jwhit34 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Back in 1988 the Bills hit draft gold with Thurman Thomas in the 2nd round. Everyone in the league passed on him because of his knee. They made the pick despite having other needs and 1986 first round pick Ronnie Harmon on the roster. Could the Bills strike gold twice with the addition of damaged goods Bowers? It sure would potentially make for a great front 3 or 4, and lead to them playing more 4-3 (and thus decrease their needs at LB). Some rotation of Dareus, Bowers, K. Williams, Dwan Edwards, Carrington and Troup looks pretty good. Great teams have to take calculated risks, this may be a somewhat unique opportunity to land 2 guys that were at one point listed at the top of draft boards in the same draft. I'm sure they are poring over medical reports today. For those who can remember back that far, how many of you were scratching your head over the Thurman pick 23 years ago?

Pete Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Hey Doctor- could you please differentiate between the two knee injuries? Just because both injuries involved a knee does not mean they were the same injuries. For example a concussion is different then brain cancer. So simpleton logic does not apply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
