you really dont have a clue do you?

Nope, he obviously doesn't, like about 90% of the people here

 

Obviously this was a move made only to sell jerseys. We all know that the best selling jersey this offseason is going to be WANG, even if he doesn't make the roster. Anyone sending him messages to pick #69?

Yes. Now that we've added a 5th-round pick to the mix, we should be set up front. This line was really one 5th-round pick away from being a great unit with tremendous depth. Most guys drafted in the 5th turn into Pro Bowlers, so we can safely move away from addressing the O-line.

 

Slow down and read Gil Brandt's (professional) analysis.

Would like me to list the 1st through 4th round draft choices who have failed miserably? Would that make you feel better. Here, I'll give you an easy one Mike Williams.

 

Here's another name you might recognize, Jason Peters....UNDRAFTED.

 

Now please shut up.

Ed Wang 6'5" 314

T, Virginia Tech

 

War Room analysis

 

Strengths: Is well built. Shows the quickness to slide outside to cutoff most speed rushers when keeping knees bent. Shows good strength to eliminate pass rushers once he gets hands on them. Gets through the line to easily block linebackers on the second level, maintaining good balance. Can seal defensive ends to set the corner for running backs. Flashes the strength to torque his man off his feet.

 

Weaknesses: Shows inconsistent technique. Could struggle to block NFL edge pass rushers. Rarely uses hand punch in pass protection, leaving his chest open and thus gets driven backward by bull rushers. Tends to pass block with straight legs, struggling to re-direct and counter secondary pass-rush moves. Does not fire off the snap in the running game, and can be jolted backward.

 

Bottom line: Wang is a frustrating prospect. He has the physical talent to be a productive NFL starter, but his inconsistent technique and effort drives coaches batty. He is sure to look good in pre-draft workouts, but he's a risky pick because of his questionable production on film. Wang will be drafted higher than we have him graded, based solely on his natural athleticism, but prospects lacking in intensity rarely find the desire in the pros.

Do some research on the guy before you run your mouth. The fact is, there really were only two, perhaps three LTs in the draft that were worth a 1st round pick. Bulaga is a RT and we don't need an RT. Take a look at Wang's numbers and size, and he has the makings of a starting LT. My point was that this board moans and whines about all the picks the Bills don't make, rather than actually looking at why they picked the people they did. Perhaps it is because we couldn't stop the run last year and that's what cost us about three games?

You should really stop posting if you know nothing about football.

Highlighting the phrases that can be viewed childishly when thinking about his last name.
