Heard this second-hand, but I have no reason to doubt its accuracy. So, Marv-bashers, STFU.

That's in part because the Bills fugged up his draft by trading up to take McCargo, who by all accounts the Giants wanted at #32 after they traded down. Again, THAT'S THE RISK OF TRADING DOWN. Don't blame Marv for playing it safe in his first stint as a GM on draft day - he got the players he wanted, Accorsi didn't.

He will take Aiken's spot.

I like how that chick is mouthing, "You lose!" just in case that Flyer can't read. Gotta love Buffalo girls.

This article merely implies it, but I've heard it from a few different places (and remember thinking at the time when they traded down) that they were hoping to land McCargo at #32 to replace Clancy. Makes sense, they have a huge need at DT, and there was a clear dropoff at the position after McCargo went. Also is a good lesson about the risk of trading down - Levy and Co. are being blasted in the national media for staying at #8 to take the guy they wanted - look what happened to the Giants, who gambled and then panicked by taking Eric Flowers the Second (they partially made up for it by getting Sinorice Moss though).

Interesting - also says Whitner visited the Dolphins twice...

I don't know where to find those things, but if you can track down video clips/highlight reels of the Bills' draftees, please post 'em!

Today's cover-2, you need two safeties who can RUN. Very important. Now we got 'em.

Especially safeties who can run. (Bye, Coy.)

I find it hilarious that, had the Bills picked Winston Justice at #8 (or even had they traded down a few spots and taken him at 13-14), all of the "pundits" would be talking about how great a pick it was. Just shows that the draft is totally subjective, and the so-called "experts" have no clue what they're talking about half the time.

This is the coolest thread of the weekend, hands-down!

Someone was gonna take him. Possibly the Jets or Giants.

Fug Mort.

Welcome to the world of the Buffalo Bills earliest, most important draft picks.
Backs are going to be charging into this poor little guy with a 20 yard head of steam. And as we speak, the defense is probably ahead of the offense by leaps and bounds.
What a mess; what a friggin shame.
Yeah they ran right over Winfield.
Come on Bill, you're better than that. This kid can play right away, give me heart and production over hype and potential any day.

He is a better tackler than Huff, and a better leader. He's also from O-State, and those players tend to transition better to the NFL than Texas players (we learned this the hard way).
-
The only way this pick makes sense is if they had Whitner rated way higher than anybody else left in the draft and didn't want to risk losing him in a trade down. Otherwise they could have moved down and if Whitner isn't there you draft one of the other guys you have similarly rated.
And that HAS to be what happened. I can live with it.

Exactly, the Bills drafted a FOOTBALL PLAYER. The kid will start right away, and he'll make plays. He's smart, tough and athletic. He plays every down on D and can play special teams. It doesn't matter as much in the end where they took him, the important thing is that they got someone who will make an instant impact. It's a safe choice, a solid choice, if not a value choice.

THE BILLS GOT A FOOTBALL PLAYER.
Don't know if we could've said that about Bunkley, Ngata, Cutler, Leinart, or anyone else at that spot except maybe Ernie Sims.
I'll say it again. THIS KID IS A FOOTBALL PLAYER. He'll be all over the field next year making plays, and he'll play above his ability, like he's always done. Fug it. I was pissed they took him at the 8 spot, but this team needs football players NOW. I'll take this pick.
