JinWPB Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 1985 proved to be a very good year for the Bills. After picking Bruce #1 overall the rest of the Bills own picks were just so, so. ( only Andre turn out to be a long time starter) They struck gold though with what other teams discarded in final cuts, and years later found a short QB that was a player.The Bill's had a few busts in 1985 which I haven't included here. I just wanted remind everyone what late picks can do for your team. #1 Bruce Smith..Bill's Pick #57 Frank Reich..Bill's Pick #86 Andre Reed..Bill's Pick #169 Ron Pitts..Bill's pick #226 Steve Tasker..Oiler's pick #261 Mark Kelso..Eagle's pick #285 Doug Flutie..Ram's pick So lets hope the Bill's front office does a good job even in the later rounds.

Just so-so...? I think I don't like your definition of so-so. Andre Reed & Frank Reich are so-so picks? May all of our second and third rounders be that crappy.
drnykterstein Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 #285 Doug Flutie..Ram's pick Number one value draft pick ever. Man, I can't believe he made it past the first round. People must have all just been crazy in 1985.
Stenbar Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Number one value draft pick ever. Man, I can't believe he made it past the first round. People must have all just been crazy in 1985. I thought he was drafted by the Bears or the Pats..I dont recall the Rams drafting him
