stuckincincy Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Go Surfing, I mean Sabres! Never heard of the dude, maybe he rocks? 674504[/snapback] He's a very good player - never imagined he'd be the 8th overall pick, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I never even heard of this guy..........I wasn't thrilled with the idea of picking Huff - a safey - that high..........So, we get the second best safety at that pick?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KOKBILLS Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Well... The safe Pick was DEFINTELY NOT the SS at #8...No way... I think Bunkley or Ngata is going to make this Pick look REAL bad in time...I mean the Trade Down here was obvious if you ask me... Seemed like a panic Pick to Me...Just poor Management of The Draft process... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 The words in Bold tell me everything I need to know why Whitner was drafter #1 by Marv... 674519[/snapback] It's okay that he was the #1 pick of the Bills...just not as the # friggin' 8 overall pick. I walked away from the TV because I didn't want to hear anyone ridicule the bills for taking this guy WAY TOO HIGH!!! I want the fyou smiley and I want it now!!!!

MartyBall4Buffalo Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Whitner would've been fine at say 15. Whitner at 8?!?!??! Someone spiked Levys apple sauce. they got some esplanin to do.

colin Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 i was shocked, but remember dwight freeny, levi jones, edge james? everyone thought they went too high and were not even that great at their position, but they were all fundamentally sound. this guy is too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerstm Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 huge buckeye fan here! But I have never been impressed with Whitner.. He is good and solid.. but not game changing.. he will be good.... with luck have a carreer like henry jones.... don't expect anything more! To take him at 8 just amazes me... He is not that good...

sven233 Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 Here is what I think happened......THE BILLS GOT FLUSTERED They wanted Huff. He was taken and they were flooded with calls and they did not know what to do. Before they knew it, time was up and they needed to do something. I just think they had no clue what they wanted to do after Huff went off the board. Marv is failing BIG TIME at GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
