Brandon Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 315353[/snapback] Unfortunately, I can't help but feel that is right. I like the two picks themselves, but in the context of the team's needs, particularly the OL, I have at least some reservations about this draft to this point. I can't help but feel that this OL is really going to come back to bite us this season. Then again, maybe the Bills felt this OL draft class really sucked, but I still think its going to be painful to watch unless Donahoe can either hit a home run with a day 2 pick or find another decent FA.

Or maybe, just maybe, the Bills think the group they have will do well?

Brandon Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Or maybe, just maybe, the Bills think the group they have will do well? 315393[/snapback] That's certainly possible, but I've heard it before and with this team, it can usually be described as famous last words.

That was in the past, when the Bills didn't have a real O-line coach. Last year McNally was coming in and had to teach everyone things from the ground up. Now they've had a year under him, and he's been able to add some more players.

A quick look at his 2003 NY Giants OL is a testament to that. He needs talent to work with and I'm not too sure there's an abundance of it on the Bills current OL.

True, but here's definitely more than there was on that Giants roster, and there's a lot more depth as well. When injuries hit the Giant's O-line, their already bad O-line became horrible.

SestakFan Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 This Everett kid is going to be something special. Was hoping that the Bills would get him in the 2nd round! This kid is going to be the finest TE ever to wear a Bills uni. YEAH......Great Choice!!!

Aside from Evans, where were the downfield threats for the team? Moulds is more of a power guy, and Aiken, Reed and Campbell only encouraged defenses to load up the box. The team had a need to threaten the deep middle of the defense to move the safeties and linebackers off the ball. These two picks meet that need. This will give McGahee more room to operate. And if the Bills don't get a OT in the draft, Donahoe will grab Walker or Shelton after June 1st. Would you rather McNally work with one of these former 1st round picks or with a rookie like Adam Terry? To me, I slightly favor the veterens.
