GG Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 The draft is all about opportunity. You are going to have some hits and misses no matter who you are. That means when a rare sure thing presents itself, you should grab it. If you were a team that had the positional needs: WR CB Owen Schmitt DE TE OL depth Do we really need more players with bad grades and retro '80s haircuts? There's only so much Leonard Smith nostalgia a fan can handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 The draft is all about opportunity. You are going to have some hits and misses no matter who you are. That means when a rare sure thing presents itself, you should grab it. If you were a team that had the positional needs: WR CB Owen Schmitt DE TE OL depth and you had the chance to use your FOURTH round pick not only to take one of those positions, but to fill it with a proven commodity, would you do it? Of course you would, but the Bills didn't. It is not even draft day and Brandon has failed his first test miserably. Pac Man Jones is a no brainer and we let him get away. Now we are on to the draft where we will inevitably have some hits and some misses. Like I said, everyone has hits and misses and Brandon should not be expected to be perfect. But I do think we as fans have the right to expect him to act on obvious situations like this. I hope this is not a sign of things to come. Look, you can draft for need OR take the best player available regardless of position. But there is ONE draft rule that trumps all others: ALWAYS TAKE THE BEST OWEN SCHMITT AVAILABLE. PacMan Jones, as good as he is both on and off the field (can't argue with his community work in that bright orange outfit), he is no Owen Schmitt. GO BILLS!!!

FightClub Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 You may have missed it, but Dallas got him yesterday with a lesser 4th than ours. No...didn't miss anything. But if the Bills ever sign a player like Pac-man then they might as well move to Toronto because that would be a complete embarassment to the team, organization and community. That we even have 1 fan that would think that would be a good idea absolutely stuns me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FightClub Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Not everyone embraces losing. How does inviting a suspended ciminal to stand on your sidelines (while collecting money from you, occupying a valuable roster spot and taking up valuable cap space) help to keep you from losing?

Grouse89 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 To your points:Pac Man has had 6 arrests. 2.5 of these were clearly in error and he is all done with that stuff. He would play if he came to Buffalo because Goodell is from Jamestown. Playstation 2? I have not had one of those in 8 years. I am now using a Playstation 4 test machine direct from Sony's labs.

GG Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I don't think he meant Schmitt. I think he meant the TEs. Only if his last name is Shockey. Otherwise, I think most TEs are well styled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mean number of crimes committed is 3.5 and anything other than that number must be considered an error. 6 is way off, and as such it is very unlikely to move to 7 which would be a much bigger error.
