truth on hold Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) Exactly I hope so. Honestly your multiple replies were so ignorant I wasn't really sure where to start. But I'll try: - so you really think players perform exactly to expectations? Tom Brady 7th round? Jamarcus Russell #1 overall? - where exactly do you get your 75th and 100th player ranks from anyway? Could there be others with different ranks? - "role players"? Heres what NFL.com said about Darby: "Without a first-round pick, the Bills used their principal selection to add a player with high upside who could become a playmaker at the most important position in Ryan's defense." And if miller makes it he's a starting guard; an every down position. You thought they were special teamers or something? - re: Watkins: you do of course realize there were other rookie WRs who performed as good or better than Watkins last, one by a large margin? - you do realize we could have had 2 of them, including the wide margin outperformer, and kept this year's first? - you do realize ( or perhaps not), my post expressed the view that we overpaid for Watkins, not that he is a bad player?

Dopey Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Holy crap, Watkins is a Bill. Since last season. Drop it already. No, you're right. Dammit we should have drafted ODB, THE GOAT! We have some of the best "hindsight is 20/20" draft experts on this here board. Geez.

You were trolling with your post. Do you know how many targets OBJ got in week 17? The answer is 21 and 63 over the last 4 weeks. I'm sure Watkins would have put up similar (if not better) stats with an average of 16 targets a week. It's really nice to analyze draft in hindsight. If GMs had the benefit of hindsight a lot of things would be done differently. The Bills went and got a guy that was the highest rated guy on their board in a 3 year window. EVERYONE loved Watkins as a prospect. That wasn't a reach. The ranking I believe we're from Scouts Inc. if you read the post I am a little indifferent on the picks. I don't think that this draft is that important (blasphemy). I'd rather a veteran OL that can handle stunts, etc... With that being said they acquired some talent and hopefully they help. The Tom Brady argument?!? Really, that's what we are sticking with? A fluke from 15 years ago is now the norm? Technology has improved scouting by leaps and bounds since then. There are so many less misses. Look at the number of starting QBs around the league drafted in the top 11 picks. Luck, Manning, Manning, Rivers, RG3, Roethlisberger, Tannehill, Palmer, Satfford, Bortles, Ryan, Bradford, Cam, Cutler, Winston, Mariota and Alex Smith. That is more than 1/2 of the league in the top 1/3 of the 1st round. If you add in Flacco, Manziel, Bridgewater, EJ and Rodgers you've covered about 70% of the starters. If you stretch it through round 2 you add Kaep, Carr, Dalton and Brees. Round 3 gives your RW, Mallet, and Foles. That leaves you with 2 starters (Brady, Romo) drafted outside of round 3 with more than 1/2 in the top 11 picks. Brady and Romo entered the league about 15 years ago!! Can we please stop acting like that is the norm?
Deranged Rhino Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Honestly your multiple replies were so ignorant I wasn't really sure where to start. But I'll try: All of your posts are ignorant trolling attempts, so calling someone else's post (especially someone who actually knows the game of football) ignorant is the height of irony. A great way to start my Saturday.
