Mile High Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 You may not remember this now, but when Marv Levy, Dick Jauron, and the rest of the Buffalo Bills front office snagged Ohio State safety Donte Whitner with the eighth pick of the NFL Draft in April, there was a lot of second guessing. Mel Kiper’s hair moved, tons of “experts” gave the Bills an “F” on their post-draft report cards, and Buffalo was widely considered the big losers from the two-day event. Four weeks into the 2006 season and Whitner’s a starting safety, making a difference, and on top of the Bills’ list of leading tacklers. Not bad for a guy that forced more than one talking head’s cranium to burst less than From Fox sports. And USA Today (RJ) bumping us down 1 spot, huh?
