Rd 4, Pick #105: S Duke Williams - Nevada

[mrags]

Charles Davis said on NFLN just said that the Bills are having a very good draft, FWIW.

yeah. That's what I saw too. Reassuring aint it? And so much different from what we heard at the end of the 1st round.

[BillnutinHouston]

I know they needed a saftey at some point; but, a TE and an OL are more pressing needs.

 

They're staying true to their board.

[QCity]

If your filling pressing holes in the 4th, your likely disappointed come September.

 

Exactly. There's a big disconnect between what the fans think we need and what OBD thinks we need, especially at guard. The FO has said they like the line, don't be surprised if we don't pick a guard at all.

Well...It seems that Duke's off-the-field issues were very early on in his College career...Polian commented that the Nevada Coaches said he was a modal citizen by his Sr year and that they could not be more proud about the way he turned his life around...

 

For sure - was knocking the comment, not the guys.

Yeah, I'll be consistent in saying I really don't care what draft experts say because its all a matter of opinion. But I really like Davis. Seems like a good guy who really knows the college game. I guess we'll see.

Plus, you look at what the transgressions were. Were they stupid stuff that 18 and 19 year old kids typically do, or was it something more serious. As for Duke, he got dinged for "underage possession of alcohol." Show me a person that wasn't guilty of that and i'll show you a liar.

I can see it now, Williams with a huge hit on a receiver and the crowd responds "DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKE!".

Yeah, what did Levy do for us?

From the 2nd Article:

 

“It’s a complete 180,” Williams said of his metamorphosis from a freshman to a senior, “especially being around great people and being around guys who want to see me succeed. My faith has been stronger and I’ve become a better man. That just takes time. I’m glad I’ve gone through the things I’ve had to go through because it just makes you a better person.”

Thanks Casey Bender, I was just posting the same things.

[Big Turk]

His model citizens got their ass whooped by the criminals in DC and Dallas

[Marv Levy]

Hey, I resent that now.

shut up Marv. Instead of being a babysitter, maybe you should have concentrate on coaching and we'd have a Championship in Buffalo.
