nodnarb Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 we're still feeling the effects of that completely useless draft. that draft alone should call into question one of two things: 1. JB's ability as a scout/personnel guy 2. JB's character. Some have opined that he knew he was out and planted a schit bomb in the franchise.

TPS Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 As I recall, we could've had DE Darren Howard with that pick. He's had a very solid career so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a draft pick that was....thanks for tanking that draft JB. 620674[/snapback] People always become critical of the GM when a draft pick doesn't pan out. It is not an exact science, however. The pick of Flowers was a bad choice, but only because he was taken with a late first round pick. If I remember correctly, the general consensus was that he was a late 2nd round or 3rd round pick. The Bills (Wade Phillips) were wowed by him at the Combine and "reached" to take him. This didn't necessarily have much to do with John Butler and the scouts. All of the NFL teams have reps at the Combine and their overall lists are about the same. They could have different opinions about a player based on their needs, how they'd fit on their teams and what came out of the interviews. So, again, the worst you can say about the Bills' selection of Flowers is that they took him too early. Had they not taken him, another team would've a little later in the draft. He just didn't make it as an NFL player. You can apply this same logic to the drafting of Mike WIlliams with the 4th pick in the draft. On everybody's board, he was rated high. Had the Bills not taken him at #4, he would've been taken at #5 or sometime soom after. He just turned out to be a bust with the Bills. You can't really blame TD for picking him.

ndmanley Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Certainly everyone makes mistakes. But that whole 2000 draft was horrible. That draft class should be reaching their prime and they all stunk! The whole Mike Williams 2002 draft was bad too! As a matter of fact, for those three years there are only a handful still on the roster and only 2 real contributors in Clements and Schoebel. No wonder we stink! http://www.drafthistory.com/teams/bills.html People always become critical of the GM when a draft pick doesn't pan out. It is not an exact science, however.
