BuffaloATL Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) I enjoy reading about (and participating in) debates over who the Bills should take at #10. But honestly, the best pick the Bills could make is.... whoever Buddy & Co select tomorrow night. Take a look at the Bills history of making first round draft picks (not new news here, for sure, but it's worth taking a peak at: http://www.databasefootball.com/draft/draftteam.htm?tm=BUF&lg=NFL You could argue that the last two first rounders, the only two that were made by Buddy, are AT LEAST in the top 5 of their first round picks since 1996 (Moulds), and after another year or two they might be the cream of the crop. There's no reason to think this trend will not continue. So whoever they select, I'll be excited about it. I get it, we've spent the last 15 years questioning every draft decision, and for good reason. But it appears the person steering the ship knows exactly what they're doing, so we should just sit back, relax and watch the pick become an difference maker for our up and coming Bills.

True, but you know that no matter who gets picked, 20% will support the pick and the other 80% will be "they should have picked__________________."

hondo in seattle Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 While our post Super Bowl, pre Nix, GMs have not had a high success rate, neither have the draft gurus. And my own assessment of draft picks is worse yet. So who are you going to trust? I'm with you, I'll trust Nix until he proves me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some other ones that didn't make the top 10 but were still respectable (Jacob Greene comes to mind). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
