John Clayton's take on the Bills draft


Recommended Posts

For what it's worth --- sorry if I'm reposting here:

 

• Buffalo Bills: The Bills held on to Travis Henry too long in trade talks and didn't get value. They hoped to get Arizona, Tampa Bay or Philadelphia to give them at least a third-round choice. But all three teams got their backs in the draft. The Bucs took Cadillac Williams. The Cardinals opted to take J.J. Arrington in the second round rather than offering a third-round choice to the Bills. The Eagles took Ryan Moats. The Bills selected good players -- wide receiver Roscoe Parrish and tight end Kevin Everett. But they still didn't get help for their offensive line.

Interpretation: Bills did not give TH away. AZ, TB, and Philly tried to stare TD down, but he didn't blink. Bills still have rest of draft to get O-line help.

Idiot! Help for offensive lines doesn't come in the draft unless you have one of the top 10 picks. Anyone with half a brain will tel you that O line is the most difficult position to develop college players into and second rounders and beyond seldome contribute for 2 to 3 years.
