bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Man the speed and poise of these players is just great. Donte Whitner is proving he wasnt a stretch and Ko has made me forget TV already. Couldn't tell how much McCargo and Williams did no big plays but seemed to do the job of pluggin the lanes. One other thing is this team is EXTREMELY well coached kudos to the staff we should be 2-0 but 1-1 is a good feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine how much better we'll be when those guys get a feel for the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all take it to the season. Now, from here on out, the schedule is looking so much nicer . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodnarb Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Yes, they are. I loved our draft on draft day and it just goes to show you that the "analysts" are getting paid to be bandwagon riders and conclusion jumpers with the misnomer titles of "analyst". They are getting paid BIG MONEY to fill the air with CONSENSUS ASSUMPTIONS. Nobody ever sticks his neck out and says that a team like the Bills will surprise everyone. Fuggieu, Dierdorf.

Johnny Coli Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Fox sports' draft grade 21. Buffalo: What was weird with Marv Levy's first draft in a decade was that he received value in the third round with Ohio State cornerback Ashton Youboty while maybe reaching in the first round for Youboty's Buckeye teammate Donte Whitner with the 8th overall selection. The other shocker was John McCargo, the third defensive linemen from North Carolina State taken in the first round. South Carolina safety Ko Simpson has a chance as well as Oregon State OLB Keith Ellison. If Levy is right, Dick Jauron's defense has a big chance to improve. Grade: C USA today **TWO STARS** An open casting audition — don't call; we'll call you ... maybe Buffalo Bills Did the Bills reach too high for S Donte Whitner? In any event, he fills a need. After bypassing the draft's two top-rated defensive tackles, they moved back into Round 1 to address need with DT John McCargo. Fifth-round DT Kyle Williams was a good value. CBS Best pick: Fourth-round pick Kyle Williams a hard-nosed, tough player who will find a way to get playing time. He's small for a lineman, but he's a good player. Worst pick: Trading back into the first round to get defensive tackle John McCargo was a risky move. They must really like him. Overall grade: C+. The McCargo move is a risky one, but they made up for it later. Williams might actually outplay him down the road. Sporting News Buffalo Bills -- B+I'd like to beat up the Bills for reaching on safety Donte Whitner, but they redeemed themselves with picks such as defensive tackle John McCargo, cornerback Ashton Youboty and defensive tackle Kyle Williams. MSNBC DBuffalo Bills If you show up you at least get a passing grade but that's the best you can say for the Bills. They overreached by taking Ohio State safety Donte Whitner at No. 8 overall, when they could have traded down and still gotten him. Then traded for another first-round pick to select North Carolina State defensive tackle John McCargo with the 26th pick. That would have been fine — 30 picks later. Marv Levy looked like what he was Saturday — a guy running his first draft at the age of 80. SI: Dr. Z CBILLS: Bad offense last year, but I guess the defense was worse, so that side of the ball got the first five picks. SS Donte Whitner is a good player, but he projected lower than the eighth overall pick. Ditto DT John McCargo at No. 26. But Buffalo will come out of this draft well fortified in the secondary, with CB Ashton Youboty and FS Ko Simpson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Any reason why Youbty a scratch or has all the time missed in camp hampering him? 776312[/snapback] I remember reading that he had some issues in camp (family) and he also was having a hard time learning.

SilverNRed Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I remember reading that he had some issues in camp (family) and he also was having a hard time learning. 776380[/snapback] He'll come around. The family issues may have been on his mind even before his mother died (i.e. her death may have been coming for a while). Moreover, it's rare for rookies to immediately make an impact. We shouldn't be expecting our 3rd round pick rookie CB to be helping the team right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I didn't hear anything about learning issues. It was a hamstring problem that sidelined him for a good portion of training camp and the pre-season, and then the family thing which knocked him out for the rest.
