bbb Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I posted this to another thread, but it was really on topic. The reason I did is because somebody posted a link to the 1985 draft to prove Bruce was the #1 pick......Anyway, when looking at it, this was my response: Look at that list. For those who kept saying picking 7-9 and getting the win today is better than picking 2-4 and losing today: 1. Buffalo - Bruce Smith, DE Virginia Tech 2. Atlanta - Bill Fralic, G Pittsburgh 3. Houston - Ray Childress, DT Texas A&M 4. Minnesota - Chris Doleman, DE Pittsburgh 5. Indianapolis - Duane Bickett, OLB Southern California 6. Detroit - Lomas Brown, T Florida 7. Green Bay - Ken Ruettgers, T Southern California 8. Tampa Bay - Ron Holmes, DE Washington 9. Philadelphia - Kevin Allen, T Indiana Picks 2-4 went to 17 Pro Bowls. Picks 7-9 went to zero! nada! none!

Picks 7-9 went to zero! nada! none! ok fine, but you did not factor in who is making the picks for the bills. i'm not unhappy we're picking 3rd, but after watching the bills' 2010 draft class, forgive me for not being all stoked up... nix will probably take a corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiller was a total wasted pick - I thought at least we were getting a great running back. I just didn't want a rb. Turns out he's not great or even good, anyway!

iusmith Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 It doesn't seem to matter who or where we draft. They either suck or the FO won't pay to keep them. There are so many x bills out there that are play makers, that we didn't keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
