When we traded him, I think we used one of the picks from the Browns to get Jim Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobChalmers Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Best pick with no #1-- Mr NFL, Sam Cowart Was this just a hook to get some sucker like me to remind you of Thurman Thomas or did you really forget him? Sam was really good - real pity about his knee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kept him off, becuase he did play and he was injured. " He was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome shortly after being drafted."

profile Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I would not call JP Losman a bust. I think the definition of bust is a highly publisized, top tier talent from college, with high expectations to succeed in the NFL, and JP, while talented to a point, should never have been drafted in anything higher than the 3rd or 4th round. Really if you think about it, we forced him to be considered a bust since we drafted him that high, and it was no surprise to anyone outside of WNY that he wasn't going to make it. If we didn't draft him at all, I wonder where he would have been selected, and by whom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach55 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Not a first rounder - but how about Bucky Brooks - pick 48 in 1994 - could be worst 2nd rounder of all time Can someone tell me who the heck these 2 guys were? 1985 - #29 G Mark Traynowicz 1984 - #41 WR Eric Richardson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we didn't draft him at all, I wonder where he would have been selected, and by whom? JP was a bust. If you draft a player high and he fails, he's a bust. And, by the way, every mag I saw, had JP rated as a 1st rounder. Great guy, but, sadly, for all of us, a bust. I blame Donahoe for not trading up (with Jax, it woulda been easy) for jagermiesterberger... Go Bills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldstorage5 Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 J.D. Williams cornerback.... Though about him,...He did play 6 years in the nfl, 1990 / Round: 1 / Pick 16 Your right he's back on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOKBILLS Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Ronnie harmon has 8000 yd and 500 receptions. great call on parrella and Tony hunter!!! Parrella may have been a bust for The Bills but he played for 12 years in the NFL and was an excellent DT in SD for years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldstorage5 Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 Parrella may have been a bust for The Bills but he played for 12 years in the NFL and was an excellent DT in SD for years... I agree about Parella, I took him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I was surprised to see Parella on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOKBILLS Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 One of the 1st "bust" names that came to mind for Me was Texas DT James Patton who was Drafted #55 Overall in 92 and was on the Bills Roster for only 2 Years...If I remember right he got hurt...But that's a 2nd Round Pick who basically never saw the Field...

Patton and Parella were both busts. Mistakes on John Butler's (RIP) part for drafting 4-3 tackles when we played a 3-4 D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills problem is that the list of flops is almost endless and the list of great players is very small. Patulski is the clear winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
