San-O Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 We have 4'th pick overall right tackle who is adequate is guess. And Kevin Thomas is OK as a nickel back. http://www.billsdaily.com/gameday/ The rest of these guys could be gone. And remember, this was a draft where Buffalo was coming off a 3-13 season. We dtafted very high and that was not the time to reach. 1. Mike Williams T Texas (4) 2a. Josh Reed WR LSU (36) 2b. Ryan Denney DE BYU 3.^ Coy Wire S Stanford (97) 5. Justin Bannan DT Colorado (139) 6. Kevin Thomas CB UNLV (176) 7a. Mike Pucillo G/C Auburn (215) 7b.^ Rodney Wright WR Fresno State (250) 7c.^ Jarrett Ferguson FB Virginia Tech (252) 7d.^ Dominique Stevenson LB Tennessee (260) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 It wasn't a great draft, I agree. But the top seven picks are still on the team --with probably six of them returning next year. I'd give that draft a C+ which is certainly not a nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can still use Denney as a backup, I wouldn't get rid of him unless we brought in a free agent. Pucillo they'll keep for depth until someone else works out, whether it be a free agent or rookie. Reed will still be around this year, I don't see them dropping him yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soljc Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 It was a crummy draft.....other than Williams I'd only keep Denney and Thomas. C-. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Playfair Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 not a great draft, but many of these players have contributed. TD sure didnt find any sleepers that year either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, I looked at several teams (not all) and I can't find one team that had a great draft with more than just one or two solid picks in there that are still with their drafting teams.

Still not as bad as the 2000 draft though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most thought we got some great picks, especially Josh Reed. Don't give up on this list of players. No they are not pro-bowlers, but they can be solid players.

YOOOOOO Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Reed was so good in college...great hands.......he was a steal were he was picked at the time...He hasnt done it in the NFL yet....
