DrDawkinstein Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Without making any predictions about any specific players, I like the strategy and plan the Bills pulled off. Went in with 6 picks, walked out with 8. QB, WR, LB, WR, DB, DB, K, TE. They didnt get cute, quite the opposite actually. Able to get their guy, and gain picks. Addressed our biggest needs, no real head-scratchers. That being said, I'm personally psyched to see what they do with Manuel and all these weapons. And really hoping the D is as aggressive and nasty as it can be! Edited April 28, 2013 by DrDareustein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) And now look at these UDFAs we've signed immediately after the draft! Jeff Tuel, QB, Washington State Drew Smith, RB, Albany Da’Rick Rogers, WR, Tennessee Tech Brandon Kaufman, WR, Eastern Washington Ryan Turnley, C, Pittsburgh Keith Pough, OLB, Howard Jumal Rolle, CB, Catawba Jordan Dangerfield, FS, Towson Edited April 28, 2013 by DrDareustein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyC81 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 You kidding me? They got Da'Rick Rogers as an UDFA? I thought he was projected like the 3rd round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I appreciate the enthusiasm but I think any evaluation of the draft at this time is comical. The truth is that even professional scouts are often wrong. And we fans are mere children compared to them when it comes to our knowledge of college players. How many people here on TBD wanted to draft Matt Barkley and Ryan Nassib in the first round? Apparently none of the professional talent evaluators deemed them to be even 2nd round talents. We fans might get lucky and guess right once in a while. But even the draft grades of Kiper, Mayock, McShay, etc. mean nothing. None of them know how these players will turn out. None of us know. As a Bills homer, I'm inclined to think it was a good draft because that's what I want to believe. I'm excited because if all these players live up to their potential, the Bills will finally return to the playoffs. But I really won't judge the draft until the season is well under way. And maybe we'll need to wait a year or two to truly evaluate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Lou Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 The Bills draft, in my opinion is best summed up by the song "It's Time" by the "Imagine Dragons." In fact, this song says a lot about our fan base as well. Agree to disagree is fine; But without music, life would be a journey through the desert. Absolutley a fantastic draft. As a 39 year fan, I'm proud. Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemp Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Most of us thought TJ Graham was a reach last year... but we were told the Bills front office knew what it was doing. One year in, Graham doesn't look like anything special. Calling Graham not anything special is the highest praise I have seen of him since he started playing with the Bills.

Nitro Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Key word of this draft: SPEED. Position players can fly. They might not win alot of games this year but this team will be entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

first_and_ten Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 You kidding me? They got Da'Rick Rogers as an UDFA? I thought he was projected like the 3rd round? 04/24/2013 - 2013 NFL DRAFT RANG'S GANG: Wide Receiver: Da'Rick Rogers, Tennessee Tech, 6-3, 217, 4.50...In terms of physical talent, Rogers might just be the best wide receiver in this draft class. The number of mishaps he had at Tennessee which led to his abrupt dismissal by then-head coach Derek Dooley and Rogers' transfer to Tennessee Tech is the reason he'll slide on draft day. Boasting a superb combination of size, athleticism and toughness, Rogers can be a Pro Bowler if he is committed to the game. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan714 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Make no mistake EJ is the key. If he's big Ben, we struck gold, if he's the next Jason Campbell then we're spinning our wheels. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
