Durham_Bills_Fan Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I dislike Mel Kiper more than imaginable, and I am not sure if the title "draft expert" should exist, however, after watching the Bills consistently shock the onlooking "experts" year after year and then see the draft class wallow in anonymity, the experts may have some merit. In years past the Bills brass has ignored needs and selected unknown players from small schools, but I can honestly say I am very encouraged by the fact that the front office has thusfar decided to: 1. Draft one of the concensus best available players 2. Who plays a position where he could potentially be 1 or 2 on the depth chart at the start of the season (CJ Spiller) 3. With a track record of production in college (Maybin, McCargo) 4. From a power conference school (Troup, Carrington, McKelvin, Bell, Omon, Wright, Nelson, etc, etc, etc.) 5. With the ability to communicate effectively in the English language (Lynch, Losman, Ko Simpson - I am thankful to Carolina not to be able to add Cam Newton to this list) There is no recipe to select a great pro, but I think this could help...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Agreed, was talking too a guy at work about how we pick too many small projects. One or two is nice but half the draft, big plus going Alabama, Texas, LSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
