HardyBoy Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 5 hours ago, Bill from NYC said: We had the #8 pick in rounds 1 & 2, and the 5th and 8th pics in round 3. With these four premium picks we wound up with 3 players: S Whitner, DT McCargo, and DB Youboty. With 4 picks!!! In round 4, we drafted Ko Simpson. All this on a team with no quarterback and a pi$$ poor offensive line. In all sincerity, everyone is entitled to their opinion on this and all other issues. That said, I'm sorry; how you could think that this was a good, or even half decent draft for the Bills is beyond any level of comprehension of which I am capable. Peace! Absolutely given that context, woof. Is it possible that the Whitner pick was similar to the Preston Brown pick, where the game changed and had he been picked 5-10 years earlier he would have been much better (I think Preston Brown is the brusing MLB that was on the Bills while Kuechly and others were changing the position) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver lining is we landed Kyle Williams in that draft. I remember this draft like it was yesterday, man time flys 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJGauna Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 8 hours ago, Captain Hindsight said: I always thought the Bills tried to jump GB for Losman. Gunslinger QB with a huge arm and athletic? Seemed like the perfect dude to sit behind Favre In an alternate universe Losman is the current QB for the Jets with a Packers SB ring on his finger. Buffalo ends up with Rodger’s and is ran out of town after immediately being thrown into the starting lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand J Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) 4 hours ago, MJS said: Why? The Bills have had MUCH, MUCH worse drafts than that. Yeah, the year where Erick Flowers was a first round pick, think it was 2003, was arguably the worst year in franchise history. Off the top of my head, the only one I remember contributing was 5th round RB Sammy Morris. Correction: this was the 2000 draft. We famously picked Leif Larsen in the sixth and Tom Brady went just a few picks later. Edited March 30 by Brand J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 13 hours ago, BullBuchanan said: If he goes there, sits and learns like Rodgers did, and then is able to play the game his way, maybe he has a successful NFL career. Easily one of, if not the, most grossly mismanaged Bills prospects in my lifetime. He never had the temprament for it either though. Was his own worst enemy a lot of the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver lining is we landed Kyle Williams in that draft. We got Whitner, Youboty, Ko Simpson, and Kyle Williams? That's a pretty good draft for Beane, no? Youboty and Whitner would've been pro bowlers for this staff. Williams was obviously great, and a refreshing change from this staff's inability to draft game-changing DL.

Mr. Wonderful Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Could have had Haloti Ngata. Still SMH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichRiderBills Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_NFL_draft Memory lane. This was a good draft talent wise. Given who was in there and available, a huge bust draft for the Bills. Ngata stands out as a legendary whiff. This was the hey dey of my draft years. Wow those cheesy ESPN intros and clips of Reggie Bush walking down a fashion show runway. All the heavyweights - Berman, Mort, Mel were there and on the back 9 of their prime. I thought it was a decent draft for us, but not players I readily liked. I was shouting for Ngata. Given that a lot of folks had players miscalculated in 06. The names Winston Justice...Kiwanuka....Bunkley ...so many fizzles in this draft, but so many big players as well .

akcash Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 On 3/29/2024 at 2:00 PM, Cash said: Whitner was 1.) overdrafted - would’ve been a good use of a second rounder, but at 8th overall, a safety needs to be a difference maker on the level of Ed Reed or Ronnie Lott, and 2.) NOT Haloti Ngata, who was right there and such an obvious pick Cash I think you just became my new best friend.

Silver lining is we landed Kyle Williams in that draft. Even though Whitner was a decent player and Kyle Williams was a complete stud and great late round pick that draft still set the Bills back given that they could have taken Ngata and Nick Mangold and instead got a draft bust in McCargo and an average safety in Whitner. The Bills could have ended up securing both sides of the line with Williams/Ngata up the middle and Mangold occupying the center spot for 8+ years at a high level. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
