Mile High Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 And the 67th pick in the 1999 draft is...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 What IS the point of these threads? Are we NOW saying that TD shouldn't have traded Travis? Or that TD should have gotten more? Jeez. Unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I had no idea that third round picks existed only since 1999. To completely and accrurately assess the success/failure of 3rd round picks would mean going back through the entire history of the NFL draft, not just the years that serve your argument. Go back twenty years and evaluate and then get back to me, okay? Also, the problem with this theory, once again, is you are making the assumption that we will simply and only use this for a third round pick. That, of course, makes it so much easier to make your argument accurate. But why do you only look at it one-dimensionally? Yes, it's a third round pick, but it can also be bundled and/or traded to a better position or for a player to be named later. Can a second and an extra third get you a first? Can an extra third and a player get you a first? How can anybody take the time to be critical of this move without understanding this very simple, basic concept? Travis Henry = limited options. Third round pick = many more options. Please evaluate all third-round draft picks in the history of the NFL and then return to this argument.

Crows57 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Someone wanted to know what a typical 3rd rounder was. Those links provide it for recent years where you can get a feel for it. No opinion was made. Settle down. It's amazing how uptight so many of you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Real Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 2002 Draft - Round 3 2001 Draft - Round 3 2000 Draft - Round 3 1999 Draft - Round 3 383650[/snapback] Aside from this being a silly argument from the point that we needed to trade Travis Henry regardless of for who or what, you post isn't exactly accurate. Taking the Bills for example, during the stretch you posted. Their picks were as follows: 1999: Shaun Bryson 2000: Corey Moore 2001: Ron Edwards/Jonas Jennings 2002: Coy Wire. Bryson contributed for his duration in Buffalo. Was outclassed by Henry when he got here and lost his job, but none the less he was a good pick up in the third round. Corey Moore. failed in the NFL Ron Edwards is a guy most people on this board expect to be a HUGE contributor to this team this year. Possibily a starter. Jonas Jennings just signed a HUGE deal out in SF. Started and earned league wide recognition for his ability. Coy Wire. Solid ST's guy who is a work in progres at safety. All in all you have serviceable player in the 3rd round for 4 of five players. You expect a player to be solid and to contribute in the third round. To say that all 3rd rounders miss in inaccurate. It just depends on your expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonz Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 If you broke down EVERY round from EVERY draft you would find more misses than hits.. Yawn.. These threads are getting old quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake-Fat Sunny Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 The whole exercise of assessing how well 3rd rounders does not speak to whether the Bills should have traded Henry or not but more toward whether one should trade or package the resource we now have for a player or to move up in the draft.

My Friends Call Me Tebucky Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 A lineup from just the 3rd round of those 4 drafts... QB: Josh McCown RB: Brian Westbrook and/or Kevan Barlow FB: Rueben Droughns WR: Steve Smith WR: Darrell Jackson WR: Laveranues Coles (and we have Marty Booker to bring in on 3rd downs, too) TE: Erron Kinney LT: Jonas Jennings RT: Kareem McKenzie G: Zach Piller G: Rex Tucker C: Casey Rabach or Seth McKinney DE: Reggie Hayward DE/OLB: Chike Okeafor DT: Cletidus Hunt DT: Darwin Walker OLB: Joey Porter (a Donahoe 3rd round pick) MLB: Dat Nguyen OLB: Ben Leber CB: Mike McKenzie CB: Will Peterson Nickel Corner: Dwight Smith SS: Adrian Wilson FS: Greg Wesley A 3rd round pick is an extremely valuable commodity...you can get great players, you just have to have a reliable system that's capable of finding them. Many of these guys have played in Pro Bowls..i don't think a team with this as it's lineup would do any worse than 8-8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
