Over 29 years of fanhood Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) Meh, I never read too much into early draft grades. They mean relatively nothing and are more for the fan to get a little excited or upset with what the team has done. Personally, I think we did well in the draft. We acquired players of need and also players that will push other players at certain positions. Overall, to me that's a good draft. If we end up with 2-3 new starters that's a GREAT draft, but no one will know that till an actual down of football is played. Fixed. It's not even relative what the grades are and if kiper was such a great talent evaluater he'd be making lots more money as an NFL GM... Like Nix, who is doing a fine job fixing this franchise.

BigBuff423 Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 You sound miserable. Do yourself a favor and stop watching the Bills, because Nix and Chan ain't going anywhere. If this good of an offseason and this good of a draft (on paper) don't have you feeling the slightest bit optimistic, well, I just don't know what to say. One word: YUP!!!!!!^^
artmalibu Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Not all reports are bad General manager Buddy Nix also found value on Day 3. Adding two solid offensive linemen was an absolute must; Zebrie Sanders (Florida State) cost them just a fifth-round pick despite having the physical attributes to become a starter, and Oregon’s Mark Asper is a tough and underrated agile guard who adds great depth. Getting good, young linebackers Nigel Bradham (Florida State, fourth) and Tank Carder (TCU, fifth), and a starting nickel back in Ron Brooks (LSU, fourth) also added strength to the back seven. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d828ba670/article/nfl-draft-day-3-which-teams-won-which-lost
