ans4e64 Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 I still remember when the Bills tarded back into the first round of the 2006 first round. I thought for sure the move was for Nick Mangold because at the time there was a lot of talk of us drafting a Center. To be honest I haven't heard or seen much of Mangold to evaluate him, but looking back on it I wished they would have selected him instead. Hindsight is always 20/20. BTW anyone care to comment on how Mangold has been doing? I'm betting at least better than Fowler
Bill from NYC Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 BTW anyone care to comment on how Mangold has been doing? He might be the best center in the NFL.
auburnbillsbacker Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Getting a fourth round pick for McCargo is a blessing. The bills are a hard working blue collar team. McCargo had talent, but his work ethic had to make him an outcast in the locker room. The shocking part of the trade was the compensation. The bills did very well to get a fourth. It is better to admit to your mistake, and make the best of the situation, than hold out hope that McCargo will finally play like a probowler.
BillsWatch Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Yup. A fourth round pick, in exchange for a fat DT, a 2nd and 3rd (that we used to get the fat DT), and a 3rd and 5th (that we used to get Stroud because the fat DT didn't pan out). And you would have complained if Bills didn't trade him for that compensation because he is a lazy, no talent player. When is the audition for WGR?
Captain Hindsight Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 He might be the best center in the NFL. Really? Jeff saturday... Olin krutz... Mangold has been a good player but best in the nfl might be a stretch
cåblelady Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Yup. A fourth round pick, in exchange for a fat DT, a 2nd and 3rd (that we used to get the fat DT), and a 3rd and 5th (that we used to get Stroud because the fat DT didn't pan out). Good one!
murra Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 That's it? I had my heart set on getting at least a 3rd. Really? Who would trade a third-round pick for someone who hasn't seen the field? McCargo is a bust, I'm suprised we got something for him. Maybe we should have thrown this 4th and a 3rd at KC...of course that would mean making an effort to improve.
BillsZubaz Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Another (half is glass full) way to view this is: The Bills also selected Kyle Williams in the 5th round of the same draft. So, we got a starting DT out of the draft (although our 5th instead of 1st round selection). But reglardless, we got a starting DT. So we essentially wash a 5th rounder for a 4th next year. Wish we got a 3rd!
UB2SF Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 BTW anyone care to comment on how Mangold has been doing? He's looking awesome in those milk commercials, with the hair-metal 'do and the guitar filled with milk.
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 that's it? That's it? I had my heart set on getting at least a 3rd. You're kidding, right? Anything more than a 6th rounder should legally be considered theft. The guy was rated as a 3rd rounder by a lot of people coming out of college, has accomplished nothing since being drafted, didn't even dress opening day, has hardly been able to find playing time this year on a team that stresses DL rotation as much as anyone else in the league, and has done absolutely nothing with what snaps he has been given. Now I understand why they were willing to go so thin at DT for the moment. They STOLE a 4th rounder from Polian here. Kudos, Brandon/Jauron.
Nanker Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Bad move. They should definitely have not traded him and kept his azz on the bench for the rest of the year. That would have taught him a thing or two.
Realist Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 How can anyone complain about getting a fourth for a player that didn't even dress? Especially when half of you wanted a ProBowl Tight End for a 3rd. We're lucky we got a fourth and not a 6th or 7th.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Who's this McGargo you speak of? Don't you know? He was the guy who won the 4th season of "the next food network star"? Apparently we traded him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_McCargo,_Jr.
SKOOBY Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 McCargo is dead weight that we got something for, we cut our losses now and hope to find value with the extra pick.
BLZFAN4LIFE Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Who's this McGargo you speak of? Now, it's actually Mc Car gone.
ieatcrayonz Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 The colts play the pack next week. Your theory just got trashed. Sox forces timely and accurate disclosure. The word "timely" is one that is subject to interpretation. IMO, the NFL, Bills and Colts are walking a fine line here for reporting an hour or two late. In the other thread, people were claiming that trades might be reported the next day. That is in no way timely and the Feds would be all over it. A couple of hours late may still be considered timely, but since Polian worked for the Bills at one time, there will be worries about collusion. The Packers being public really doesn't come into play. Like I said before, the NFL is considered a public company because of their anti-trust exemption and must comply. The Packers are merely one of 33 holy owned subsidiaries consisting of the 32 teams and the administrative functions of the league.
davefan66 Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 McCargo is a lazy piece of who was given plenty of chances to contribute. Getting a 4th round pick out of Polian for the guy is great. Honestly, he had the potential to be a straight up cut if we kept him until the offseason. The fact we got Kyle Williams in the same draft, and he has done very well makes this somewhat more palatable.
