ACor58 Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Nice work Donte. The media are all backtracking. "We are not saying that it was a reach, just that the Bills coulod have traded back and still been able to pick him...blah, blah, blah."
Mike32282 Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Wow, look at all that crow being eaten by the media.
Ray Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 We hired an old fool as GM! He has been out of the NFL forever--the game is different.
Catholic Guilt Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 We should have picked Reggie Bush.
I Forgot My Last Username Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Doesn't Matt Leinart deserve this more? After all he knocked up that basketball chick, that's got to be worth at least 10 points
tennesseeboy Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 I love it. Actually most of us (including me) thought it was a reach. What a nice comeuppance for ML and DJ. Now if we only finish this season over .500-how do you get elected to the Hall of Fame twice?

John from Riverside Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 This was a very good draft by the old man.....if he can match it next year then we will be on our way back to the show..... These guys will be even better next year with a year of experience under their belt...... I think our 1st pick in next years draft should be spend on a speed rush end or a offensive linemen (trading down of course)
keepthefaith Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Wow, look at all that crow being eaten by the media. 789335[/snapback] Fantastic!
R. Rich Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 I think our 1st pick in next years draft should be spend on a speed rush end or a offensive linemen (trading down of course) 789354[/snapback] Maybe there won't be a need to trade down (@ least in the first round)??? If we do end up w/ a high to mid round pick, I sure hope it's for a pass rusher, IF there's one suitable for that pick, that is.

I Forgot My Last Username Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Great avatar!!! 789352[/snapback] When we make it to the playoffs, I'll turn it right side up. Then it'll be a "Scurrying Buffalo."
Bill from NYC Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Way to go Donte! Ya had me a little scared with the holdout. Hats off to Marv as well. Our record for the last 11 years or so proves that concentrating on DBs, RBs and Recievers as early as possible in the draft has resulted in winning a ton of football games. As for qbs.....don't just draft them.....trade away picks for them as well!

As to your argument, I think we can look @ the Raiders and see that drafting OL high doesn't guarantee tons of wins, either. I'm just hoping Marv and company will concern themselves w/ drafting the best PLAYERS for this team, regardless of position. We got a starting DT out of this draft, just not where people wanted to: we got him in the 5th round. As for the OL, I posted yesterday about how I feel they're much better in run blocking but still need work (interior especially) in pass protection. They're a work in progress, but it's pretty decent progress so far. It's still too early to tell for sure, so we'll see what happens down the line. So far though, I like the defensive players we were able to acquire in this draft.

But thanks.
Fan in Chicago Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 At the bottom of the buffalobills.com article it said past winners from Buffalo were Gabe Northern and Sam Cowart. Isn't it telling that we haven't had a winner from the offensive side of the ball ? Congrats Donte ! Now go for the rookie of the year award.
