I recall the 2003 NFL Draft. The Buffalo Bills were in need of a Defensive End who could rush the passer. The Bills were drafting in the 20's that year. Not because they were good the prior year but had traded their first away and then re-gained a first by trading Peerless Price to the Falcons.
Edge rushers kept going off the board and by the time the Bills came up the cupboard was bare. Suggs, Ty Warren and Calvin Pace had gone off the Board as well as one Jeramie McDougal and the apple of Bills' fan's eye, Michael Haynes of Penn State.
The Bills with Tom Donahoe as GM drafted Willis Mcgahee, which was ok. Then they drafted for need, however, in the second at the 48th pick took lunch-pail favorite Chris Kelsay. Kelsay's career was the epitome of pedestrian. He made Shaq Lawson seem like a phenom.
I guess I see a lesson that don't overdraft for need at that position. Chris Kelsay's are prevalent and 54 should be a little better than pedestrian, I do really hope.
If they believe in a DE there, fine, but don't reach for need. CB, RB and OT Best player there.
Devin didn't start week one?
