Mike in Syracuse Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) My world is upside down. Damn, start this draft already!!! Edited April 26, 2012 by Mike in Syracuse
GOBILLS78 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 It has gotten to that inevitable point where I don't really care who they pick. They're going to get a good player, and that's nice.
jjmac Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I know that we've gotten over the "Ralph is cheap" mantra, but I can just picture the number of "Buddy is asleep" posts when we select somebody that 80% of the board disagrees with.

But that's the nice part about this: for the first time in....hell, a decade....I'm quietly confident about the draft. I knew last year was easy one in round 1...but Buddy et al kicked ass in the rest as well. Even if it is an unexpected pick...it won't shake me that much. Edited April 26, 2012 by OCinBuffalo
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Mike, what say you to the contention that Buddy is cheap and that Ralph is asleep?

It is nice to have somebody doing the drafting who knows what he's doing.
CSBill Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 It has gotten to that inevitable point where I don't really care who they pick. They're going to get a good player, and that's nice. Really? Two words: Aaron Maybin
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) Really? Two words: Aaron Maybin Really? You mean the guy that was drafted by Russ Brandon and Dick Jauron? Edited April 26, 2012 by San Jose Bills Fan
DC Grid Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Really? Two words: Aaron Maybin Two more just as relevant words: Jim Kelly
GOBILLS78 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Really? Two words: Aaron Maybin Wait -- are you saying there have been busts before? Thanks for the reminder. I can't imagine them going that far out on a limb again. The player they pick will be a day one contributor.
It's in My Blood Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Really? Two words: Aaron Maybin You do realize that Jauron's regime made that pick, right?
Mike in Syracuse Posted April 26, 2012 Author Posted April 26, 2012 Mike, what say you to the contention that Buddy is cheap and that Ralph is asleep? I say, there is a HIGH probability that Ralph is in fact, asleep. Buddy might be cheap, he does seem like the kind of guy that would pick up a check though............ Really? Two words: Aaron Maybin Really? Two words: wrong GM
VanCity Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Really? Two words: Aaron Maybin One word: ridiculous. Have you been asleep the past two years? OBD has had it right with the majority of the picks in both 2010 and 2011 and I expect the same, if not better, this year. I haven't seen a bust in the past two drafts (maybe Wang and Calloway, but both were later round projects), though there are a few question marks (Jasper, Troup, Levi Brown and Chris White) but all have shown promise or were BPA's late in the draft. In Buddy we should trust. The guy has not let us down in the least.
bills_fan Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I definitely trust in Buddy...that said, I am cheerleading for every position save DB (CB or S). Big guys early, little guys later.
