Canadian Bills Fan Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Maybin- could of had Oher or Okrapo or Cushing or HarvinWhitner- could of had Ngata Hardy- could of had Ray Rice or DeSean Jackson McCargo- could of had DeAngelo or Mangold or Jones Drew or Cromartie Youboty- could of had Brandon Marshall or Owen Daniels or Jahri Evans or Elvis or Leon Washington !@#$ing Bledsoe- could of had Aaron Rogers Roscoe- could of had Frank Gore or Justin Tuck or Marion Barber Tim Anderson- could of had Matt Schaub or Chris Cooley Euhus- could of had Jerome Allen Dylan Mcfarland- could of had Wes Walker Mcgahee could of had Dallas Clark or Asomugha Kelsay- could of had Boldin or Osi or Briggs or Witten Williams- could of had Haynesworth or Ed Reed or John Henderson or Dwight Freeney or Javon Walker !@#$ING MINDBLOWING THAT WE COULD !@#$ THIS PICK UP! Josh Reed- could of had LeCharles Bentley Coy Wire- could of had David Garrard Justin Bannon- could of had Aaron Kampman Mike Pucillo- could of had James Harrison or Bart Scott We have not had a solid draft since 2001 IMO. Last years draft was good- but we blew the Maybin pick. No **** you can do this with every draft. But my point is there was talent on the boards when we selected. We just chose to pick inferior players. No wonder we have sucked for so long! Although this is depressing it's not all the players fault. If we drafted DeSean Jackson, would he be as good as he is in Philly? probably not. Ed Reed was drafted in the 20th pick range. If he drafted him I'm sure everyone would have been against it. Bottom line, the Bills have a rep for not building a solid team around impact players. I honestly think that if half those players was a Buffalo Bill, things might have turned out differently. I do agree with the fact that Modrak sucks at drafting but how much of it was his call remains to be seen. Maybe he will get it right this time with Dick and John gone. God I hope so.

RyanC882 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 The guy held out like he had something to offer day 1. Bills fans are still waiting... Yep, that's what you get for drafting a one year wonder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 The guy has to accomplish something before he's allowed to have a good time? Give the guy a break....he's played one whole season, after missing most of training camp. People are ready to drive him out of town after one year with a guy that most people knew would be a project. The guy held out like he had something to offer day 1. Bills fans are still waiting... I think there are very few people here who wouldn't hold out on signing a contract if it meant getting another million bucks. I hate it and respect the guys who like to get into camp on time but I think a lot of people would take his route. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC882 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Whitner = bustHardy = bust Maybin = bust Lynch = pretty much a bust yet Modrak drafts once again for the bust-ridden Buffalo Bills They need to get rid of this guy immediately after this draft. In fact, I don't even buy the argument we need to keep him around for this draft. Keep all the scouts and let Nix draft, and get a new head college scout for next year. Hopefully the new assistant GM, who is from the Steelers (who draft VERY WELL), will have a large role in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lets_go_bills Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Did I miss something? He is a perennial Pro Bowler? Dude has done nothing but twitter about his partying this week. May want to accomplish something first. If you were a 21 year old millionaire with time off from your job, you'd be partying too. I know I would.

Pete Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Nice list but do that for every other team in the NFL and i bet you will find similar results. San Diego- 2008 Antoine Cason- good value pick no second or third round picks 2007 Craig Davis no second or third round picks- weak draft class 2006 Cromartie- Probowler McNeil- Probowler Whitehurst- backup QB no 4th round pick 2005 Shawn Merriman-probowler Luis Castillo Vincent Jackson-probowler Darren Sproles 2004 Eli Manning- traded for Philip Rivers and draft picks that ended up being Nate Kaeding and Shawn Merriman. A+ San Diego Olshansky Nick Hardwick-probowler Shawn Phillips Michael Turner-probowler 2003 Drayton Florence Mike Scifries probowler Hanik Milligan probowler Antonio Gates probowler Kris Dielman probowler 2001 Tomlinson-probowler Brees-probowler Compare this list to the chumps we have drafted. San Diego traded so many high picks away-- and still blows away our past 10 drafts. We draft tomato cans, they draft probowlers. That is why Chargers are tough, and we have not made the playoffs in a decade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffaloed in Pa Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 He`s always at state partying his arse off. My son and his friends see this fool all the time. He`s up on stage with the DJ ,no not Dick J. Sometimes he `s one of the bouncers. He likes to be the big show among these college kids. They just laugh about him. Pretty much think he`s a fool with alot of money. I myself think of him with that stupid pass rush swinging his arms in circles and his head going all over the place. Thanks Dick great pick.

