HardyBoy Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) Am I the only person who had no idea he was part of the Sammy 04 draft class?! I was randomly looking at the top of the 20l4 draft class and scrolled down a bit and there he was! So instead of trading for sammy and kb, they prob coulda figured out some way to get Mack and kb for less?

Scroll waaaaaaaay further down for Davante Adams. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurman#1 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) Yes, he was one of many good receivers from that draft, or anyway he looked like a good one for a few years. They were very high on Beckham Jr and if they hadn't traded up we'd likely have ended up with him or Ebron.

Nelius Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I think most people here know he's that much of a gigantic disappointment. Drafted before Davante Adams Allen Robinson and John Brown, yikes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills gave up a bunch to draft Sammie Watkins, and then picked Cyrus Koundjo in the second round. I know draft analysis can be 20/20, but the first two rounds resulted in a ton of talented NFL Players (Mack, Donald, etc.). It’s a shame we couldn’t have hit on someone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Yes it was a well known fact. And he was a very good WR prior to knee injury. They could have selected Mack and many of us wanted that to happen after they made the trade announcement. But they gave up a 2015 first round pick. There is no way they could have had both Mack and KB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QCity Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Sammy Watkins, Mike Evans, Odell Beckham, Kelvin Benjamin, Brandin Cooks, Davante Adams, Allen Robinson, Jarvis Landry, John Brown, and more. One of the deepest WR classes in history and we traded up for one 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or gone for Evans, Beckham or others without giving up the pick the year after? Yeah, coulda done all that.. but somebody has to be the punch line of the jokes and before this year, that was the best strategy to get national media attention.

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Was Benjamin a 'weighted' pick? 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBob2232 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 The other factoid I like is the 2006 draft. At one point 5 of the top 10 picks played for the bills - including 1,2 and 3. That very hyped draft was one of the worst I’ve ever seen. If you redrafted today - Kyle Williams would possibly be a top 10 pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m so glad we have a real organization who would never make such a foolish decision such as that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuncha Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 When he was in Buffalo, Benjamin ran like he had a piano on his back. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Romes Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Watkins would be having a career worthy of a #4 overall pick if it were not for the nagging injuries which no one could account for. Played a key role in KCs super bowl run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those words where we just sort of decided it means something else because "factoid" sounds like it SHOULD mean a cute small fact.

Brennan Huff Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 The Bills are about to win the AFC East for the first time in 25 years. Let’s focus on that today. Kelvin Benjamin’s name never has to be brought up again 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheektowaga Chad Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Still remember being hyped we traded up to draft Mack, keep him in buffalo and make the bills defense one of the greatest of all time with the talent we already had 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
