nodnarb Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 He was. He was in charge at the time they were drafted, and is so respected by our current regime that they keep him as a consultant in his retirement.

Max997 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) He was. He was in charge at the time they were drafted, and is so respected by our current regime that they keep him as a consultant in his retirement. I think its clear to everyone that this wasn't a Buddy draft even if was still the GM at the time Anytime you get 3 starters in the same draft its a great draft and dont forget Goodwin who I really like as well Edited September 15, 2013 by Max997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swnybillsfan Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Just a great draft. Manuel and Woods seem mature beyond their years. And Kiko just kicks ass. it definitely seems as though the bills got this one right with regards to their needs and the talent available. not only that, but the personalities of these individuals seems to be just what you want at their respective positions.

BillnutinHouston Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I think its clear to everyone that this wasn't a Buddy draft even if was still the GM at the time Not clear to me. Nope, not at all. Why would they not push Buddy aside BEFORE the draft if your ADD-inspired hypothesis is true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodnarb Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Creating a consensus out of your imagination doesn't equate to reality. Brandon and Whaley made it clear who was in charge of the draft decisions this year, and I think I'll take their word over your odd phantom consensus. I think its clear to everyone that this wasn't a Buddy draft even if was still the GM at the time Anytime you get 3 starters in the same draft its a great draft and dont forget Goodwin who I really like as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Yeah, I was thinking about this as well. All clearly have shown themselves ready to be NFL starters and honestly have exceeded all of my expectations so far. If Goodwin can work back...

swede316 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I've said this to my friends before...This draft reminds me of the beginning of the Kelly era.....Yes i am comparing but damn these kids are good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 and add the potential of Goodwin, and FA's Hogan and Robey ..... a good rookie class (I know, technically, Hogan isn't a rookie). Kiko > Kuelchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 With no clear #1 QB at all on the board, and the #8 overall pick, getting EJ and Alonzo for the #8 is just fantastic drafting. It's possible that EJ will not be the franchise guy and that Kiko is a flash in the pan. But it looks like an extraordinary trade and picks.

RuntheDamnBall Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 WHO EFFING CARES if it was a Buddy draft or a Whaley draft? Does it make a damn difference, at this point? It looks right now to be a good draft. I couldn't care less whether the cards were authored by Whaley, Nix, or a toucan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Alonso really reminds me of a young Brian Urlacher. I will give credit where it is due when it comes to Nix. He may have been over his head asn NFL GM, but his strengths have always been as a college talent evaluator. I have a hard time believing he didn't partake in the draft preparation on these guys. Whaley is better at the business/FO part, no doubt, but Buddy can scout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigK14094 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Can't judge #3 yet, needs to heal his hand. But, at th3 back end, Meeks and Richardson haven't shown me anything. Cuts later, when Byrd is healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Lightning Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 EJ, Woods, Alonzo, Goodwin, Graag and a Kicker potentially make this draft class one of the best ever by by the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Interesting. Exactly what do you mean by "ADD-inspired". Explain that one. Maybe an unfortunate reference on my part, but I'm tired of simpletons who can't think beyond "Buddy bad" and "Whaley good". Those who can't reconcile the fact that this roster and coaching staff is the product of both guys, make me wonder about their mental capacity.
