SawchukBills Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I for one am thrilled at this draft. Spiller was by no means the consensus pick at 9 but I think he will prove to be a game changer. 1) Drafted two OT without reaching for someone with a high pick 2) got the QB some may have believed was the primary target of Nix and Co 3) a DT to man the middle with Kyle Williams, 4) a WR that should push Hardy/Stevie/Jackson 5) more pieces for our 3-4 swtich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ash Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Solid B. Troup, Carrington and Easley were reaches at their draft numbers, but good picks nonetheless. Not taking Claussen in the 2nd or LeFevour in the 6th might have been a mistake. This years draft plus last years have the Bills building in the right direction.

Cash Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Positives: Addressed D-line early, especially at NT, the most important position. Got the consensus best player at one position at #9, & wasn't considered a reach. Did attempt to address O-line to some extent, although it may have been too late to make much of an impact. Negatives: Passed a potential franchise QB twice. Passed on some potentially solid starters at LT (Davis, Bulaga, Staffold) once, passed on another (Brown) twice. May have reached for a couple of picks; probably could've traded down & still got their guy(s). Ignored positional value and long-term rebuilding strategy by going RB in the first round. It's really a wait & see, of course. If Buddy's bizarro vision turns out to be true, and the presence of Spiller transforms our 30th-ranked offense, led by Trent Edwards behind Demetrius Bell, into a good offense, then this is an A+ draft. If none of the OTs that they passed on pan out, that would also help the grade. Clausen busting would be a major boost to the grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCinBuffalo Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Spiller has the potential to make everyone not care about anything else in this draft. Possibly makes it an A+ all by himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloboyinATL Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I voted wait and see because there is no real way to judge yet but if I graded how I like it so far I'd say B. We got some very good players at positions of need and an absolute difference maker at RB in Spiller. So far so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 FWIW: Charles Davis of NFLN gives our draft a C+ Former NFL Safety turned draft guru Corey Chavous gives our draft an A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I think it was an interesting draft. I like that Buddy realizes you have to get real difference makers at the #9 spot, and didn't reach for someone far down his draft board. I also like the fact that we got some size, and teams like Buddy Nix's San Diego Chargers made a living off of getting good, solid offensive linemen in the later rounds. I don't have a problem with the strategy, I just hope he picked the right players. That's really the key - if all of these picks pan out, they'll be a much improved football team.

toddgurley Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Have to wait atleast 1 season possibly 3. But i would not give anything over a C. Did nt get a good qb or an highly rated LT-2 of our biggest needs the troupe pick bothers me. I dont mind if you take him, just trade down and get him next round. i.e. NEW ENGLAND (even though i hate NE, they know how to trade picks and get more out of them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
