A guy with multiple pro bowls was a worse pick than Patulski, Mike Williams, Maybin, Eric Flowers and Cousineau? We all know that you hate DBs and Whitner in particular but he is far above those guys. Edited August 11, 2015 by Kirby Jackson

That said, look who went AFTER him and as I said, numerous trade offers were turned down. http://www.drafthistory.com/index.php/years/2006

He's a dbag for sure but not even in top 5 1st round busts for Bills. He's not even a bust, period.

I thought that Whitner was a dedicated and full effort player who had a good career . Compared to some of the horrible picks in the Bills' history of making odd picks Whitner was an acceptable selection (at least by our perplexing drafting standard). I always felt that his performance was unfairly downgraded because he played for a dysfunctional organization. Worst first round pick: Phil Doaks DT OK ST.

BuffaloMatt Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Careful you don't want to get punched in the jaw. Many on this site will think you have a hidden agenda with this question. You are waking on thin ice speculating that the Prince EJ will get cut.
Gugny Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Flowers. And whoever told you EJ will be cut ... call him right now and tell him he's a stupid a-hole.

A trade up for John McCargo. That's certainly worth an honorable mention on the all time list. But Maybin is the without question the all time champ. I can't see how people can compare Mike Williams (56 starts) to Maybin (1 start; literally could have drafted Beerball and gotten the same productivity).

Fadingpain Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 I'm laughing out loud at the long list of names in this thread, many of which are SOLID contenders for worst first round pick in Bills history! No shortage of quality contenders here!

I remember him being mediocre, but not completely worthless. They at least got a 2nd-round pick for him, which ended up being Joe Devlin... more than they got for Maybin, Tom Ruud, or Phil "Okie" Dokes. As for EJ, I don't see any real difference between him and JP as it stands right now. Except EJ got us picks when we traded down - we got Kiko and Gragg
PromoTheRobot Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 If you think EJ is the worst Bills first round pick, you probably aren't old enough to drink.

Maybe we'll get something for EJ if/when he is finally gone, unlike JP. I do see a lot of similarities to date though... both inconstant, both inaccurate, both suddenly got the rug pulled out from under them, both with imagined conspiracy theories from the same small-but-vocal part of the fanbase. Neither are close to the worst though, at least they have positively contributed to Bills victories.
