Buffalo 66 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I think this was the best draft ever, in any sport! Bill Polian has a nose for great talent. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzWn7NK3U_E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennesseeboy Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 You have to give last year's draft a chance to work out. Maybin may be better than Bruce in the long run! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lets_go_bills Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 This just pisses me off because of what happened resulting in us losing Bill Polian. He knows football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo 66 Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 If Ralph had his say. Bruce Smith would have never been a Bill and they would have never made it to one Super Bowl, Funny how one draft can change an organization so much.

PaattMaann Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Two hall of fame players in one draft, HALL OF FAME PLAYERS not pro bowl players HALL OF FAME LMOA!!! Show me a better daft!! if I do some research -when im outta work today- im sure that I can come across another teams draft where they drafted two HOF players...im even thinkin the cowboys had a couple in same draft around same time we did...not to mention. Also, two hall of famers and a bunch of trash...is that really better than a draft that nets 4 or 5 pro bowlers? 5 great players rather than just 2? im sure there are plenty of drafts..like I said, ill do that research when im done here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Hall of Fame players! Plus Riech who won many keys games for us in the glory years. Other Players of note: Derrick Burroughs was developing into a very good corner until he got injured. He was better than Kirby Jackson and would have been an excellent tandem with Odomes. Hal Garner was an excellent special teams player and a good backup LB. Better than what we have today. Chris Burkett was a good reciever. He did not get along with Jim Kelly and was shipped out. He had a very good career for the Jets after that.
