And this pick gives you confidence that they'll get the rest of the draft right?

It doesn't matter how good the guy will be, he wasn't a value pick. The Bills could have moved down to the 15 spot, picked up a 3rd (hell, or even a lousy 4th!) and STILL gotten him, at a cheaper price tag too. This pick is bad on so many levels that have nothing to do with how succeful the player will be.

My favorite part of the pick is that it only fills a hole that Marv created. Milloy struggled last year sure but not so much that the Bills needed to cut him and select a SS in the top 10. Does anybody think this kid is going to step in and be better than Milloy would have been healthy this year? I'm not a big Milloy fan but a lot of his problems last year have to be attributed to him playing injured.

They could have traded all the way down to 15 and still gotten him. I don't care if they only get a 4th to do so, at least that's SOMETHING. Unbelievable.

Everybody wondered which 5'10" player the Bills would take...now we know.

At least the fans on internet message boards aren't "unconsistant" in their ignorance.

I won't gauarantee anything, but if I had to put money on it I'd say Young will be a Titan.

No doubt. Talk about a sink or swim pick. He'll either be really good or out of the league in 5 years. My money is on the latter.

Dunn is a good runner between the tackles, despite his size. I'm not saying Bush wil be a bust, once he learns how to put his head down and get tough yards he'll be a very good RB. But I think he'll struggle in his first few seasons until he figures out he can't just get by on his natural athletic ability like he could before. As you said though, I don't think he's worth the #1 pick.

I don't think they'll regret this at all. Williams will be a better player than Bush and it fills a position of need. I might be the only guy on the planet that thinks Bush is going to struggle as a RB in the NFL. I've yet to see him run effectively between the tackles and his typical run-toward-the-sideline-on-every-single-play style won't work nearly as well in the NFL. He'll be effective if teams use him out of the backfield in the passing game but I don't see how one can justify using the first pick on a guy that's going to see, maybe, 15 touches a game.

You actually think he noticed Reyes' play last year and that's why he doesn't think he should start? I doubt he'd even heard of Reyes before the Bills brought him in a few weeks ago. I doubt anybody here can really speak to how good or bad he is...all most of us know is that he CAN'T be worse than Benny.

1. Houston: Reggie Bush, RB, USC 2. New Orleans: Mario Williams, DE, NC State 3. Tennessee: Vince Young, QB, Texas 4. NY Jets: Matt Leinart, QB, USC 5. Green Bay: Vernon Davis, TE, Maryland

There's not a sure thing, so given that I'm of the opinion you pick up the most picks possible. The more picks you have the more likely you are to have multiple players pan out, particularly in a deep draft, which this is.

You make me feel lazy. I've lived in NYC for 9 years now and have yet to make it to the draft. One of these days...

I'm confused about the above. If NO selects Leinart with the #2 pick how does Leinart start to slide because the Titans don't pick him?

Going the way of UM? This stuff has gone on forever in most of power schools. UM might have the bad rep but they aren't alone and never were.

Last time I checked there were 2 Safties in the league that one could say make a big enough impact to be chosen in the top 10...and one of them wasn't chosen that high. S is one of the easiest spots to fill with mid-round guys. Unless the Bills staff feels that Huff is one of the select few guys that can be difference makers at the S position he'd be a luxury pick.

Being a UCLA fan I hate USC as much as anybody but what happened to Mike Williams was complete BS.

Ineligible to play in NCAA games is the way I read it. The article said nothing about the draft.

If Drew is sitting there in the 3rd round he'd be a great pick. The guy plays as hard as any RB I've seen in a long time and is a demon catching the ball out of the backfield and working in open space. If Drew could stay healthy (a big if) he'd push Willis and (hopefully) make him better in the process. Willis definitely needs a push, he seemed complacent last year. That being said, I don't think Drew is there in the 3rd. I wouldn't mind seeing the Bills grab Riggs Jr. in the 4th or 5th.

Actually, he'd just move the team to the LA market and increase the vaule of the club significanty by doing so...then he'd sell the club and make a huge profit.

Losman- 74 Holcomb - 75 Mcgahee- 85 Shelton- 79 Evans- 87 Parrish- 72 Price-76 Gandy- 76 Anderson- 65 Fowler- 77 Villarial- 79 Peters- 78 Everett- 73 Royal-76 Schobel- 88 Tripplett- 84 Anderson- 72 Kelsay- 76 Spikes- 96 (if healthy) Fletcher- 89 Posey- 80 McGee- 87 (overall) 98 (as a KR) Clements- 90 Vincent- 80 Bowen- 71 Moorman- 96 Lindell- 82 This years draft class Bush- 88 Lienart - 81 Young - 72 Cutler - 76 Vernon Davis- 84 Ngata- 80 Bunkley- 80 Justice- 79 Huff-85

There was absolutely nothing in that article about him being an out of shape player that doesn't play hard. That being said, I don't want the Bills to take him with the 8th pick, though it has very little to do with Ngata. The draft is very deep at DT and there is no reason to take one with a top 10 pick unless he's clearly superior to every other DT in the draft.

He would be my pick as well and the Bills could probably land him in the 5th.

You think that throw only went for 7 yards in the air? Somebody needs to go back and look at the tape again. That being said the deep ball isn't really the worry when it comes to arm strength, it's the deep out. Pretty much any QB, given time, can throw the ball 40 yards down field but any QB can't thread a needle on a 15-20 yard deep out. Not being able to throw the deep out makes it much easier for defenders as they don't have to really worry about that portion of the field. A QB must be able to use the entire field and from what I've seen Matt Leinart can certainly do that. Leinart's arm isn't an attribute but it's average and average is good enough as long as he's not playing in NYC or Buffalo. Leinart's main attributes are his decision making and his coolness under pressure. I'll take those over arm strength any day of the week.
