Easy to say "guys he missed on" in retrospect - why do you not list all of the players who will be missed on day one after draft if you are so good at projecting the future rather than reading box scores after they have occurred.

 

You don't judge a draft when it is made. You make your assessment over time when the drafted players have had an ample opportunity to exhibit their skills. Based on his draftees' performances on the field Nix is a failure who will continue to mire this team in the muck of mediocrity if allowed to continue on.

Nix needs to wake the F up. They had Alexander

In for a tryout last year mid season and did not sign him. Chargers grabbed him and he went off

This guy has size and speed with huge hands

And is the prototype outside wideout.

 

He is without a doubt a stud. Please sign this guy

So we can move on to other positions.

 

Man I wish I was the bills GM

 

We would be looking at Russell Wilson

As our starting QB

 

Hi light reel nuff said

Best wide out in college football

The year he came out but he had major injuries

Rough crowd. Thanks for the post.

The only way to appease these other posters is to preface your comments with "Fitz sucks".

Other than that- you actually brought up a name that has not been discussed recently and in a position of need. Good work.

What's the point of all this?

 

Nix has missed on some guys, and as others have said, it's easy to Cherry Pick the missed opportunities in hindsight, however, he has added alot of talent to a roster that was very bad when he arrived.

 

To say that because he's old and Southern means he somehow out of touch and unwilling to draft Northern Players is Idiotic.

 

There is a more important overriding issue in the poster's observation regarding Nix's southern bias: That is his draft record in general is very mediocre regardless from what region the players played in.

 

I respectfully but strenuously disagree with your assessment that he signifcantly added talent to a roster that was devoid of talent. His record during his stint is 16-32. His team was nearly incapable of beating a team with a winning record. His drafts focused more on the defense with a net result that our defense was ranked near the bottom.

 

Three years as a GM is a long enough period of time to fairly judge Nix's performance. He took over a franchise that was in shambles. He layed out a path to success that made sense. The bottom line is that he failed in the "execution" of his plan.
