CA OC Bills Fan Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Interesting how history has a way of shaping itself. That secretary never interupts the meeting Kelly probably signs but 2 years later there is noway we are in position to draft Bruce Smith in the 85 draft. So actually although she did cost us 2 years of watching Kelly in a Bills uniform we probably would not of had Smith without her error in judgement. And, what happens if we don't whiff on Hunter and instead take someone else who goes later in the round: Gill Byrd, Leonard Smith (had a decent Bills career later on), Willie Gault, or Jim Jeffcoat? Do one of them win the Bills a game or two to make it so we don't get Bruce? Or, do nothing much for us for the first couple of years but are good enough to put us over the top vs. the Giants?

Washington got a fairly good CB with the last pick too. He might have helped along the way. Considering the HOFers in that first round (six!), and some of the other really good pro-bowl level talent (including the father of a certain former Bills' safety), some of the misses look quite spectacular by comparison.

I never knew Gill Byrd was his father. Interesting that he played 10 years and never made the pro bowl until his last two. Guessing JB made more last year than his father made in his entire career!
