Fires Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 This mock Draft had him going to the Fish in round 1. Football.com If you look at like we stole one from the Fish, I don't think it's a bad pick at all.
PromoTheRobot Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 Donte Whittner was picked because of his charecter and will to win. Not because of some fluff from a draft geek. PTR

colin Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 this is just silly. the bills AND detriot didn't bother to trade down to pick up a 3rd, arizona prolly thought they didn't need to trade up (as cutler OR matt would have gone to them). so the bills were looking at trading down to 14-18 and getting a 3rd rounder? we have 2 as it is, we wanted the biggest impact guy we could get in the 1st. we had a shot at either QB, ngata, bunk, justice, and so on but decided on this guy. i think the bills thought this guy is worth more than anyone named above plus a 3rd, otherwise they could have taken any one of them.
ndirish1978 Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 We NEEDED to draft a name. Other than McGahee and Spikes we have NO ONE anyone outside of the Bills recognizes. We're a joke in the NFL because we don't have marquee players. We reach in every draft and pick nobodys

ndirish1978 Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 Yeah drafting a recognizable player is stupid. id rather have a guy that was projected to go in the 2nd. Leinhart would have given us a reason to be excited about our offense again. Whitneris going to be a good player for us but we could have changed the face of the franchise

Evans8321Willis Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 we really need to trade back into the 1st round and pick up a guy like bunkley if hes still around, deal clements and a 3rd rounder, i dont see us paying nate the money hes looking for
sven233 Posted April 29, 2006 Author Posted April 29, 2006 OK, OK.....I have cooled down a bit. Even though I thought the pick was too high, I still like the player. Here is the thing....Whitner works out with Fletcher and Spikes. They rave about the guy's work ethic and for his desire. He is ALWAYS around the football. He can make plays. He is solid in run support. He hits hard and is a strong tackler. He is fast. He runs around 4.36 so he can stay with even the best receivers. He can cover TEs one on one. He plays with a mean streak! His only real weakness is his size. He is only 5'11". So, he will have a little troubel with the taller receivers, however, he does have a 40" verticle leap. So, he can make up for his lack of height in that way. The big thing, and I think the reason he was drafted by the Bills is this....HIS ATTITUDE! He is a "FOOTBALL PLAYER." I know that gets over used, but it is true with this guy. While I still think it might be a bit high, I think he is a solid player and will be our SS for many years to come. Also, it doesn't hurt that Spikes and Fletcher love the guy. Nobody has a better work ethic than they do. So, if you like and respect those guys, don't be too upset with Whitner. I think he will be a good fit for this team.

State Mr. Inside who often occupied multiple blockers to help free up pass rushing teammates Mario Williams and Manny Watson. A stress fracture in his left foot ended his 2005 season in October, and then he opted to skip his senior season to enter the draft. Injury doesn't concern scouts, who like his strength and non-stop motor.
sven233 Posted April 29, 2006 Author Posted April 29, 2006 Actually, Mangold is the guy I want to trade back into the 1st for.......
Max997 Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 the cab got stuck in Buffalo but ended up in Philly you can still hear the amazment in bermans voice regarding the Bills taking Whitner

sven233 Posted April 29, 2006 Author Posted April 29, 2006 Where did you see that he worked out w/ Spikes/fletch?? 674971[/snapback] It has been reported.....in fact, Fletcher was just on WGR doing an interview.........said his work ethic is second to none. I am sure Fletcher's interview will be in the Audio Vault soon.
