SoCal Pat Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 While I have no doubt Modrak signed off on Whitner as being an excellent prospect, taking him some 10-15 spots higher than he should've been speaks volumes about how green Marv is as a GM. No way Donahoe makes this pick at 8. Once again, we raise eyebrows in the draft, but this time for all the wrong reasons. Further slipping into Bolivian, Buffalo.
Corp000085 Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 You're right, donahoe would have picked a 5'4" wide receiver.

RayFinkle Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 Tom Donahoe is going to sleep like a baby tonight.

Arkady Renko Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 Donahoe picked McGahee when it seemed fairly clear that he would have been available much further down due to concerns about his knee. In fact, Drew R. told McGahee to make it look like teams were calling him when they were not. Donahoe could have gotten WM later--he was played and was a fool by similar logic.
gobillsinytown Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 I knew it! I just knew we would get a "bring back Donahoe" psot with this pick.

nodnarb Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 Ridiculous post. What do YOU know? Do YOU know more about building a team for this system than Jauron/Levy/Modrak? Talk about overreaction. The Rams destroyed the Bills chances of executing a trade with the Broncos. Teams know who other teams are going to take. The Broncos knew they could get Cutler by trading with the Rams, which allowed them to get their guy OUT of the top 10, which is also key. The Bills didn't have enough leverage to execute a fair value trade, so they took the guy they liked the most for their system. He's very good. Give these guys a chance. To ask for Tom Donahoe back is laughable.
