Pyrite Gal Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Who the heck is Zach Asman! He just was on ESPN radio's draft show. He is a 16 year old who ESPN has dubbed its draft wonder boy. Apparently he is a rampant draft fan who has a website compiling his review of tons of draft mags, tapes of games he made over the air and actually even some game tape he has acquired from college teams. At any rate, he was asked by the ESPN radio interview head about a variety of players and teams and he ended up with the announcer setting him up to rag all over the Bills (and probably make the requisite jokes of a 16 year old about Marv and Ralph having Alzheimers). Fortunately, he actually had a fact-based cut on things and said that even though he had Whitner going later in the draft he thought the Bills had picked a great player who would make a difference for the team. The announcer-boy did not go into any detail or depth with Asman which is too bad because I was curious whether his more than superficial examination of the draft had led to any conlcusions about McCargo (a reach IMHO in this draft crapshoot, bu one the Bills were forced into because they are taking a NEED approach to this draft and they viewed McCargo as poteentially picked before their second round choice and he was the only player they had on their board left with even a reasonable shot at being an immediate starter at our DT hole). However, though the ESPN talk-guy had already joked about Asman being the next Mel Kiper, it turned out this youngster still takes this stuff seriously and did not take the good business way out of using this as an opportunity to feel better about himself by ripping on someone who does this for a living. neat.
