dancing_joker Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Cowherd said we had the best draft thus far. I'm not joking. He includes free agency moves in his overall draft grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharebear Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Obviously everyone thinks we reached, and we may have, a c-b is probably right for our grade, woulda been higher if kueckly fell or if we grabbed floyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 If he would bother to look and see that a T was not selected until #23, he wouyld notice that other teams were not sold on this year's T crop, eirther. Assuming you knew a T was selected 4th, it's still not meaningful to point that out--not every team needed a T. JJ, your one sentence argument above nails it, done, end of story. However, if I could add something else to send off to Prisco it would be that one of the Ts (or WRs) we coveat is going to be there in the 2nd. The WRs may not be there at 41. Exactly. Say you don't like the pick all you want, but based on what actually happened in this draft, if the Bills had taken an OT it would would have been the same bad grade based on "reaching". I agree. Anyway, giving Cleveland a C and F for picking up the best RB in a few years and a QB who will start this year andd easily be an upgrade over McCoy is ridiculous. Stating that RBs don't win SBs is irrelevant. This team had no offense, now they have instant upgrades to go with their "franchise LT". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Wow, what a jerk! How could he think that this spendid selection was anything less than a stroke of genius, and a smashing success? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todzilla Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Another person that seems to think you are supposed to fill all your holes in the first round. But really, with Gilmore, you get a player that fills a need and was pretty much a consensus to go between 7-12. Seems like a B at worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjmac Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 The funniest part is if you look at his comments on the Carolina Panthers, he dings them for "what about corner". Well if they had done that as he says, it would have been Gilmore coming off the board one pick ahead of the Bills.... so by Prisco's logic, Gilmore fell to us! I wonder if his grades are based on his opinion towards whether or not we filled what the media experts deemed our greatest needs. If that is the case, we're screwed, because Buddy goes BPA in the 1st round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Búfalo Blanco Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 same link as OP This pick is perplexing. I like the player, but you can tell the Bills are trying to amp up that defense. Why not a tackle? Even Prisco's quote on why the Bills get a C doesn't make sense here... So, you like the player, Pete.. but Buffalo is amping up the defense too much..?!?! What the hell are you talking about..? This is criticism? A tackle? You mean after Kalil? There are 9 more picks to go for the Bills in case you didn't do your homework, Sparky... and a 4th rounder from last year named Chris Hairston. Based off some of the things I just read in this "senior NFL columnist" draft grade article, I like my chances as a sports writer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgang Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Could care less what Prisco (Prisco?!) thinks. Buddy likes him, Mayock ranked him #8 overall on his board, and Cosell put him at #3 based on film (calling him a Woodson-type player). All of that is good enough for me. I'm not doing cartwheels over the pick but I'm not pissed either. I think it was a dependable/responsible pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turftoe Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I happy if Prisco give us a bad grade. Total idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 He is grading us down not because we didn't pick a good player that fit our more pressing needs. But they got a good player at a position that was a need. I give the pick a B+, Gilmore was solid value at a position of somewhat need. If they can get some needs sorted out in the second and other rounds it will be a really nice pick. All the time people here were complaining how bad the corners were then we draft one and its all doom and gloom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsguy Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Boy if you thought grading a team's 7 round draft was a complete waste of time, grading after one round brings that to a whole new level. Let's evaluate the draft in 3 or 4 years, not 3 or 4 hours. It's ridiculous to get worked up over draft grades anyway - positive or negative!

Peter Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) The funny thing is that Pete Prisco's mock draft had Stephon going one pick before the Bills: CBS Mock Draft - including Prisco Edited April 27, 2012 by Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FleaMoulds80 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 First round grade based off what? These guys haven't even signed contracts or anything yet. Basing this off of potential and filling need? Consider these grades worthless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave mcbride Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Grading a draft on the day after Rd 1 occurs is the height of stupidity. That's all I'll say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWest Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 This is an outrage! Im dumbfounded and confused! I have no idea who Pete Prisco is. Sounds like a combination of Pringles and Crisco. Never heard of ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never NEVER Give-up Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Boy if you thought grading a team's 7 round draft was a complete waste of time, grading after one round brings that to a whole new level. Dead on! I swear these guys aren't grading the quality of the pick, they are grading the pick vs their mock draft - as if they know what we need!! We had one of the fewest sacks-against totals in the league last year AND there were no tackles worthy of a pick @ #10. Prisco's bruised ego is obvious. Um, it said Luke Kuechly. Yep - and they all had Gilmore off the board when we picked at #10!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
