The curse of the 2nd pick by the Bills


Recommended Posts

If you believe in curses like the cover of Madden, this may not be the thread for you. With the exception of a couple that I can’t remember at the moment, (and nit picking aside) has anyone else ever noticed that since about 2003, typically the 2nd pick of the Bills in that years draft ends up being significantly injured for a decent amount of time? We always look at it as, “well, we get so-and-so back next year, which is like an extra draft pick.”

 

Some of our 2nd picks since 2003 include..  

 

2017-  Zay Jones (not out of action, but played all year hurt. Bad example) 

 

2016- Reggie Ragland (yup)

 

2015- John Miller (Don’t remeber)

 

2014- Cyrus Kouandjio (yup)

 

2013- Kiko Alonso (happened after 1st year, but yup)

 

2012- Cordy Glenn (safe)

 

2011- Aaron Williams (sore subject)

 

2010- Torell Troupe (yup)

 

2009- Eric wood (sore subject, again, but rookie year, yup)

 

2008- James Hardy (yup)

 

2007- Paul Posluzney (yup)

 

2006- John McCargo (yup)

 

2005- Roscoe Parrish/Kevin Everett (you pick, but, yup) 

 

2004- JP Losman (yup)

 

That’s arguably 11/14. 

 

With the exception of JA, TE is probably the person who I will be looking for the most this year. Hopefully he can stay on the field for all 16 games. I couldn’t name his back-up right now if I tried. :(

Miller would be a "safe".

 

I think you're stretching it to include guys who were injured after they played a full season like Kiko Alonso.

I'm also wondering about why stop at 2004?  Why not either be more recent (say, 2009, last 10 years) or go further back?

 

Creative though.

Losman might not have been a great QB, but he could put down a pack of Marlboro's with the best of them.

The Bills have more or less stunk at picking quality players in the 2nd round for the past decade plus. As such, I was elated that the Bills only had two give up two 2017 2nd round picks to move up for Allen in this year's draft. History shows the Bills wouldn't have done anything worthwhile with those picks anyway!

Really? I didn't know he was a smoker, good info if true.

My brother saw him at Sidebar on Hertel just after he had been benched for Edwards.  He said he was smoking and got pissed when one of the two chicks he was with made a joke about him being benched.  Also I guy I used to work with said he saw Kaepernick chain smoking at a pool bar place in Vegas.
