. Take your site back!
Spiderweb Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 A number of the longer term posters will be back, but that will likely be when the draft dust settles, a CBA is in place, and camp or the preseason is underway.

No wonder most of the old timers don't post much around here anymore. Come back guys. Take your site back! This wasn't actually meant to be negative. The guy we pick could be a complete stud. I'm just saying this is the type of quote we always get from Nix, Gailey, and company, no matter the situation. I'm fairly new to the board but actually couldn't be happier with the progress this organization has shown with the new coaches and FO. Is it perfect? No, but no team is. And I honestly believe the Bills are headed in the right direction! However, I'm optimistic about the Bills every year...even when Dick was coach.

No front office is going to come out and say ****...we !@#$ed up
ieatcrayonz Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 "Today the Bills released _________, the 3rd overall pick. from the 2011 draft" - Chris Brown, Circa August, 2014 Fixed I was going to predict a post draft quote of you whining but you preempted that already. Ah, the heck with it. I'll still predict a post draft quote of you whining.

Bill from NYC Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 "Now that we have improved the secondary, the pass rush will be better." This in the same vein as how selecting Spiller would improve the OL.

K-9 Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) "Well, since the moment last season ended we have paid careful attention to the folks over at TwoBillsDrive and kept constant tabs on what their experts had to say on The Stadium Wall, so yeah, we're quite happy with our picks." GO BILLS!!! Edited April 25, 2011 by K-9

SouthernMan Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 I hope they don't care what Mel Kiper thinks of a player. For whatever reason, Kiper is not charismatic or instantly likable, as say Chris Berman, for example. He's just one of those guys. Maybe too serious for sports entertainment coverage. But you know what?...if we'd gone with his picks over the last several years rather than those chosen by the Bills brass, we'd be a better team right now. Like him or not, the guy does his homework, and I wish our geniuses at One Bills Drive would gone along with his top ranked players.
