That's the one. The absolute best answer, my first thought and let's not forget John McCargo when we could have drafted Gronk

Seanbillsfan2206 Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 Josh Allen over Josh Rosen. Just kidding. But seriously there are just way too many do overs that I would consider. Mike Evans over Watkins? You can pretty much go down from there...

People are suggesting that she may have set this up or mad at her for squatting; and those are legit theories or speculations at this point because we only have a little information, nothing tying McCoy to it and little Motivation for a multimillionaire with a bunch of money left on the table to commit the crime. He’s more than able to defend himself, but all I’ve seen Tom do is scrutinize every angle of this story. So “protecting her from scrutiny” is flat out ridiculous. She isn’t “squatting” either chief.

frostbitmic Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 Two first round draft picks in one year ... Ngata over Whitner with our 1st pick and then we traded back into the 1st and took McCargo over Nick Mangold.

mead107 Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 I would have taken Dan Marino instead of kelly. ? 1
Rock'em Sock'em Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) #1 - Trading Dallas the #20 pick in 2005 for JP Losman in 2004. The next year, Aaron Rodgers was drafted #25 overall. #2 - Maybin over Orakpo in 2009. Maybin had a quick first step ... right out of the NFL. Edited July 12, 2018 by Rock'em Sock'em
noacls Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 Ngata over whitner. This would have changed a few things. You prolly don't take Dareus and that gives us a aj green, patrick peterson, julio Jones, jj watt, or tyron Smith.. if one of wr was taken then no **** trade for Watkins.
Kirby Jackson Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 I think Graham over Wilson has to be the answer but we should stick to the 1st round or 2 at most. Stars that were drafted later were missed by everyone. Swinging and missing early sets you back. I’ll try to use just 1st rounders vs. other 1st rounders. Also i will try to take guys that made sense at the time. With that being said: - Mike Williams over Ed Reed - Whitner over Ngata - McCargo over Mangold - McKelvin over Talib - Maybin over Orakpo - Spiller over Thomas - Dareus over Julio - Gilmore over Cox - EJ over Hopkins - Sammy over Mack FWIW, we really didn’t pass on a lot of great QBs. We had a shot in 2017 at some good ones but got our guy this year. We will see how that plays out.

We had a shot in 2017 at some good ones but got our guy this year. We will see how that plays out. That's true, most successful 1st round QB's in the last 15 years were already off the board by the time the Bills picked. Biggest misses: McKelvin at 11th instead of Flacco at 18th. And for a huge "what if": we traded our 2005 1st rd pick to select Losman in 2004. That 2005 pick ended up being 20 overall, some guy named Aaron Rodgers was still on the board at that time (he was the 24th pick). In hindsight the Dareus pick really hurts. There's about 5 future HoF'ers we could've realistically picked there. 1
Orlando Buffalo Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 I will disagree on the Dareus and Watkins being worst as both had there great moments. I would certainly change out McCargo for Andrew Whitworth and obviously TJ for Russell(though Russell still shocks me how good he is).
Adam727 Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 Anyone but JP Losman in 2004 so we could take Aaron Rodgers in 2005. 1
FearLess Price Posted July 14, 2018 Posted July 14, 2018 This is a sad sad depressing thread. If only foresight was a skill that could be developed through the destruction of the borders that hold the mind in a society created play pen. 1
BillsGuru4 Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 When I initially saw this thread my mind went directly to maybin over orakpo. I was screaming at the tv for that one. But a great point was made here. If we took Ngata over Whitner, that leaves us with the pick of an amazing litter between julio, aj, jj and a couple more i cant think of. Boy that stings. Also, I didn’t hate it at the time, but that trade up for sammy hurts.
