Gabe Northern Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Not just Modrak. Pretty much every rating service had him as a first round pick. This is not true; stop repeating it. The people on this board who think "everyone" has basically the same draft board are TOTALLY WRONG. Maybin was a flash in the pan whose draft stock was built on hype. Did you watch him play in college? He could out-run slow Big 10 tackles to the outside for 11 games in 2008. That was IT. From Gregg Easterbrook: Buffalo's drafting has been awful for a decade, but a specific reason the Bills are so bad this year is that in the 2009 draft, needing a pass-rushing linebacker, they wasted the 11th overall choice on Aaron Maybin, who has yet to record a sack as a pro. Maybin was expected to be a second- or third-round choice; I was sitting with a group of fairly knowledgeable football people on the day of the draft, and they actually laughed when Buffalo chose Maybin so high. To select Maybin, Buffalo passed on Brian Orakpo and Matthews, both pass-rushing linebackers who made the Pro Bowl as rookies and are playing red-hot again this season. On Sunday, Matthews was fantastic and Maybin was invisible. You can't throw high first-round draft choices out the window and expect to win in the NFL.

benderbender Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 How about a pre-draft quote from that year instead of hindsight from this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
