BuckeyeBill Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I don't respect a person who says, "Horrible pick" when the next breath they say, "He is a great player, one of the best talents in the draft." If a team gets a good player, it is a good pick. PERIOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 So far: ESPN gave us a big fat thumbs down. http://espn.go.com/b...-down-for-no-1s NFL.com gave us the lowest ranking in their first round draft grades http://www.nfl.com/n...uicksnap-grades CBS has us among the losers http://www.cbssports...ners-and-losers Prisco gives us the lowest grade (tied) http://www.cbssports...l-draft-round-1 Yahoo Sports lists us among the losers http://sports.yahoo....-054305739.html Post more links as they come Gee, I wonder why. But wait, everyone here has it as a great move. They must all be right since they've been saying the same thing every draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxy312 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 The "experts" are always funny to me. They parrot one another as if they know exactly how a player will perform in the NFL. Let's just look at the last couple of drafts. I'll leave out Manuel, because he's still very much a TBD. In 2012, they obviously picked Gilmore. The so called experts deemed the pick questionable, a "head scratcher", suggesting the Bills should have instead drafted an OT. That would have left the Bills with either Kevin Zeitler or Riley Reiff. Call me crazy, but Gilmore is the best CB on the team and was since day 1. Experts are wrong. 2011 is a tie because the Bills drafted a position of need and it was the same as the experts suggested with Dareus. 2010, the Bills took CJ Spiller. The experts this time give the Bills an "A" grade for an explosive play maker that can score from anywhere. Never mind that the Bills needed a DE badly and could have taken Jason Pierre-Paul or Derrick Morgan. Both have been very good DE's for their respective teams. Again the experts are wrong. 2009 is sort of a tie. Bills select Eric Wood, who turns out to be a great pick despite negative feedback, but then turn around and take Maybin. There they could have had Robert Ayers instead. End of the day, I guess I could give a squirt what the so called experts think. They gave up a lot for Watkins. Let's just hope it shows on the field.

So considering that...They are looking at this trade as one of the worst teams in the NFL giving up a potential top 5 pick, plus a 4th rounder next year to move up 5 spots in this Draft...That's how they are looking at it...And when you look at it that way...well...sure it can be ripped on... The Bills feel they are WAY closer than any of these "experts." That can be debated all day as well...The only way this trade can be properly graded is with wins and losses...If the Bills make a legit Playoff push starting next year it's going to look like a good deal...If they finish 6-10 again and at the bottom of the AFC East it's going to look dumb...That's all there is to it...

nucci Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 All the NFL analysts hate the Bills so I dont care. Watkins could have slipped and went to the Bills at #9 and they still would have hated the pick. CBF All the NFL Network guys loved the pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
....lybob Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I'll Love it today and maybe hate it next year- why suffer anticipatory suffering, what if a gypsy fortune teller said you'll be sleeping with a super-model but you'll lose her in a year - dude are you going to be miserable with her because you know you lose her in the end or are you going to enjoy it while it lasts - and who knows maybe she gets real fat just before the year ends and you won't miss her that much anyways.

K-9 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Grading a draft less than 12 hours into it, is the epitome of stupidity. But the lemmings fall for this crap every year. More power to the brainless talking heads who actually get paid to serve it up for the lemmings to lap up. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TH3 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I kind of like the view "At some point you have to start believing in yourself". With this move - the Bills have done that - which might well be part of the package....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 What a joke!!! I don't get all the love for the Browns either. You mean like how they are automatically a playoff contender even though they were the 4th overall pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeMonkey Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I tend to agree with the pundits here. I love the player, he is exactly the player that the Bills needed to give Manuel every opportunity to succeed. i dislike the price. I never like mortgaging the future to that extent. The 1st next year doesn't sit well. But I trust that Whaley knows what he is doing long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just in Atlanta Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Don't get too excited. It's Day 1 of the draft. We got the best playmaker in the draft according to the same experts, and there are many more rounds to go, and a season to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kipers Hair Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 When you obtain one of the unquestioned studs in this draft...it's never a bad thing. I think most of the pundits don't feel as good about our roster as a Bills fan does. If we land a starting RT and a rotational DE, it's an A+ draft...

MyHorseAteTheKid Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 People love to beat up on Buffalo when they are losing..... If the Bills win they all jump on the band wagon.....

May Day 10 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 it seems like they are all planning on the Bills to yield a high pick in 2015 (and they could be right). If the Bills are a playoff team, the Bills should come out considerably ahead in this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
