SoCal Pat Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 Not ours, but New Orleans. From Bob Glauber at Newsday in Long Island: 2. New Orleans Saints: Reggie Bush, RB, USC. The Saints had offers from the Jets, Bills and Packers, but were unwilling to part with the pick because they believe Bush's explosiveness will provide major impact. 8. Buffalo Bills: Donte Whitner, S, Ohio State. Come again? The Bills got a good player in Whitner, but the bigger need here was at defensive tackle. Haloti Ngata and Brodrick Bunkley were on the board, but Buffalo reached for Whitner. 26. Buffalo Bills: John McCargo, DT, North Carolina State. So let's get this straight: The Bills passed on Ngata and Bunkley at No. 8 and took a safety, then traded up for an Average Joe such as McCargo? Whoa.

Alaska Darin Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 I have a hunch the offer was to move up for D'Brick.

Ghost of BiB Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 I have a hunch the offer was to move up for D'Brick. 676231[/snapback] One would like to think so. Still, I thought Marv was adverse to trading up at all - Jauron wanted to. But, water under the bridge anyway.
frogger Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 What grown man doesn't like bush, come on people...I've been drinking

zow2 Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 I love these little tidbits because now...after our picks....the pundits come out and spin it like Ngata and Bunkley were no-brainers. Like they are sure thing All-Pro's and the Bills passed. It's all a risk folks. Our picks could turn out to be studs....know one really knows?

Bermans cabby has been throwing curve balls all day

Bermans cabby has been throwing curve balls all day 676288[/snapback] I think it's pretty clear that Berman uses the term 'curve ball' as a euphemism for '!@#$ up'.
