First and second round picks on this roster


Big C

Recommended Posts

Have we counted the number of first and second round picks on this team?

 

Offense:

 

First round:

EJ

Sammy

CJ

Wood

C. Williams

 

Second round:

Woods

Cordy

Cyrus

 

 

Defense:

 

First round:

Mario

Dareus

Hughes

Lawson

Rivers

McKelvin

Gilmore

 

Second round:

A. Williams

Branch

Kiko

Spikes

 

That's quite a lot! I wonder how that compares to the rest of the league. Seems like a theoretically good way to build a roster and we've seen with guys Hughes and Lawson that sometimes a different team/scheme can make a huge difference with that kind of talent.

It is definitely on the high side. Let's hope that it translates to wins!!

JP Losman, John McCargo & Aaron Maybin were first round picks. Nobody would be the excited about them on their team.

Utica Club was crappy beer but the cream ale was okay. Neither was worth a screen name spot in the first or second round.

What if the Bills had drafted Maximus Super in 1972. It was like beer on steroids and was big for a few years. Definitely better than Tony Mandrich. It was made by Utica Club. What did you want at the time? Schlitz? Schlitz was like the Ryan Leaf of beers

And our best player of the last 5 yrs was undrafted (Fred). Mike Williams would have been 1st or 2nd round if he wasn't such a head case. The talent is there, we just need them all to play to their potential

This is actually impressive but too bad the results have not been. The D is loaded with talent for sure. The O all really comes down to whether EJ steps forward.

What difference does their draft status make now? It's a lot of symbolism over substance at this point, particularly for those who are on their second or third team like Rivers, Lawson, and C. Williams.

You forgot Mike Williams.

I believe you have it out of position, Maximus was a malt liqueur.
