BillsFanForever19 Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 I'll admit, I didn't know much about Steve Johnson when we took him in Round 7. But upon doing some research, he has some pretty impressive numbers in his one year as a starter after sitting on the bench as a Junior transfer, spending his first two years in a JUCO school. http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/scoutingr...evejohnson.html I use NFLDC for my draft needs. I found this thread that was started before the draft and everyone seems to be really high on the guy. http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/forum/sho...ead.php?t=16481 With his ties to one of the leaders of our team (Marshawn) and his talent/size, I wouldn't be surprised if our little 7th round pick made a big splash.
Kelly the Dog Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Oh, terrific. Now our two new WRs are a gat-packin' killer and a kleptomaniac.
VABills Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Oh, terrific. Now our two new WRs are a gat-packin' killer and a kleptomaniac. You beat me to it. Why I ought to....

Yep...you never know. T.J. Houshmanzedeh was a 7th round pick. Wayne Chrebet was undrafted. Jason Peters was undrafted. Rocky Bleier was a 16th round pick. Just to name a few examples.

I like what I briefly saw and read about him, too. IMO, he's going to have a tough time making the team, unless one of three things changes: 1] He shows he can be a terror on special teams, like the one guy directly above him on the depth chart did, Justin Jenkins. 2] The Bills decide to keep an extra WR on the roster over what they did last year because Johnson showed so much potential AND they are satisfied at most other positions as far as numbers go. 3] There is a significant injury to Evans, Hardy, Roscoe, Reed or Jenkins. I would like to see him play so well they keep 6 WRs, or at the very least get him on the PS. He seems like a player.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Let's trade Hardy. James Hardy for Marvin Harrison. Brandon, git r done!!
MattyT Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 James Hardy for Marvin Harrison. Brandon, git r done!! We could do a quick draw showdown. Winner (aka "survivor") gets to spend a year in Buffalo.
Adam Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 The thought of Evans, Hardy, Reed and Johnson in a w WR set gets me excited. I also think that Fine will be a very good tight end in a few years.
Beerball Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 3] There is a significant injury to Evans, Hardy, Roscoe, Reed or Jenkins. Why did you go & do that?
BuffaloBilliever Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 I don't know about this whole gat-packing thing, but it probably would've done Rashard Mendenhall some good two weeks ago. Johnson seems like a very good guy who's excited about being a Buffalo Bill. But let's toss dirt on his proverbial grave already
Lurker Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Great... a poor man's Sam Aiken Less far form the truth, I suspect, than we realize.
Chandler#81 Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 The thought of Evans, Hardy, Reed and Johnson in a w WR set gets me excited. I also think that Fine will be a very good tight end in a few years. Only 'very good'? Not Fi... nevermind..
Adam Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Only 'very good'? Not Fi... nevermind.. How about very fine...then he can drink lots of apple juice

Bills will probably keep 6 WRs and drop a backup OL The starters never get hurt and the backups are worthless anyway.
The Tomcat Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 One of my best friends is named Steve Johnson..... I called him after the draft to congratulate him. (he lives in Boston now) He had no clue he was eligible. Wonder if he can get me tickets?
EndZoneCrew Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Yep...you never know. T.J. Houshmanzedeh was a 7th round pick. Wayne Chrebet was undrafted. Jason Peters was undrafted. Rocky Bleier was a 16th round pick. Just to name a few examples. true...wasn't Rocky Dennis a 9th round pick for the Brooklyn Dodgers?
