OnTheRocks Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Didn't they get Marshawn and Poz the same year? Yes...but Poz was a second rounder. The year the Bills took Donte Whitner and John McCargo in 2006.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted April 15, 2009 Author Posted April 15, 2009 Thanks guys. For some reason I thought it was longer than that
Cash Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Yes...but Poz was a second rounder. The year the Bills took Donte Whitner and John McCargo in 2006. And before that, the Bills also traded up for a second 1st-rounder to pick JP Losman in 2004 (Lee Evans was the first). Slightly different question: When was the last time the Bills had two 1st-round picks, but didn't acquire one of them by trading up from their 2nd-round pick? I'm actually not sure of the answer. In 1986, the Bills picked Ronnie Harmon with the #16 pick that originally belonged to Cleveland, and picked Will Wolford with the #20 pick that originally belonged to Dallas. Obviously there was some wheeling and dealing there, but I don't know if it happened on draft day or prior to the draft. I do know the Bills didn't have a 2nd-round pick that year, so that suggests they may have traded up for Wolford. The year before, the Bills picked Bruce with their own pick at #1 overall, and Derrick Burroughs at #14. (Those worked out about equally well.) The Bills also picked Mark Traynowicz in the second round at #29 overall, so it looks like 1985 definitely gets us there, even if 1986 doesn't. And by the way, ESPN's draft history tool is really cool, even if they made it impossible to find: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfldraft/draft/tracker/history
VABills Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Did we have one where both were at least semi-successful?

The Rev.Mattb74 ESQ. Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 83- 12th overall took Trent Hunter TE, then at 14th overall took Kelly. Hunter was then traded for Ferragamo the next year.
RayFinkle Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 whitner/mccargo evans/losman There is a lesson here that the front office hopefully has learned. When thinking about trading back into the 1st round...don't.
OnTheRocks Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 83- 12th overall took Trent Tony Hunter TE, then at 14th overall took Kelly. Hunter was then traded for Ferragamo the next year. Not to nit pick -...but fixed.
Captain Hindsight Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Did we have one where both were at least semi-successful? Jim kelly and keith mckeller was the same first round i believe
