Yoho Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Might be well deserved this time. Very strange pick. Evidentally, Jaws disagrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY Nole Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Jaws on ESPN loves Easly, showed highlights of him running by CB's at Pittsburgh and said he even separated from the Patriots first round pick McCourty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 What does this pick say about James "9 mm" Hardy and everyone's favorite, Steve Johnson? It says the team isn't real high on either player to draft a guy in the 4th round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 VALIDATE MY TEAM ESPN...VALIDATE ME!! I'd prefer they start with covering the actual event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimer1960 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 This is purely a size/speed pick at a position of need. Certainly Easly's 7 career starts in the Big-East conference don't justify a 4th round pick, but 6'2 3/4" and 210lbs with 4.42 speed generates interest. Bills definitely need WR help, but this pick is all about potential not production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to advocate that the Bills should cut them, but they've done absolutely nothing to this point to deserve the free pass that many seem to give them.

JOHNNYFAIRPLAY Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 What's strange about it? The Bills drafting Special Teamers with their 1st pick in the 4th round? Thats not strange to you? You know we're talking about Football, not futbol...right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPS 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. Only because you've never heard of him. Consider the possibility that your fotball knowledge is more limited that guys who do this for a living.

nodnarb Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 So now that the ESPN talking heads, especially Jaws, loves the Easley pick, are all those emotions leveled a bit? "Waaa, I've never heard of that guy because I only watch half a dozen college games and read my favorite draft blogs...I want a guy with numbers from the draft....I want a guy with a name I've heard!..." Sound familiar? That's the voice in your head, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlegm Alley Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Anybody who thought that WR wasn't a position of need is out of their mind. Remember, he played at UCONN and that team had to deal with the murder of a teammate this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider the possibility that your fotball knowledge is more limited that guys who do this for a living. And consider that there are busts in every round every year and that the people who do this for a living make mistakes too. I'm not sure I understand the desire to immediately trash ANY alternate opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Syracuse Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Not that it means a whole lot but Easley chewed up the Syracuse secondary and spit them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guy 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. Some analysts had him going in the 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandius Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 This was a good pick. On the second day, err, third day of the draft, all you want are prospects with high upside and Easley easily qualifies as such. He might bust but he might also be another TO; you can't get rich without taking risks. From that standpoint, this was probably a better pick than Troup in Round 2.

Consider the possibility that your football knowledge is more limited that guys who do this for a living. BLASPHEMER! We actually did need to address the WR position. The guy has the physical traits but only started showing production in his senior year. CBS has him rated at the 13th best WR and NFL.com has him rated at 5.'something low'. From what I'm reading I feel like it was a bit of a reach, but I can't complain with addressing another need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrid 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 He's just a guy that was on a pretty bad team that never really stood out. Apparently his combine performance had him looking pretty good, but he just didn't look all that great on the field. I think there was some really good talent at other positions of need that could have been considered, but if they wanted a WR there were some guys that really showed more talent on the field available. There must be something Nix and/or Gailey like about Easley, I'm just no sure what it is. So for me, it's a strange pick. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