C.Biscuit97 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Reason #1 I'd never have a Twitter if I was an athlete: so morons on an internet board can completely overreact to everything I say. He's 21 and not an all pro yet. But he's out partying and havign a good time during Super Bowl week? The nerve of that guy. Let's string the bastard up. Instead of complaining about someone's else lives, maybe some of you should get your own first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Unfortunately the evidence seems to point to Maybin being another Whitner - a legend in his own mind, all mouth and no game. As a CEO of a company once told me about an employee---they are "too impressed with their own talents", meaning they thought way higher of themself than anyone else did...

seadog Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 You don't draft "projects" that have one good year in college in the first round. Unless your the Bills. It does'nt take a rocket scientest to see that 225 DE ( maybe less) is'nt going to cut it against a 350lb. LT. Granted he's a rookie who held out of camp (by his own choice), but I just don't see his future in the league unless he can make the switch to OLB. Wish him the best and really hope he proves me wrong becuase he's eating up salary space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estro Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Whitner is hardly a bust. He is an average NFL player at this point who is very versatile. You could argue that he was not worth his draft position. Hardy cannot be called a bust. Recievers take a year or two to develop in a good offense. The guy tore his ACL his rookie year and barely saw the field this year. Combine that with our anemic passing game, its no wonder he has done nothing to this point. But he is hardly a bust at this point. (although could end up being one.) Maybin was a project when we drafted him. He has done nothing but still has potential. Lynch is not a bust either. Sorry, I think you are off base or premature on all of your points. McCargo - Now THERE is a bust. Whitner is not versatile nor VERY versatile. Yes, he has played multiple postions (free safety, strong safety, cornerback and nickel cornerback) and the reason is he was being outplayed by backups at each of his positions so the Bills moved him to try and keep him on the field. He hasn't been good at any of the positions, actually he's been average to below average at most spots the Bills have put him. At strong safety he was outplayed by Bryan Scott and George Wilson. At free safety he was outplayed by George Wilson and Jarius Byrd. When the Bills slid him into nickel corner when our CB's were banged up he was absolutely lit up and exposed during the Jets game in Toronto. Maybin has potential, but any realistic fan at this point is very justified in having serious doubts about whether the guy can live up to being a high 1st round pick. You can't hit on all of them, but you like to at least see your high draft picks make solid contributions within 2 years. I'm willing to give him another year beore I declare Maybin a bust, but he's got to show a LOT MORE this season. Watching Maybin during drills at the combine last year had me very nervous. Very stiff and not fluid in his movements at all. I've seen girls catch the football much more fluidly and athletically than Maybin. I'm not saying catching the football is a priority for a DE/OLB, but it's concerning to see a #1 draft pick catch the football worse than my girlfriend. Personally I was pulling for Robert Ayers last draft. I'm not sure how Ayers played last season, to be honest, but that's who I was rooting for. If not Ayers I wanted Orakpo over Maybin, Maybin to me was the riskiest of all the 1st round DL. I hope he proves all his doubters wrong. Time will tell.

Packerland Bills Fan Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 The size of Maybin's contract is going to give him plenty of opportunities to prove himself. He's not going anywhere else any time soon. He made two mistakes. The first was leaving school with two years of eligibility left. He clearly wasn't ready yet. The second was his choice of agents. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that you take last year's contracts around pick 11 then add a percentage typical of year by year increases from the past to find out what a fair deal will be. His agent was far too passive waiting to see if Michael Crabtree was going to get something over slot in order to gain a little more leverage. Maybin badly needed a full training camp and it cost him. Maybin's work habits and athletic ability make me more inclined to bet for rather than against him.

timstep Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 As a 4-3 end, he's been useless. IF, and it's a big if, he can play OLB in a 3-4, he's going to have to do more than just rush the passer, he's going to have to drop into coverage, and there is no evidence to suggest he can do that. Basically, he's turned into Matt Jones - a high draft pick who is a project. Question is, if Maybin flames out and never does anything, is he the biggest bust in the history of the franchise based on how high the pick was (11th)? Some might bring up Mike Williams (4th overall in '02), but Williams did actually start for a number of season. Worse than Tony Hunter (12th in '83) or Perry Tuttle (19th in '82)? Erik Flowers was a total bust, but he went late (26th in '00). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uforesircher Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 this dude is such a bust a bust that was playing out of position - he is not a de - when we employ him properly this year as an olb then we can better make a decision if he can play or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
