smuvtalker Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 There have been at least 6 (debatably more) first round picks since the start of the drought that were worse than CJ Spiller: Mike Williams McGahee Losman McCargo Maybin Manuel Agree with this list. I don't know if I would call McGahee a flat out bust, but he certainly was a huge headscratcher at the time considering Travis Henry was just coming off of a 1400 yard season and was pretty much in his prime...and Willis was recovering from one of the most devastating knee injuries I'd ever seen in college football.

Packerland Bills Fan Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Maybin. He had two years of eligibility left and should have stayed in school longer. If we're talking the first rounds overall, then the Whitner/McCargo draft was the worst ever. Taking Whitner over Ngata was compounded by taking McCargo later in round 1. Whitner had been projected to go around 24 on some earlier mocks that year, which is where McCargo was taken. A Ngata/Whitner draft would have been pretty good.

sjjr Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Has to be MikeWilliams or Maybin. Both guys needed to be good players for those teams and were huge disappointments. EJ and Losman hurt too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMannn Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 All you guys posting Mike Williams. I was in the Kelly suite that day for a draft party. We get MW and minutes later trade for Bledsoe. EVERYONE there thought Super Bowl, the excitement at the time. Later to find out one of the darker days of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I understand where you're coming from with the 'we already had Jackson and Lynch' take but Spiller was a dynamic player coming out of college and he produced for us. To suggest that a guy who once ran for over 1,200 yards while averaging 6 yards a carry is the worst first round pick in the 57 year history of a franchise is beyond preposterous. And another thing, new rule, young fans (I am 38 and only claim to go back to the '85 season) cannot throw around claims like "worst or best in Bills history" when they only go back to like Drew Bledsoe as the Bills QB. The scary thing? Spiller may be closer to one of the best picks the Bills ever made in the first than one of the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Eric Moulds was a bust. I wish I had a dollar every time I heard that in his 1st couple years. More seriously - Aaron 'who the he!! did we just pick" Maybin.And living in Oregon I had issues with Whitner over Ngata. Still do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rant_and_go Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 In recent years, there have been so many prospects that turn out bad, you have to stop blaming the players and start looking at the organization and if they really know how to win in the league.Let's start by looking at the past 16 years of trying to win without a QB.

Addicted since '63 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Wow the list is way too long. But the worst are Tom Rudd, Phil Dokes, Booker Moore, Perry Tuttle, Tony Hunter, Erik Flowers and Aaron Maybin. Unfortunately there are quite a few more who weren't very good either.

dogbyte Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 May in, for sure, Mike Williams was a guard that the Bills drafted to play left tackle.

TSOL Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) I think the biggest bust was quite literally that big doofus offensive lineman Mike Williams. The guys physical size and appetite were only eclipsed by how bad he sucked from the moment he put a Bills jersey on. He was also like a 3rd or 4th overall too. I remember being so excited when we picked him too, i was so happy we picked what i thought was an absolute stud offensive lineman. We also gave him a ton of money, but no, the guy got paid and just ate himself into oblivion Edited March 18, 2017 by Lex Lyon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_In_NH Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Maybin and McCargo for me. I am going not just based on busting out but also because they were huge reaches and never should have been drafted when the Bills selected them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a what have you done for me lately league. For what it's worth.. a healthy Sammy IMO is a top 3 WR in this league. Whether trading up for him was a good decision is entirely separate from whether or not he's a bad draft pick. You're right, he's a top 5 WR when he's on the field; no question. He actually played 8 games last year, though admittedly he couldn't move in the first 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not at the table Karlos Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Didn't he have his own rap video? yeah. Maybe he can make one with Chad Kelly lol. Maybin. The others showed flashes of why they were drafted high. Maybin just ran 15 yards up field every play. I can't think of one impact play that he made here.

It's just so frustrating to see Mike Evans and OBJ remain healthy (Beckham after his abcense from the start of his rookie year). I suppose you're right that the verdict is not out yet for Sammy. But we need to see it this year or he will end up being another casualty in FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
