GunnerBill Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 (edited) Prompted by the "ex-Bills" thread. There are four of Buddy Nix's Buffalo draft picks and four of Dough Whaley's Buffalo draft picks (excluding 2017 when McDermott basically ran the draft) still active in the NFL. Without cheating anyone reckon they can get all eight? EDIT: Answers now confirmed- Nix Stefon Gilmore (2012) now with the Panthers Robert Woods (2013) now with the Titans Marquise Goodwin (2013) now with the Seahawks Dustin Hopkins (2013) now with the Chargers Whaley Sammy Watkins (2014) now with the Packers Ronald Darby (2015) now with the Broncos Shaq Lawson (2016) now with the Bills Jonathan Williams (2016) now with the Commanders Keyvon Seymour (2016) is also still "in the league" but not on a 53 he is on the Ravens Practice Squad and both Ross Cockrell (2014) and John Miller (2015) were on rosters in 2021 - Tampa and Carolina respectively - in 2021 but have not been on a roster in the 2022 league year.

GunnerBill Posted September 10, 2022 Author Share Posted September 10, 2022 (edited) Think we have 3 correct for Nix: Gilmore, Woods, Hopkins And 3 correct for Whaley: Lawson, Watkins, Jonathan Williams (I thought that was the hardest one to get) Missing one for each.

billybrew1 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 No trivia but I got a kick out of Cody Ford being out injured for week one…. Not happy he is hurt but I think we really got a free 5th rounder out of the rare Beane miss…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he is still technically "in the league" but I didn't include him as he is on a practice squad not an active roster. He is on the Ravens PS. If you counted him it would be five for Deadly Doug.

GunnerBill Posted September 10, 2022 Author Share Posted September 10, 2022 (edited) I've done a few comparisons.... So Green Bay and Baltimore (who I regard as two of the better, most consistent, drafting organisations over the long term) both had 15 players from that same draft period 2010-2016 playing in the NFL. New England who I think take some unfair stick overall for their drafting record (the last 5 or 6 drafts have been a disaster but up to 2016 they were pretty good for a long time) have 17. Interestingly given where our current brains trust came from I checked Carolina and they only had 6. There was an extenuating circumstance there.... they had a GM change in the middle of that period. Haven't found anyone with less than 6 yet. Edited September 10, 2022 by GunnerBill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
