  1. Yeah I saw that coming as soon as I posted it. Ooops!!!! =) But personally, I don't think you can get excited about one thing same as I'm willing to admit that writing him off this early would be foolish. What I really wanted to see from him was some level of consistency whether it be accurate passing or consistently improving decision-making skills. I really feel like he hasn't progressed.

     

    As for the second part. I stand by my comment. You cannot possibly look at a draft when we have multiple positions of need and say there is only one player that would come in and really help us.

  2. They clearly gave Holcomb better play calls and game plans.

    Yes that's it. Losman's incompletions MUSt have been because the coaches made him throw the ball wrong. What the heck are you talking about. You get a play you execute it. you can blame coaches for poor gameplans, but don't try and say "well they were good for this guy, but they stunk for this other one" that's simply foolish.

  3. UM's coach said Everett had more raw physical talent than ANY TE he had at Miami. That said, raw talent doesnt translate into being a great player. I think he could be a really good TE. Drafting a TE when we have many other needs is foolish though (in my opinion, not insulting anyone). How is he gonna ever catch a pass if our qbs get sacked before they get to their 3rd step?

  4. You mean Houston does not need the best Pass Rusher in the Draft.  You really think they are going to pass on a kid that is projected to be a player like J. Peppers??

     

    What part of the football world do you come from if you don't think this is a possiblitiy  6 '7" 295 and runs a 4.65 and is productive as a pass rusher and a top five pick!

     

    Think before you post

    UMMM, I do. If they dont take Bush or trade, Houston would be better served taking Brick. Their O-line sucks and they just extended Carr. Maybe someone should take their own advice.

  6. Obviously the Bills need to evaluate all their options this draft, including taking a QB with their first pick, trading down, trading up, or staying put. It's important to look at the situation objectively, without allowing team needs to influence how you evaluate any given player's chances of success in the NFL.

     

    To prepare for the future, it's best to learn from the past. Back in 2000, the Bills chose not to trade up for Pennington. The Bills thought they had their QB of the future on board with Rob Johnson, and anyway their needs were on defense. Erik Flowers was taken in the first, Tavares Tillman in the second, and Corey Moore in the third.

     

    Taking Rivers when they already had Brees hurt the Chargers a lot less than the Bills' failure to take Pennington hurt the Bills. Had we taken Pennington, we could have saved ourselves the first rounder traded for Drew, the first, second, and fifth rounders used on Losman. Barring injury, the Bills would have a proven QB right now, instead of still being unsure if the QB problem has been solved.

     

    What lessons can we learn from this?

    1. Don't reach for a player simply because he fills a need.

    2. Don't make too many assumptions about what you don't need until a player proves himself.

    3. If a player stands out from his peers on your boards, do what you can to take him.

     

    I'd also like to throw in another random piece of advice: if the draft is deep at a given position, it's usually a good idea to take advantage of that position. Eric Moulds was drafted in a year known for its receivers. The same could be said of Andre Reed. Plenty of QBs were drafted in the first round when Jim Kelly was taken. This year is going to be deep along the offensive line. If the Bills don't draft at least two OL, it's a lot more likely this draft will be a failure.

    I agree with basically everything in this post. BTW, I like Young but his wunderlic score gave me much pause. Also, is there a reason everyone loves Brick SO much. Im asking genuinely, not to start a fight. Obviously he is good, but what are the things he did in college that make everyone here want him so bad?
