How can anyone look at the Bills drafting history and not understand Ralph Wilson's influence on the first round?
3 different regimes in nine years all have one thing in common, a first round pick on a RB.
Anyone taking over the Bills organization could see the absolute last need for the team was RB, which smart organizations will tell you is probably the last position you worry about filling anyway. Yet we take Spiller because??
Take a look at out 1st round picks; McKelvin, Maybin, Lynch, Spiller, Whitner, Evans... there all speed guys, Al Davis gets whacked in the media for his love of speed yet the Bills year after year ignore the fact our lines on both sides of the ball are paper thin and draft some flighty little sprite. Can all the regimes who have run Bills drafts be this stupid?
Anyone remember Ralph forcing Dwayne Wright on us?
Anyone wonder why regardless of who is in the front office, Mike Mayock will tell you the morning of the draft who the Bills are taking? Whitner called, Maybin called, Spiller called, becasue he has a pipeline to Mr.Wilson as long as he breasts his cards unitl the morning of the NFL draft.
The Bills front office rushed up to the podium because they had no say in the matter, their draft doesn't begin until the Bills second pick
