8-8 Forever? Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 not sure what's going on with Listenbee, but could this been Whaley's first no cut draft? 1-5 all look like starters now or soon material. and the two 6's will make either the team or practice squad (due only to injury) it seems.

Hardly. 2013, 2014 and 2015 had no cuts year 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 We can judge drafts before the pre-season is over? It used to be the evaluation took at least 2 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4merper4mer Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I like Whaley but seriously the top two guys are hurt, 4 is a project and 5 is a drunk driver. 3rd rounder better turn into Deacon Jones I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 If not for Adolphus then this would be remembered as the draft that produced zero starters year 1 on a team that had a lot of holes to fill.

No player is ever a sure thing but Lawson appears to have the talent to be a legit starter and a shot at being really good. Ragland OTOH, until proven otherwise, is a throw back LB in a modern league that was selected by one of very few teams that can use his talent. It is why he slipped so far and probably would have slipped further had he not been selected by the Bills. I don't see how you can call either a "starter" at this point though. Even the most sure things are still rookies and can't be considered a starter until they actually start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malazan Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 These topics are annoying. Can we not have extremes on here from everything is awful to anointing a draft the best ever before any of the players in it have played an NFL game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formerly Allan in MD Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I thought this draft was a bust because all of them are injured or something? Add them to next year's crop of newbies, and we should be looking good in 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos to the OP for being able to see the glass as half full I guess it was a good thing that he didn't draft DT Andrew Billings which many felt was better suited for this defense.
