CountDorkula Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 This is a nightmare of a draft... I'm glad I won't be in front of a TV on draft day because I might put something through it if this were to happen... This is why when i am watching when pick 8 comes im moving all the beer, remotes, couch pillows, pretty much everything away from me, just incase some crazy ish goes down. This way i have nothing to throw at the TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonidas Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 They will this season without a gate attraction. TO did more for the fan base than many want to realize. I don't know Wes Bunting from the man on the moon, but it's funny when someone makes a fair point and then becomes the collective target of many on TBD. Sure it seems odd that Buffalo takes Tebow 9th, but stranger things have happened. Besides, a mock is nothing more than an educated guess of many teams looking at many players in a frenzied first few rounds. For the record, there are plenty of scouts who didn't play football, heck, Bill Polian started in the late 70s as a scout with KC. Some have a talent for spotting talent without even having played, but on TBD they can't possibly have an opinion. This is the most predictable form of argument suppression, and it's in play once again. Maybe the writer would have gotten more respect if he had addressed the top two needs (LT, NT) of the team in the top two picks. Or maybe if he had shown a shred of knowledge about the team. Maybe you would get more respect if you knew what you were talking about too... http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/9...pg2.html?cat=14 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/preview08/co...tory?id=3549100 http://www.top10source.com/the-10-most-loy...in-the-nfl.html Tebow at 9 is ludicrous. And the thought that he would put that many fans in the seats in Buffalo (this isn't Jacksonville where he's deified) is equally insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acantha Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Thanks for the post. I gotta get me a job like these draft gurus. His credentials.... About Wes Bunting Wes Bunting, the National Football Post’s director of college scouting, has been monitoring the college football scene since 2002. He completed a football GM and scouting course from Sports Management Worldwide, studying under Marc Trestman and Russ Lande, and has published scouting reports for NFLSmackdown.com, Scout.com and NFLDraftscout.com. He’s a member of the Football Writers Association of America. I'm thinking with wireless internet, a TV, a few beers, and some time to kill, I can prepare a mock draft as well as this guy. And if you only have to get about 25% of the picks right to rank up there with the "big boys" like Kiper, McShay, Prisco, etc. I can probably have a couple of extra beers and still be in that ballpark. And for $1,450, you can too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, a mock is nothing more than an educated guess of many teams looking at many players in a frenzied first few rounds. Last year Tyson Jackson and Derius Heyward-Bey were mid to late 1st round picks in everyone's mock drafts until suddenly they were both top ten picks everywhere. Just watch, Tebow is going to start creeping up in all these mock drafts and the idea of Tebow at 9 won't be so shocking anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfaninSixburgh Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 And for $1,450, you can too! I'm thinking for $14.50 I can get quite a few beers, save a few bucks, and still pick as well as most of these guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfish Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 No one had even heard of DHB before Oakland took him. Most mocks had Oakland taking Crabtree last year until about 2-3 weeks out from the draft but then many mocks started slotting DHB in his place.

26CornerBlitz Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 why?They need help at both postions and as far as I know, they still get to pick other players, make trades and sign free agents to fill other areas of need. 1) Because Tebow is a project QB that is not NFL ready and would be a major reach in the 1st round. 2) Most college WRs are not ready to make an immediate impact in their 1st year. We already have Hardy and Johnson as young WRs. 3) This draft is rich in good OL/DL talent that can fill priority needs and have a faster impact. The FO should make sure to take advantage. I could go on, but the above are reason enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
