bowery4 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Only 9 players 30 and above and 2 are kickers. This is a young team, so they may lose quite a bit. The plus side is the potentiality. I guess that is what you get when there are no players here drafted by us 8 years ago. I posted this in another thread but thought it was interesting enough to have its own. Buffalo Bills Draft History 2002-2009 databaseFootball.com **putting this up here because you have to look at the full draft IMO* I do see the point, but well, more information is better. I also think it doesn't really matter what draft slotting someone has so far as if they improve the team (of course it does in other ways. i.e dollars and future drafts) After looking at it, I think the fact we have no one on the team that we drafted only 8 years ago is a pretty BIG disappointment! and inditment of the FO but the last few years have improved. I think, we will see. 2009 Rnd Name College Note 1 Aaron Maybin Penn State for now let's say projected starter lol 1 Eric Wood Louisville tons of upside, good rookie season, fan favorite 2 Jairus Byrd Oregon Pro Bowl rookie season 2 Andy Levitre Oregon State Very good rookie season 4 Shawn Nelson Southern Miss Needs blocking skills, maybe considered projected starter at this point 5 Nic Harris Oklahoma gone 6 Cary Harris Southern Cal gone 7 Ellis Lankster West Virginia played in rookie season because of injury, showed flashes will probably see playing time 2008 Rnd Name College Note 1 Leodis McKelvin Troy at least nickel back, projected starter will see lots of playing time 2 James Hardy Indiana step it up Mr Hardy 3 Chris Ellis Virginia Tech Showed nothing so far, having good camp 4 Reggie Corner Akron good player in a deep secondary, at least verygood back up 4 Derek Fine Kansas gone 5 Alvin Bowen Iowa State gone 6 Xavier Omon Northwest Missouri State gone 7 Demetrius Bell Northwest State (LA) Project lots of upside, after last year no where else to go, projected starter 7 Steve Johnson Kentucky beat out TO and Hardy, projected starter, for a 7th good pick on paper 7 Kennard Cox Pittsburgh gone 2007 Rnd Name College Note 1 Marshawn Lynch California 2 probowls and lots of off field stuff, player with up and downsides 1b maybe? 2 Paul Posluszny Penn State starter, needs to improve and be injury free 3 Trent Edwards Stanford needs to be a franchise qb, starter, last chance is this season 4 Dwayne Wright Fresno State gone 6 John Wendling Wyoming gone but good player who started 7 Derek Schouman Boise Statehe was replaced by the drafting of Nelson and the signing of Mathews but has shown some stuff stys or goes this year IDK 7 C.J.

BillsPhan Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 ...I guess that is what you get when there are no players here drafted by us 8 years ago....After looking at it, I think the fact we have no one on the team that we drafted only 8 years ago is a pretty BIG disappointment! and inditment of the FO.......OK, ALL THE REST ARE GONE. HERE IS A REAL PROBLEM, THIS IS ONLY 8 YEARS AGO!!!! WE NEED TO KEEP PLAYERS THIS LONG TO BE SUCCESSFUL... News flash for you Mr. Statistics: I just checked the Saints draft from 2002, and compared it to their current roster. Guess what, not a single guy from that draft "only 8 years ago" is still on their team either. I wonder, would winning the Super Bowl be considered "SUCCESSFUL" in your expert opinion?? The NFL draft is NOTHING more then one huge crap shoot, for every single team - not just the Buffalo Bills, who have had no success for 10 seasons. You are 100% correct to blame the Bills FO for this painful stretch. But drafting players who remain on the same team for 8 - 10 seasons obviously means next to nothing these days, and signing the right free agents and making smart trades obviously means much more, in my humble opinion.

bladiebla Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 You have 2009 - 6 Cary Harris Southern Cal listed as gone but he was resigned and in camp atm (you have him on the current list). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladiebla Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 BTW the best comparision is to stick to looking back 5 years imho. Most rookies end up with a 5 year contract. Being cut before contract is up = bust imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharper802 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 The Bills have been a very young team for a long long time. They have had bad players mostly too small to play in the NFL for a long time. Donahoe was mostly on the right track but got way too full of himself thinking he could outsmart the room with picks like McGahee and Parrish. If instead of McGahee we had landed a top OT and instead of Parrish they had a decent guard the O-line would be in much better shape. There are plenty of PR's in this league and on this team.
