Mickey Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 How many Bills fans would like to have Steve Hutchinson, All Pro guard for the Seattle Seahawks on our roster? Turns out, we could have. Buffalo had the 14th pick in the draft that year. We traded down to the 21st pick with Tampa, also getting their second round pick which we ultimately turned in to Brandon Spoon and Travis Henry. Tampa took Kenayatta Walker OT. We took Clements with that 21st pick. In between the pick we had at 14 and the pick we ended up with at 21, Seattle selected Steve Hutchinson G, Michigan at 17. I would also point out that G Matt Light was picked by the Patriots that year only two selections after we took Schobel but that would be piling on. Coulda, woulda, shoulda.

Until now. Maybe we should just use "Patulski" as a shorthand reference to cover any post about really, really, really bad draft picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have erased his name out of my mind and now you gotta bring him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
