And Brandon calls himself a 'marketeer'??? This April, Russ - if you're still around, please heed our advice on draft day. Maybin??? Honestly, Russ, WTF were you thinking?

PromoTheRobot Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Well 20 other teams passed on him too, including 3 other teams who drafted LTs. If it was such a slam-dunk sure thing he would have gone much earlier. You rear-view mirror experts are a hoot. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTR I know hindsight is 20/20, PTR, and that there are plenty of rear-view mirror experts on TSW as well - but there were plenty of us clamoring for the Bills to pick Oher when they were 'on the clock' last April.

Funny thing about the draft, you can't pick every player and you can't pick where you pick. We needed D-line help too. There were just as many draftniks who though Maybin was "can't miss". I find it amazing how this board knew exactly which players were going to be great...now. By the way, how is Oher doing? Is he the top LT in the NFL now or is it that he has a movie that makes him so good? PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, of course he's not the top LT in the league - no one expected that his rookie year, but he's started every game for the Ravens. What's Maybin been up to? I rarely see the guy on Sundays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS, it further pisses me off that we didn't draft Oher He still hasn't shown much as an LT. Wasn't particularly good there. Terrific RT, though.

Is he the top LT in the NFL now or is it that he has a movie that makes him so good? PTR For a robot, you're generally pretty well-informed and level-headed. But there wasn't a single person that I can remember who said Maybin was "can't miss." In fact, he was pretty much labeled as the "hit or miss"/"high risk/high reward" player of the first round, if I recall. I'm still on record for wanting to draft Orakpo at #11. I wasn't crazy about Oher having a learning disability. I love him as a kid and I hope for the best, but I'm not going to pretend this was the guy I wanted at #11.

John Adams Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 How about reading the book instead of seeing the movie? The reason he dropped in the draft is that his college career was good but marked by inconsistent play and a thought that he dogged it sometimes.

John Adams Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 buzz killer.... I had read the book and was desperately hoping the Bills picked him at 11 because he had such a cool high school story--don't get me wrong--but I also knew why he dropped in college. Oher will be at least a very good pro. He's not aggressive on the field (yet?) but he's insanely gifted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
