Didn't say you needed to care, just kind of interesting to see. Looks like Walterfootball is hung up on getting a QB bigtime. Though I must admit I was hoping for Dalton with the 34th pick and the number of DBs they draft every single year is something else.

I am a bit surprised at just how bad they are killing the Bills. I understand some of the criticism but a lot of it also seems a bit over the top. "Buffalo Bills (Last Year: 4-12) - Buy Tickets 2011 NFL Draft Grades: Teams that draft well (i.e. Steelers, Packers, Colts) win Super Bowls. Teams that screw up in the NFL Draft every year never make the playoffs. Buffalo hasn't qualified for the postseason in more than a decade, and if you want to know why, all you have to do is look at how they draft. The Bills screwed up yet again. How the hell did they come away from the 2011 NFL Draft without a quarterback? Ryan Fitzpatrick is not the answer. Every football person outside of Buffalo knows this, yet the Bills stubbornly continue to settle for mediocrity at the most important position in football. Protecting the quarterback and getting to the other quarterback are two things that are also very important to every team in the league outside of Buffalo. No rush linebackers? No offensive lineman until the 122nd pick? And what's with all of these running backs and cornerbacks? I really feel sorry for sensible Buffalo fans who know that their front office is clueless. The Bills are like the fantasy owner in your league who drafts a kicker in the eighth round every single summer. You quietly laugh at them during the draft, and smile when they hand in their league dues because you know they're going to finish 5-8 for the 10th year in a row. Overall 2011 NFL Draft Grade given on 5/1/11: D 2011 NFL Draft Individual Grades: 3. Marcell Dareus, DE/DT This pick is not an A because the Bills need a franchise quarterback and are once again passing up on the opportunity to acquire one. Buffalo will never be a playoff contender until it finds a franchise signal-caller. However, Marcell Dareus is a terrific prospect and should be a fixture on Buffalo's defensive front for years to come. The Bills' stop unit has just improved exponentially. (Pick Grade: B) 34. Aaron Williams, CB/FS, Texas So, Ryan Fitzpatrick is a franchise quarterback, eh? I like Aaron Williams, but he does not fill a need at all. As I've been saying, new regimes mean new rush linebackers, cornerbacks (safeties) and "pass-catchin' runnin' backs" in Buffalo. (Pick Grade: C) 68. Kelvin Sheppard, ILB, LSU I mocked Kelvin Sheppard to the Bills atop the fourth round for a while, so I can certainly understand why they're taking him, albeit a round early. Buffalo had to find an upgrade next to Paul Posluszny. (Pick Grade: B) 100. Da'Norris Searcy, S, North Carolina What are the Bills doing? How many defensive backs do they need? This is a slight reach, so it's not even like Buffalo is getting good value. (Pick Grade: D) 122. Chris Hairston, OT, Clemson This is a decent pick. The Bills had to upgrade their offensive line, and Chris Hairston fits the range as a right tackle in the bottom of the fourth round. (Pick Grade: B) 133. Johnny White, RB, North Carolina Where does Johnny White fit in with Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller entrenched as the team's top running backs? I don't get this pick. It's not like White is an incredible value or anything. (Pick Grade: D) 169. Chris White, ILB, Mississippi State This pick is a slight reach and doesn't fill a need. Some of Buffalo's selections have been head-scratchers. (Pick Grade: D) 206. Justin Rogers, CB, Richmond Another defensive back? I'd like to say I'm surprised, but the Bills draft this way every year. It sucks for their fans. (Pick Grade: C) 245. Michael Jasper, G, Bethel Here's how you know this is a crappy pick: NFL.com lists Michael Jasper as a defensive tackle even though he's really a guard. Oops. (Pick Grade: D)"

I don't get all the Martez Wilson love. He was pretty much a huge bust at Illinois until he had one decent year. Yeah, he has the measurables and is a workout warrior but come on.

This must absolutely be true.

Easily 2.

Aaron Hernandez in round 4. They do this stuff every year and find ways to get tons of picks. They truly toy with just about every other team at draft time.

This is getting VERY frustrating.

This is becoming comical.

Just saw that and was stunned. They are unwilling to part with marshawn?? LOL!!!!

Cam Newton is a better 3-4 NT than the one the Bills took in round 2 though.

Yeah, but it's the 4th round, not first or second. That second round reach still has people shaking their heads. The North Carolina DT, Cam Thomas, is much more suited for the 3-4. Leave it to the Bills to take a guy 2 or 3 rounds earlier than they needed to, though.

There are still some interesting players left (Norwood, Everson Griffen, Mardy Gilyard, Snead..) but I hope to God they end up taking Bruce Campbell if he is still there. He was thought of as a potential top 10 pick going into the draft. Not sure why he has fallen so far but he would still be incredible value in round 4 at a position of dire need. Then in round 5 possibly pick up Jevan Snead or Tony Pike if they are there and try and develop one of them over the course of the next year. Mardy Gilyard is another one I would love to see the Bills nab somehow. Kind of surprised he is still around too. Should be interesting.

Good one. And yeah, 1st round picks are supposed to be can't miss players. Especially where the Bills usually pick in round 1. It is bust after bust, however, and it gets pretty old.

And the Bills lose way more than they win. Maybin over Orakpo was a joke.

Go ahead and jump on me. But you really think he was the best the Bills could do?? And I never said anything about his appearance either.
