Lurker Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Dwayne Wright says hello. Yep, that one's on Ralph. I suspect it came down to a coin flip on which position to take, and Ralph probably said something like "you can never have too many good RBs"...
Ramius Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Yep, that one's on Ralph. I suspect it came down to a coin flip on which position to take, and Ralph probably said something like "you can never have too many good RBs"... I actually think it was more like, "I want the !@#$ing RB."

I suspect it came down to a coin flip on which position to take, and Ralph probably said something like "you can never have too many good RBs"... Or more than likely, Ralph probably said something like "you can never have too many good RBs. How about that kid with the funny O name from Southern Cal? We really haven't had a good runner since Cookie burnt out"...
BillsVet Posted April 21, 2009 Author Posted April 21, 2009 So, by your own list... 2002 2 guys 2004 1 2005 3 2006 1 2007 1 Not exactly different than any other front office. Get the griddle out, Andy... What's your point here? Perhaps it's more important to draft lineman and hit rather than LB's, RB's and DB's and get winners. Because the proof is obvious: Reid wins games and he's not going anywhere. We'll just have to wait and see when September rolls around.

Getting a player or two from each draft class isn't that amazing an accomplishment, IMO. And getting 'close but no cigar' on the ultimate prize isn't that special as well, in the grand scheme of things. It only looks good in Buffalo, I suppose. Reid's tightrope gets narrower each season, as McNabb's hair gets thinner...
Sisyphean Bills Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Ralph did want to draft Flutie instead of Bruce Smith.
The Rev.Mattb74 ESQ. Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Ralph did want to draft Flutie instead of Bruce Smith. This is true, but I believe if memory serves me he also wanted Cutler instead of Whitner.
Sisyphean Bills Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 This is true, but I believe if memory serves me he also wanted Cutler instead of Whitner. Tom Modrak wanted Cutler.
