T master Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Just wondering if some one may be able to clear this one up for me ? I thought Martez Wilson was the top rated LB in this draft after Miller , why did we go Sheppard instead when Wilson was still on the board ? Was it his leadership skills ? I didn't see him play & know very little about him but was just wondering about the pick , thought maybe some one could clarify . Thanks !! Go Bills !!!!!
Doc Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 I think it's safe to say that with Wilson going in the earlier part of the 3rd round, he wasn't considered a top LB. When I see him, I think "workout warrior."

I think the fact they coached him for the Senior Bowl was the biggest factor. All things being equal would you rather draft a player you spent a week working with and got to see in a practice setting or a player you maybe only met briefly once or twice?

Read Gailey's comments in the dedicated thread, especially what he said about coaching him at the Sr. Bowl & read Sheppard's comments.
