EasternOHBillsFan Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) First Round Bills OL picks of the past: 2002: Mike Williams - BUST The rest: (ahem) Ruben Brown, Pro Bowler John Fina (very solid LT) Will Wolford, Pro Bowler Jim Richter, Pro Bowler Stew Barber, AFL All-Star WHAT are we DOING???? My God, I didn't realize that we were 5/6 on picks for OLmen. That is amazing, and yet we ignore the position for lower round picks. Thoughts?

auburnbillsbacker Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Do you suggest we should have drafted Tyron Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 You missed Joe D and Paul Seymour.... Be that as it may, at the risk of undermining your panicky rant, perhaps you should check how many great OLinemen, for the Bills or others, were not high draft picks. You may be surprised by what you find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Blah blah blah...we know. I have a question: If you only have one first round pick each year, how do you draft 1st rounders at every position of need? I mean if you draft O-line, you're not drafting a QB, D-line, LB, etc. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My God, I didn't realize that we were 5/6 on picks for OLmen. That is amazing, and yet we ignore the position for lower round picks. Thoughts? I think Chix have been following the game plan that the originally envisioned and I don't have problems with it. We had so many problems with our team and they chose to fix the Defense first. While I'm sure they considered fixing the O, they felt it was more important to solidify our Defense considering that we ran a horribly undersized Tampa 2, 4-3. So while they focused on Defense, they spent a fewer later round draft picks on Oline (guys like Wang), picked up a few castoffs from other teams (Ubrik), and worked with developing the current on-team talent (Bell). These guys may not be the greatest, but they could end up being solid back-ups so that next year when we hit O line hard in the Draft, we will have already developed solid depth.

You are of course, ignoring the pick of perhaps, the only recent first round pick that hasn't disappointed (so far) Eric Wood...

billsfan182 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 deffinetly some good OLineman in the leauge drafted in the past couple years who we could have taken over scums like maybin, whitner etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalos#1Fan Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 True. Where would we be without Maybin, Whitner, Losman, McKelvin, McGahee or Lynch? Same place we are now since none of those guys are on our team (except McKelvin). Unless you meant to ask "if we had known they were going to be busts and drafted someone else, then where would we be?" Which there is no possible way we could have known any of them would suck (except maybe Maybin) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot that Oher was drafted in 2009. I know I wanted him, not MAYBIN!!! As for 2010 when we picked Spiller, I think the popular picks were Baluga and Anthony Davis. In hindsight, sure would have been nice to have snagged Maurkice Pouncey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An even better idea might have been passing on Maybin and picking Oher in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
