JimBob2232 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I think this could be fun. Alot of us put in time and effort putting up projections. Now its your turn to play GM. If you were Buddy & Co, post what your draft would have looked like. We can bump this thread in about 3 years to see who the real prognositcators are amungst us! Only Rules: No Trades. Assume the trades Buddy made, and you can only select players which were available at each pick. And consider need. Oh, and dont take a kickoff specialist in the 7th round, thats just plain silly. My Draft Rd. 1 10 CB Stephon Gilmore Rd. 2 41 OT Cordy Glenn Rd. 3 69 WR Mohamed Sanu Rd. 4 105 OT Bobbie Massie Rd. 4 124 LB Tank Carder (Yes, I know he went later to us...but I would have taken him sooner) Rd. 5 144 OT Zebrie Sanders Rd. 5 147 FS George Iloka, Boise St. Rd. 6 178 WR Marvin McNutt Rd. 7 251 QB Kellen Moore By and large, Buffalo met my expectations. This cant be said for recent drafts. I think the last time I was this happy with the NFL draft (on draft day) was back in 1999 when we selected Winfield/Price & a bunch of scrubs who I really liked on draft day! ...that didnt work out so well... At least we didnt have a JP Losman or Marshawn Lynch moment for me. I remember waching Pre-Draft converage the year we drafted JP and I said "I hope we dont draft this cocky S.O.B." Turns out I was wrong on him as a person, I actually liked him, he was just a terrible QB, and there was NO WAY I would have drafted him. I also remember being very unhappy with Drafting Marshawn Lynch. My thought back then was "If we are going to use our 1st rounder on a RB, I'd rather trade it to San Diego for Micheal Turner" Turns out, that would have been the better plan. So, post yours. Get it documented. Then in a few years, we'll see how we all did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is post-draft - and yeah, it's a great idea. Now that we know the order guys were taken, we know when we could get them, so our lists are no longer random wishful thinking about when guys would be there. You sort of hurt yourself with the Carder pick - by definition you are reaching on that one JimBob - we KNOW he didn't need to be taken that early.

JimBob2232 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Wow. You guys are tough! This is post-draft - and yeah, it's a great idea. Now that we know the order guys were taken, we know when we could get them, so our lists are no longer random wishful thinking about when guys would be there. You sort of hurt yourself with the Carder pick - by definition you are reaching on that one JimBob - we KNOW he didn't need to be taken that early. Yeah, I understand...but you never know the opposite. We'll never know if Buddy took Graham too early. He might have been around in the 6th round for all we know. I coulda lied to myself and said I would have taken Carder later, but I wanted this to be as realistic as to whom I would have drafted and when as possible. im really glad we have buddy... Me too...this is just a fun game...I want to dig it up in 3 years and see how I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also three OTs and one LB, when both positions are in need in of equal depth. Overall great effort though!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JStranger76 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 The only thing I would have done different is draft Floyd at 10 and drafted highest ranked CB in the 3rd. I like our draft a lot now but would love it if this change was made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 It is NEVER "silly" to draft a useful player in the 7th round. It's "silly" to ignore a key part of the game. This. In case everyone has forgotten, Raynor missed on fieldgoals from <29 and <39 yds for overall 67%. I wouldn't want to argue that it cost us games, but it certainly wasn't good. Lindell's lowest % in the last decade was nearly 10% higher - and that includes 5 attempts >50 yds in 2010. He's 83% for his 9 years in Buffalo, and he's also 34 yrs old and his long % is declining. Does anyone here think a team planning on playoffs needs a reliable kicker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
