When you review our drafts from 1999 to present day, it's alarming to realize what our success ratio is. The players that are still on the current roster is mostly back-ups. Donahoe may have been a wheeler and dealer come draft day but he didn't have the greatest eye for selecting quality starters. I only count six, that's right SIX!, players that have been true starters for us up to this point. That's in SEVEN drafts! Here's a look back at these drafts.
1999-9 picks-0 players remaining from this draft. We had an additional 4th and 7th rd picks.
2000-8 picks-0 players remaining, additional 7th rd pick.
2001-12 picks-2 remaining players. 1st rd pick #21 overall CB Nate Clements and 2nd rd pick #46 DE Aaron Schobel. We had additional picks of 2nd rd, 3rd rd, two 6th rd, a 7th rd.
2002-10 picks-4 remaining players. 2nd rd pick #36 WR Jake Reed, 2nd rd pick #61 DE Ryan Denney, 3rd rd pick #97 SS Coy Wire, and 6th rd pick #187 CB Kevin Thomas. We had additional pick in the 2nd rd and three in the 7th rd. We did not have a 4th rd pick in this draft.
2003-8 picks-7 remaining players. 1st rd pick #23 RB Willis McGahee, 2nd rd pick #48 DE Chris Kelsay, 3rd rd pick #94 LB Angelo Crowell, 4th rd pick #111 CB Terrence McGee, 4th rd pick #127 WR Sam Aiken, 6th rd pick #187 DT Lauvele Sape and 7th rd pick #228 LB Mario Haggen. The only pick who is no longer on the roster is OG Ben Sobieski. The last time I heard he was on San Fran's practice squad. We had an additional 4th rd pick in this draft.
2004-6 picks-6 remaining players. 1st rd pick #13 WR Lee Evans, 1st rd pick #22 QB JP Losman, 3rd rd pick #74 DT Tim Anderson, 4th rd pick #109 TE Tim Euhus, 7th rd pick #207 OT Dylan McFarland, and 7th rd pick #214 WR Jonathan Smith. We had an additional pick in the 1st rd and 7th rd. We also had no picks in the 2nd rd, 5th rd or in the 6th rd.
2005-6 picks-6 remaining players. 2nd rd pick #55 WR Roscoe Parrish, 3rd rd pick #86 TE Kevin Everett, 4th rd pick #122 OL Raymond Preston, 5th rd pick #156 CB Eric King, 6th rd pick #197 OL Justin Geisinger, and 7th rd pick #236 RB Lionel Gates. We had no 1st rd pick in this draft due to us trading it to Dallas for JP Losman.
How disturbing is this? This is where we need Marv & Co. to really make a difference. If they can do a better job of drafting players who not only will be starters but to also be able to hang on to them. I don't know what the current status of our scouts are but I do remember that Donahoe replaced alot, if not all, of our longstanding senior scouts. Scouts who were with us for years with a proven track record. Hopefully Marv went back and retained some of them. We do have a pretty good nucleus built right now. We have pretty good depth in some positions but what we are really lacking is STARTERS in some key positions. If Marv can utilize this draft with the quality of picks that we have with some frontline ready players, then we could possibly have not only a huge but also a rapid turn around in our upcoming season(s).
I'm not sure if you are trying to place the blame for the 1999 & 2000 drafts on TD, but I'm pretty sure he didn't come aboard until 2001.

Anyone else think that the photographer should find a new line of work. Way to center your subjects!
Then again on second thought, considering the people he is photographing, I could see how he could get distracted.

Because you have hundreds of businesses in Toronto that could afford suites(unlike in Buffalo) no matter what the owner would charge and invidiuals who would pony up for inflated ticket prices and PSL's on top of that.
This would assume that Toronto build a football stadium that holds more than the skydome.

PoliticsNY.NETIf not redo Johnny B Wiley Stadium for the Bisons.
I know this website is better used as a dart board - but the guy makes some sense here....
Where is Johnny B Wiley stadium?
-
If the Bills ever leave WNY(and this includes a move to Toronto...screw them), I would lose my loyalty to them just like when the Braves left. If I had to pick a new team to declare my own, it would probably be Cleveland because of the close proximity to Buffalo.
Regardless...I would still be a huge NFL fan.

Gentlemen
It seems that the form of my texts have suppressed the content. (If we can even make such a dichotomy - perhaps i have erred here gentlemen?) What appears to have captured the imagination of the proles is my explosion into this paradigm by way of an incendiary style. My syntax overwhelms interlocutors such as Mr. Tolstoy and Mr. Crap Throwing Monkey.
Attention Mr. Tolstoy: you are looking for conjunctions where there are no conjunctions. There are only disjunctions within this text. Mr. Jauron's occupation was referenced the Fuehrer position alongside Levy qua Heidegger as a "vague sally of wit"...but i am demeaning myself by responding to your absurd deconstructions. If you are lost in my theoretical matrix so be it.
Mr. Crap Throwing Monkey: Sir i am a trained hermeneut, and when you suggested a "means of interpretation" you annihilated your own f*cking proposition. I recommend you return to discussing Mr. Fewell's organic garden.
Gentlemen, welcome to the Lacanian Real: this is the Real of the king of field sports.
Attention all charlatan Ultra hooligans: if you wish a shiv to be placed between your short ribs, i shall gladly oblige, and make your Sein-zu-Tod a more direct, lucid and upfront possibility.
Again we implore: Let us return to the primoridality of Bills chat.
I like how in the middle of all the "I'm smarter than you are" words, he throws in "f*cking".

Bottom 3...Bucky, Mandisa & Ace. In a surprise move, Ace goes home. He is a one trick pony. The same syrupy sweet ballads can only take you so far.

but but but but.....he's a fine young man who was a college LB who was switched to safety in the NFL. Maybe he's a late bloomer.

The guy was unhappy as a Bill and it was time to part ways. The 5th rounder is better than nothing. If the Eagles wanted Moulds, they had the chance to pony up a 4th rounder and obviously didn't want to.
Somebody remind me again what the Eagles got for TO?

-People(usually women) who don't know how to negotiate a 4 way stop. If you get to the stop sign before me, you go first. You don't sit there, refuse to go, and instead wave me through.
-Stupid ass employees working the drive-thru window at any fast food joint. Double check my order before you hand it to me.
-People who try to get on an elevator before letting people get off.
-Getting rid of pop machines that dispense 12 oz. cans and replacing them with machines that dispense 20 oz. bottles.
-People who start threads with misleading or non-descript thread titles.
-People who don't know the difference between resign and re-sign.

One thing I also noticed for the first time. It only took 5 minutes from when the thread was started before it turned "ugly"
with this response...Are you missing a chromosome or do you just continually want attention?

Instead of posting the same thing that has already been stated 1000 times, unplug your keyboard, grab a six pack of beer, sit back and just read for a while...

For those who think the Bills would be robbed if they ONLY got a fifth rounder, remind me what Philly just got for Owens who is vastly superior to Moulds a WR?

Great thread title. Can I suggest your next one begin with just one letter.
PLEASE READ: We need to organize and strategize
