It's stupid choices like this one that kept the Bills down for 20 years 7 minutes ago, C.Biscuit97 said: And Roscoe Parrish. It was TD always tried to make the flashy move. The worst part is Ralph have him plenty control and after he got fired, Ralph took back control. McGahee played three seasons with the Bills. Rushing yards were 1128, 1247 and 990. He missed two games in those three years. Then the Bills traded him and he had another 1,200 yard season the next year. How, exactly, was this a bad pick? Seems to me that it was stupid to trade him away (for a 3rd and a 7th). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me that it was stupid to trade him away (for a 3rd and a 7th). Because they had a 25 year old rb who just had seasons of 1,438 and 1,356 rushing seasons, rb is the easiest position to find and silly to spend high picks on (especially when you have a good player) and could have had Dallas Clark instead, and they had to waste a year on his rehabbing. It was a stupid pick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGahee was a decent RB about never at the level where you could justify the pick 4 hours ago, HOUSE said: McGahee was traded to the Baltimore Ravens before the 2007 season The Bills received third and seventh round picks in the 2007 NFL Draft and a third round pick in the 2008 NFL Draft.[15] .. The value they received for Willis was really not great. The Bills makeshift front office was just as incompetent in 2007 as they were in 2010 under Buddy Nix. By the time they wanted to trade Willis, they have zero leverage and everyone knew it and lowballed them with offers. So they had to take the best of the worst offers and probably should have done a little better. The same happened with Marshawn Lynch, and the return that Nix got for him was flat out disgusting. Plus Marshawn went on to be an All-Pro. Buddy seems to be regarded as an “okay” to “good” GM by the fan base which is comical. He was really bad, maybe worse than Russ Brandon!!!

This was one of the few times during that dark period that they were actually ahead of the curve. Sadly, the same can't be said for Travis' 9 baby mamas, or whoever got caught up in his cocaine trafficking ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills Blog Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 5 hours ago, ALF said: Following the 2006 season, after McGahee had made disparaging remarks about the city of Buffalo—including an implication that the Bills should move to Toronto—the Bills traded him to the Baltimore Ravens. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willis_McGahee Exceptional use of em dashes in that excerpt.

I kinda remember him giving a presser defending the selection, because at the time we had Lynch and Jackson and there was a lot of flak for the Spiller pick.

I kinda remember him giving a presser defending the selection, because at the time we had Lynch and Jackson and there was a lot of flak for the Spiller pick. Chan Gailey was the one who spoke of wanting a "water bug" pre draft: On paper, the Buffalo Bills have one of NFL's most impressive backfields. Fred Jackson rushed for over 1,000 yards last year. Marshawn Lynch did it each of the previous two seasons and went to a Pro Bowl. But there's one significant problem with the Bills' running back depth chart. It stops at two. With that in mind, Bills head coach Chan Gailey said Tuesday morning at the NFL owners meetings that adding another back will be a priority in the draft along with the offensive and defensive lines and a wide receiver. "I don't mean to insinuate we'd take a running back with the first pick," Gailey told me. "Right now, we only have two running backs on the roster. We've got to start to upgrade there in some way, shape or form." Gailey has a prototype in mind, a complement to the size and power Jackson and Lynch offer. "There's some good running backs in the draft this year different than what we've got. So change of pace, again, might be something you could do there with a different type of player. The guys that are coming out now, there's a bunch of those 5-9, 185-pound or 195-pound, quick-as-a-cat water bugs that are running backs-slash-receivers that might give you a little bit of a punch on the field, maybe make a big play." https://www.espn.com/blog/afceast/post/_/id/11889/gailey-wants-to-draft-a-scatback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullBuchanan Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 He turned into a solid back for the ravens. He never really recovered from losing a step due to his knee injury, but a good player in spite of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay_Fixit Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Outside of being a Hurricanes fan, my biggest McGahee memory was being at the Bills Seahawks game in Seattle for his best game as a pro.
