plenzmd1 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) Aaron Maybin. Oddly enough, Derek Freakin Fine. I thought Fine was going to be a player too! Edited June 29, 2016 by plenzmd1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Name one player the Bills selected, in any round of any draft, that you thought was a stud but turned out to be a dud...  got a topic for today. Which player that you wanted to draft but went somewhere else and was Awesome. that thread will be 10 pages long.   My Dud was Corey Moore, although he would have been a stud if Wade Stayed. Grego forced him into his 43 and was a terrible fit and then shot himself in the leg I believe and was all down hill from there. Big Mike Williams.  How does a mammoth #4 pick OT out of a big school fall so short?  he was a big teddy bear, guy had no nasty in him whatsoever, I knew he would flop. I wanted him to succeed because I love 370 pound monsters but monster he was not. JP,Hardy,Mike Williams,Aaron Maybin  Maybin? you had to be one of the few.

Blokestradamus Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Shawn Nelson. I thought he was going to be a revelation at TE. Â I'm not calling Kouandjio a dud yet but that's my biggest swing that might end up a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) Ditto on Big Mike -- WTF happened to him? As The Tuna would say: DWI. (Didn't Want It) For your perusal: Every Player The Bills Drafted. 3rd Rounder Ezekiel "Zeke" Gadston DB from Pitt in 1988. Thought he would be an impact player. Never made the final squad, though Martin Mayhew - yes, that Martin Mayhew (10th Rounder) didn't either and took his revenge on Kelly in SB XXVI.

chris heff Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Tom Cousineau. He not only was part of the OJ trade but he spurned us and went to play in the CFL. Then his rights were traded to the Browns and we got a number 1 pick that got us Jim Kelly!!!! Thanks Tom for being the best draft pick that never was!!! I forgot about this debacle leading to Kelly. This has to be the winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total Bust at QB AND RB! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1960_Buffalo_Bills_season  Omen of things to come? Ritchie Lucas, not Lewis, this is awesome in its obscurity. Another Penn State QB bust, part of a great tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 He might have been had he not been injured  Maybe, but to my recollection he hadn't shown much even in camp.  Shame too--I met him and he was a good kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016   You beat me to it.   Hate to say this, but I had high hopes for James Hardy    CBF Hardy is my pick as well. I combed through our draft history and he is the player I can remembering being excited about on draft day. His size and skills had me sold that he was going to be the big target that we wanted.

Rico Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Terry Miller and Tony Hunter, especially Miller, I thought he looked good his rookie year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtDart Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) EJ... I was really excited for him... got the guy we wanted and all that. Â and he wasn't very good. I know that I always throw fuel on the EJ/Tie Rod fire (mostly out of fun), but I am disapointed in the EJ pick, his was the first jersey that I had bought since Kelly.

Chandler#81 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Terry Miller and Tony Hunter, especially Miller, I thought he looked good his rookie year. Agree about Terry Miller. 1000yrd rookie season helped offset the loss of the Juice. Not as productive in '79, then, with a 1st Rd pick acquired by SF in the Juice trade, we drafted Joe Cribbs. Very quickly, it became 'Terry WHO?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
