    Funny! I said this same thing to my friend on the first night of the draft.

    I like it - productive back to compete for a spot. I think this shows that they are still picking their highest rated player as RB was not a big need. They probably learned for the need for depth last season when at some points they were playing RBs who had just been signed.

    I argued against picking Jones in the first 3 rounds, but with essentially a top of the fifth round pick I am happy to get him.
  4. OldTimer1960
    Not A lot there that would last 2/3 of the way through the round.

    The only difference between the Pats and Bills in terms of QB drafting is the Pats' blind luck pick of Brady in round 6. Beyond Brady, what QB that NE has picked would you love to have?
  6. OldTimer1960
    Cardale Jones is still available after 3 full rounds plus compensatory picks. Same is true for Connor Cook. Those damn NFL talent evaluators could not see how great these two are...

    I have to say that I am not at all surprised that round 3 is complete without Connor Cook or Cardale Jones having been selected. Cook lacks accuracy and has at least questionable leadership skills and Jones has started only 10 games on an uber-talented team.

    +1000 Who were the "must draft Cook" fanatics?
  10. OldTimer1960
    Maybe. I actually prefer Adolphus Washington as a much more proven player.
  11. OldTimer1960
    So? 23 career catches...

    I am a little critical usually, but I am pretty happy with Bills' selections. Have addressed big defensive needs with each pick - love Lawson pick, happy with Ragland pick and happy with Washington pick in r3.

    Nice! A capable interior pass rusher with the size to eventually become a good run defender. Pretty athletic for his size.

    I just don't think he was that responsible for those wins. Ohio State won a lot of game without him playing at all.
  15. OldTimer1960
    As it fell, the Bills would have had a shot to pick Jarran Reed and I would have been happy with that, but I have zero problem with trading two 4ths to ensure they got who they wanted. Pickings got pretty slim by pick 49

    You certainly implied it. Lots of QBs on ultra talented teams had good records - those 10 wins don't mean much in terms of evaluating Jones as a NFL prospect.
  17. OldTimer1960
    Didn't those 5 teammates that were picked in round 1 and Michael Thomas (r2) and soon-to-be-picked Braxton Miller and Von Bell have anything to do with those 10 wins?
  18. OldTimer1960
    Who says it isn't a premium position? I suffered through a lot of years watching horrible Bills defenses get trucked up the middle over and over again. If you can't stop the run, especially between the tackles you are in for many long days.

    Wouldn't be a fan of Cardale Jones in round 3. Physical ability is not the most important factor in QB success in the NFL. Some of the greats haven't had great arms, size and speed. Brees, Manning, Brady, Montana, etc.
  20. OldTimer1960
    2 4ths is not that much. We get caught up in the draft and think that there are plenty of starting caliber players in round 4 - it isn't really so. Go back and look at the 4th round picks for several years - you will find a few good players and a lot of nobodies.
  21. OldTimer1960
    Like it - not love it, but a good player
  22. OldTimer1960
    So, who did they move up to get?
  23. OldTimer1960
    Not falling as well for Bills tonight as last night did. I was hoping that they might get Chris Jones. Hope there not a big run on remaining DL.
  24. OldTimer1960
    If Myles Jack really needs microfracture surgery, I'll be surprised if he goes in the 2nd.
  25. OldTimer1960
    Cook has some talent and I wouldn't be horribly disappointed if they take him, but I think several defenders will be available that are much more likely to pan out than Cook. I know that some see greatness, but I see a guy with good size and a good arm that isn't accurate enough for the NFL. Maybe I am wrong - I will sure hope so if they pick him.
