Football season can't get here fast enough. I'm guessing a rediculous number of pages will be generated that will finally reach a general consensus of Maybin being the worst 1st round pick for the Buffalo Bills. Guys like Spiller and Mike Williams actually had NFL careers. Maybin is most likely working on his art/painting in some quaint studio enjoying his NFL earnings. Good for him.

CJ Spiller was a good football player for the Bills. This is the dumbest thread ever. And Mike Williams was a no-brainer pick, can't hold that one against the Bills. I hold Torell Troup and TJ Graham against the Bills.

tj graham cost us russel wilson which made us pick ej and then goodwin and woods when it was clear tj sucked which made us then pick watkins when it was clear they were just OK.

At least Spiller was productive unlike the rest on the list. I also felt McGahee was a terrible choice. At the time, the Bills had Travis Henry who ran for over 1,400 yards when McGahee was drafted with a blown knee.

except mcahee, like marshawn, had he been kept, would have proven to be an ultra productive all pro back for us, remember we traded mcgahee and got marshawn then got spiller after trading marshawn, we could have just kept either Henry or later fred and never drafted any of them or just kept mcgahee and avoided spiller and marshawn.

 

management kept pulling the trigger too soon but got lucky with the guys they already had.

Maybin

It's Maybust and it will always be Maybust. I even hate the fact that his cousin is playing for the Angels....

does rob johnson count?

We didn't draft Robojoke in the 1st round.

Lynch was clever like that.

 

Rather than hold out......or feign injury.......Eugene Parker style attempts to force the organizations hand.............Marshawn just showed up and played then slipped notes to opponents in passing to ask them to tell their GM to swing a trade for him.....you know.......in the course of their normal meetings with the GM to discuss the roster...........therefore FORCING the Bills to trade him.

in terms of flat out bust its maybin. dick 'dickball' jauron was desperate for a game changer and went all in on roll that turned up snake eyes

 

but in terms of massively disappointing it has to be mike williams. graded out as a sure fire blue-chipper, couldnt be a safer pick in the whole draft. then apparently he fell in love with rolling around in his money and didnt care anymore. nobody saw that coming, but it happened. a general managers worst nightmare

The problem with McGahee was that he only played hard until he was given the starting role over Henry. Once Henry was off the team, McGahee stopped playing as hard which is why Levy traded him to Baltimore.

There have been at least 6 (debatably more) first round picks since the start of the drought that were worse than CJ Spiller:

  • Mike Williams
  • McGahee
  • Losman
  • McCargo
  • Maybin
  • Manuel

Add Eric Flowers and Walt Patulski. And the go cloaer to the top of the list.

Mike Williams just because of how high he was drafted. Tom Cousineau gave us the 1st round pick used to pick Jim Kelly so he may have been one of our best.

I agree, CJ had a lot of great games for us. Games we otherwise lose without him.

 

There several other guys that never changed the outcome of a single game. Flowers, mccargo and maybin come to mind.

 

Worst part about maybin was that he juiced before the NFL combine and had an artificially larger amount of muscle mass and strength. As soon as he was drafted he had to cut the steroids and he fell 30 lbs to his actual body weight, which was simply not enough to compete against NFL blockers.

 

So it wasn't just a miss on evaluating his talent, we literally got scammed by the guy, who had the balls to hold out all of training camp as well. He was the worst pick ever.
