Mark Vader Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 That's great, I hope he succeeds in the NFL. A couple things I took from the article: He's definitely anxious to learn and appears to have a good attitude. I wonder how he'll feel about playing with guys like LaMarr Woodley, Justin Tuck, Antonio Smith & Charles Woodson when they are all gassed out half-way through the season. His draft picture. He's looking out into the crowd enjoying the moment, whereas Goodell knows exactly where the camera is. Way to go Goodell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QB Bills Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 No disrespect to Watkins, but this is the guy I wish they had drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 No disrespect to Watkins, but this is the guy I wish they had drafted. Not me. Well maybe now since Kiko is out CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) No disrespect to Watkins, but this is the guy I wish they had drafted. They would still have had to give up picks (maybe not as much, but enough) to move up... for a LB? Not even a need, at the time. We needed a #1 WR so can justify the move up. If they stayed at 9 and Mack was there, absolutely. Edited July 7, 2014 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah John Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 It was clear Mack was going to go before we drafted at #9. There had even been talk he'd be #1. Since he went #5 (and the Raiders clearly had a need for LBs), it was going to be necessary to move from #9 to #4, and the price to do that was the same whether we planned to draft Watkins or Mack. In my view they're both going to be great players and we would have been winners by picking either one. That said, I would have preferred Mack.

The Wiz Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 And about the only mention of Buffalo he complains about the weather I don't understand how people can complain about having all four season's in one day. It's called keeping you on your toes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth on hold Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I don't know if he can back his talk up on the field. He's talking like he's a lawrence Taylor, and physically he simply isn't. Markedly slower in the 40, and he moves sort of awkwardly too. Its best if he just keeps quiet and learns the position , instead of drawing added attention to himself. He's sounding a bit maybin-ish to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUFFALOKIE Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Im impressed that he can write well. I mean, paragraphs, punctuation, and all. Coherent thoughts put in writing - that's probably better than 75% (random stat that i pulled outta my behind) of high school graduates can do. Seriously. I hope he has a great football career, but at least this young man has something in between his ears that he can truly rely on. Disclaimer: I couldn't write my way out of a wet paper sack after high school and college. And im a fairly smart guy (really...I got 5 out of 5 correct on that kindergarten entrance exam on OTW). I learned to write when I (mistakenly) was given a tech-writing job. Tech Pubs sucked, but I knew the subject matter well, so I was able to fake it long enough until I actually figured out HTH to get an engineering position.

I hate to sound sanctimonious, but one thing I noticed and appreciate is that he has not festooned his body with tattoos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
