BuffaloRebound Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 they will probably have the #3 overall pick. The only teams I don't see the Bills passing are Houston and San Fran. That last game against the Jets will probably be worth a 5 position swing for each team. The ideal scenario would see the young players getting time and playing well, but still losing. Who do you go with - OT Ferguson or DE Williams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester43 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 whichever one can't play is the one donohoe will pick. seriously, unless TD is fired, i can't even look at the draft order as a positive...because we're not gonna draft enough good players for it to make a difference.

The Poojer Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 with those 2 teams above us and with Leinert, Bush, and Young as the top of the class for the draft, you trade it for extra picks, move down and grab a stud OL later in the round and keep building they will probably have the #3 overall pick. The only teams I don't see the Bills passing are Houston and San Fran. That last game against the Jets will probably be worth a 5 position swing for each team.

30dive Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Trade the draft pick away and bring in some talent, proven talent at the places we need it most...OL, DL and TE. We have a talented bunch at the skills arena but we need an O-line. This rag tag group will never bring us a winning record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted December 6, 2005 Author Share Posted December 6, 2005 I see GB beating Detroit at home this week. Then they are at Baltimore, home against Chicago(rivalry game), and then they have Seattle in the finale and Seattle could have home field wrapped up. So I see one win amongst those 3.

I think he's better than Williams of NCSt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I missing something?CW 522208[/snapback] Fezmid, I agree.......It is sad that TD has not been able to instill a winning tradition here...His biggest fault has not been the draft picks, but his inability to get a strong coaching staff......I think his two coaches being rookie coaches without any prior head coaching experience has really dealt a big body blow in TDs plans....Draft picks are lottery.....you win some....you lose some... For every MW and Coy Wire pick we have been successufl at the top of the board with Clements, and McGahee etc....And we have not done too bad in the FA pool too....My biggest disappointment is not being able to sign the right FAs for the OL and DL....Again it is not for lack of trying...there just was no talent available that they could go after....Like last year once Wahle and the other guy from GB were off the chart, what we were left with was mediocre to average linemen.....and as for the defensive side there was none......... However, like all jobs, irrespective of the cirucmstances/surroundings one is judged by their end result....After 5 years TD has been a failure at 30-47 with 0 playoff appearances and 0 divison titles...It is time to move on.

BuffaloRebound Posted December 6, 2005 Author Share Posted December 6, 2005 In regards to Kiwanuka of BC and Williams of NCST, Williams has 25 pounds on him, and Schobel has showed to be a productive player at LDE. Schobel and Williams on the 2 ends would be nice. Then I'd like to see the Bills trade back into the middle of the 1st round and get a stud DT. On a side note, I think Donahoe's biggest problem as a GM is he acts like he is a portfolio manager at a mutual fund. He only looks for value. That works in the stock market but not in building a football team when you have needs that must be addressed and team chemistry to consider.
