RyanC883 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Other than a 1 year starter at the Football power Uconn that would be there in Round 7... Nothing strange at all. Another example of the Bills reaching. The College scout needs to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acantha Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 pretty bad team? maybe you should look up some stats before thinking you know what you are talking about Connecticut is a program on the rise the last few years and went 8-5 in the Big East this year Yeah. Try watching some games before blindly looking up stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimer1960 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 NFL.com's pick analysis:Pick Analysis: The Bills bypass an opportunity to pick up an offensive tackle or quarterback to nab Marcus Easley. The athletic pass catcher from Connecticut flashes big-play ability, and has the potential to develop into a solid third- or fourth-receiver. With the Bills slated to run a spread offense, the addition of Easley gives them another weapon in the passing game. slated to run the spread? I thought we'll be running the wishbone Someone please identify the great offensive tackles and QBs that they bypassed to take Easley. I don't see any that are obviously better than an athlete like this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Yeah. Try watching some games before blindly looking up stats. And beat the SEC team South Carolina in the bowl game so Yeah they are a good program. Do you watch any football? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acantha Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 And beat the SEC team South Carolina in the bowl game so Yeah they are a good program. Do you watch any football? I watch about 8-12 games a week. I don't rely on the talking heads or the stats to give me my opinions. And SC was weak for most of the year last year. Outside of a couple of big wins that came from really poor play by their opponents. The funny thing about the replies here are that I haven't even said that Easley was a "bad" pick. Just that I think it was strange given what was available. It's funny how people are so determined to jump up and defend anything the Bills do that someone can't even find a pick questionable without being jumped on.

Steely Dan Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 The more I read about this guy the more I like the pick. He should be a good ST producer and if a coach can bring out his talent he'll be great. Has A LOT of upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't know where Easley falls, but he is a huge WR with good speed. Something we don't have right now. We have a poor route runner as our best WR who is 5'8" and 160 pounds. The next best is about 5'6" and 140 punds after eating his Thansgiving Turkey dinner. I trust the scouts to decie what is best. We needed a Wr if Easley was the best receiver based on the type of WR we were looking for then great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We needed a Wr if Easley was the best receiver based on the type of WR we were looking for then great. I agree that WR is a need and if they thought it was a big enough need to go there before a position like OLB, fine. But even if that pick had to be a WR, I think there were guys who showed better play on the field, and did it for more than one year. And again, apparently Nix/Gailey see something in him that they like. Hopefully it works out, but that doesn't stop it from being an odd choice to me.

I have been scratching my head a lot through this draft because I have been foolishly listening to all of the draftniks around here for the last month. But watching all of this play out and doing a little research on the guys Buffalo has picked, I can see that they are definitely doing their homework. With the exception of this last pick, I can see every single player so far starting. I never really looked at it from that perspective before. All of these guys are highly likely to start because they are an upgrade to what we have. I have doubts about this WR, but if nothing else, this is going to put pressure on our existing WRs compete.

I mostly agree. I have been surprised by every pick, but have also liked every one outside of this last pick. I said in another thread that I don't know hardly anything about Troupe, but from what I know he's talented enough that if the front office thinks he's the NT they want, cool. Overall I like what they've done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
