Chicken Wing '73 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I don't think many saw the Whitner pick last year. Mike Mayock picked it a day before the draft while everyone on this board argued over Ngata, Bunkley, Vernon Davis, and Winston Justice. With that being said I bet they go for someone that nobody really expects... You can throw out the obvious (Leon Hall, Okoye, P. Willis & anyone else expected to go in the top 10), and stop thinking so much. My first off the wall prediction on who they will take will be Chris Houston the corner from Arkansas. Anbody else want to take a crack at the I told you so pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I've already seen a mock with Houston going at 12 to Buffalo. I guess we'll have to wait until Mayock makes his second to last or last mock in April. And then we'll know which surprise pick will happen. http://www.gbnreport.com/2007projection.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I think Adam Carriker would be a good fit. He'd make half this board say "Who?" or "What the !@#$?" and the analysts would all call him a reach. Yet, I've read some reports saying the kid is a good DT prospect.

Ozymandius Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 One time making a strange pick doesn't mean every draft under Marv is going to be strange. Odds are he'll select a player that we've talked about a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 One of the major reasons everyone was shocked at the pick last year was because we had the #8 choice. Usually in a draft most of the top ten picks are fairly well decided, or at least talked about ad nauseum. They may not ultimately be the top ten actual picks but the majority of the draftniks and publications and websites are in general agreement over the top guys, the cream of the crop. So no one looked beyond those names, and Whitner wasn't ever considered or debated or researched by Bills fans. This year at #12, even though it's only four spots away, there are probably 14 other possible players, or even more, that go into the equation. So I doubt there will be the shock factor in this year's draft. But you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you never know. slightly off topic... what was the last 1st round pick by the Bills that was easily predictable that most people hd guessed correctly?? was it mike williams? was that a given going into the draft?

ROCCEO Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Yeah, it was pretty well set that if Harrington was off the board at that time, that we were def. gonna go with Williams over McKinnie, but then again you never truly know, do you. In 04 I thought(and prayed) that we were going to pick Lee Evans, oddly enough I was hoping that JP would fall to us in the 2nd but I was pretty sure he wasnt gonna make it past the Rams that year.(I believe they picked Stephen Jackson). But you all know the rest of that story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBilliever Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Ah, the stand up comedian isn't funny... classic... Anyways, no, there are 0 givens going in to the draft.
