thewildrabbit Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Worst draft in Bills history? That's easy - 2015. Seriously though, the 1982 draft was retched. 1 Perry Tuttle WR Clemson 2 Matt Kofler QB San Diego State 3 459 Eugene Marve LB Saginaw Valley 4 1093 Van Williams RB Carson-Newman 6 21160 DeWayne Chivers TE South Carolina 7 4171 Gary Anderson PK Syracuse 8 23218 Luc Tousignant QB Fairmont State 9 22245 Dennis Edwards DT USC 10 21272 Vic James DB Colorado 11 19298 Frank Kalil OG Arizona 12 23329 Tony Suber DT Gardner-Webb Another one Perry Tuttle went on to play 3 years for Buffalo, and just never realized his potential Matt Kofler played 4 years in the NFL Eugene Marve played 11 years in the NFL, 6 with Buffalo, 4 with Tampa, and one with SD. The guy was a good player until an injury... Williams played 4 years in the NFL Gary Anderson is the one that gets me as I think he purposely played as bad as he could in preseason for Buffalo, got cut and went on to play 23 years in the NFL. The thing is as soon as he became a free agent the Steelers cut their PKer, and signed Anderson.
Rob's House Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 From the sounds of some on this forum... the 2014 draft is the worst, followed by the 2013 draft. 2014 was awful. None of those guys ever even started an NFL game.
Martifal Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Most here have been putting forth defensible statistics to back up their respective selections for "Worst Draft in Bills History". I won't. I'm going to stick with 2002, simply because it was early in the era of those god-awful Titan-esque clown uniforms that Gregg Williams brought over. Talk about futility. I wince when I think back to the early part of the last decade. A bunch of nobodies wearing clown suits, getting creamed by everyone from the Pats* to Mount Saint Mary's Sisters of the Blind. Painful. Agreed Greggo tore apart the # 2 defense in the league because his prior team was #1 and the clown suits, painful times...

Only thing he doesn't have is a Lombardi Trophy.
truth on hold Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) If he stay with Bills, think he nails Norwood's kick in XXV? Only thing he doesn't have is a Lombardi Trophy. Well he missed a shorter one that would have won the NFC championship and put Vikings in the Super Bowl when Cunningham was the QB. So I'm not about to annoint him as Mr Clutch Edited September 8, 2014 by Joe_the_6_pack

So I'm not about to annoint him as Mr Clutch Good point, I forgot about that one. Anyway: I had visions of something bad happening yesterday when the refs gave their last good bye to the Bills by calling the penalty on that game winning short FG! Thank God it worked out... Boy were they doing everything to help the Bears. I know, I know it was an false start or something...
