Seems to me that they are mainly basing their rankings on how many games the Bills most recent draft picks played last season, and with the injuries to our top 2 picks that number is obviously very low.

Dragonborn10 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 51 picks by the 49ers in 5 years and 1 Pro bowl player. Lots of those were day 1 and 2 picks. That is impressively bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddo Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Patsies don't especially draft that well, imho. They work the draft especially well though, and it means that they can afford misses. I can't remember the last time they drafted a WR who actually was really good, for example. They also are prepared to use the extra picks they regularly get, in trading for guys who they know will fit what they want. This same article the last 2 years had the Bills ranked 9th.http://nypost.com/2016/04/24/ranking-from-1-32-the-nfls-best-teams-at-drafting/http://nypost.com/2015/04/25/an-exhaustive-ranking-of-every-nfl-teams-draft-haul-since-2010/How can a team go from 9th best drafting team to 25th best drafting team in a single year, especially when the article claims to be looking at the past 5 seasons and their own rankings had the Bills 9th in the 2 previous seasons...?Seems to me that they are mainly basing their rankings on how many games the Bills most recent draft picks played last season, and with the injuries to our top 2 picks that number is obviously very low. For sure, that would be part of it, but you also have to remember, that it's a movable feast, in that a year drops off the list, and the most recent is added, every time they do this. Last year, with Lawson and Ragland mostly missing, is bound to hurt, and without looking at the detail, it may well be that 2011, was a decent year, so you get a bit of a double whammy on that. I don't suppose that Watkins missing a bunch of time helped, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meathead Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 bill blowhardchek is a 'genius' for one reason: he opens the door for his prom queen goat i pray with all sincerity he continues coaching after she retires just to clearly demonstrate why he has a sub-.500 record when his golden girl isnt playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that article. It seems this year the writer only cares about number of pro bowlers, vs. adding lots of. Mid round talent which is what Whaley was credited for in the past. I agree with last year's article. I may have a different opinion after this Saturday. Whaley needs desperately to have an excellent draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExWNYer Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 the vikings have had 9 - 1st round picks since 2012... 9!! With two first round playoff exits in two appearances and one fired Head Coach to show for it so far. That's not making the most of your selections.

row_33 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 They haven't had incentive to draft well? Not the same as the Bills. Pats fans won't be expecting their first few picks to jump in immediately and have a Pro Bowl year and help the team make the playoffs. Pats have not prioritized skill positions for the Brady years like other teams, they pick them up as they have need. A few draft picks have been good for Brady's Era.

Pats have not prioritized skill positions for the Brady years like other teams, they pick them up as they have need. A few draft picks have been good for Brady's Era. In general the Patriots have drafted poorly. They have largely built the roster on mid level vets. They are not an overly talented roster. They have Brady and the system is brilliant. At the same time everyone has incentive to draft well. You upgrade your weakest positions. Look at their last handful of drafts. They are pretty bad. We don't need to make excuses for them like "they don't have incentive to draft well." It's okay to say "they've drafted poorly." They still won the Super Bowl.
