ACor58 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Behind DeMeco Ryans of Houston and ahead of Ernie Sims from Detroit (who was picked right after Donte). Between Donte and Ko, our last line of defense should be soild for years to come. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writ...7/mmqbte/1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostsOfTheRockpile Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Dr. Z also picked Whitner as an "All-Pro sleeper" or something to that effect. Thinks Donte is quite the cerebral player. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedi...content.24.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sen. John Blutarsky Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I wasn't particularly pleased with Mr. Whitner's tackling this weekend but I agree that he's been good overall. He doesn't have the stats to make the Pro-Bowl but he'll make the all-rookie team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 but but but but he was a reach! Marv is an idiot for drafting s safety at #8! 828528[/snapback] If he traded down instead of taking a safety AND giving away a pick, who is to say that he couldn't have drafted Sims AND had an extra 2nd (in addition to the one he pissed away). We don't know. A bunch of things could have happened, but Marv wanted Whitner at any and all costs, and coughed up a pick as well. Paint this as a good thing if you choose, but it sure was suspect from where I sit. Seriously.....if Marv drafts a 1st round corner in 07, will you then think that perhaps there is a problem?

Seriously.....if Marv drafts a 1st round corner in 07, will you then think that perhaps there is a problem? 828588[/snapback] I will defintly agree with you if Marv picks a Corner in the first round, but that being said, I really doubt he does. Who knows what marv would have gotten if he did trade the #8 spot and what he could have gotten with it. All I know is that he got the guy him and the scouts wanted and thought was the best in the draft at their position. So far he is proving that it was the right move because he got a damn good player for a position we needed a player for. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither will the Bills. Marv has a plan and no has a better look at what he needs to make that plan work. This offseason will be big for him in trying to get the rest of the pieces in order, now that he has seen what he needs and what he doesn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed83HOF Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 The only way they take a CB in the 1st round is if they let Clements go & McGee sucks the rest of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his strength is probably in coverage--but he's still got to make those tackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max997 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 but but but but he was a reach! Marv is an idiot for drafting s safety at #8! 828528[/snapback] do the poeple who post crap like this have any idea how dumb and childish they sound...same crap over and over, how about adding to the conversation a little I dont think anyone was ever disagreeing that Whitner would be a good player but if the option to trade down with Denver and pickup a 2nd was there I still think that was the better move especially since they were planning all along to move back into the first round even if it was for the wrong guy, the pick should have been Mangold who will be one of the best centers in the league for a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Indablanc Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 In his first Bills draft Marv picked 4 defensive players in the first five picks. After that the drafts were more balanced. I think it worked out pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
