Brandon Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I have no idea how accurate this is, but its somewhat interesting at the very least: http://www.newerascouting.com/index.php?c=33&a=103 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bflojohn Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I've seen this list before and I'll GAURANTEE the list is vastly larger than that!! One DT is absurd, and one RB is absurd too!! The intent here is to tout a website with somewhat questionable information. It is the equivalence of throwing enough sh-- against a wall so that it will surely ensure some of it sticks!

Yasin's BILLS Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I don't see us getting troy smith. Im surprised he lost a lot of value. I know he played horrible in the national championship game but he won the hiesman trophy, shouldn't that automatically mean a 1st rounder? Ive never seen a hiesman trophy winner not get drafted in later rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fewell733 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 its not about "interest" its a list of the people we are known to have expressly spoken to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBilliever Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Troy Smith? No go on that one bub, New Era usually has decent coverage but this is absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive never seen a hiesman trophy winner not get drafted in later rounds. Gino Teretta. For a while there, the hiesman was a curse in the NFL draft. I stand corrected....Teretta was apparently drafted in the 7th round. Some Heisman Busts: 1989 - Andre Ware 1990 - Ty Detmer 1991 - Desmond Howard 1992 - Geno Teretta 1993 - Charlie Ward 1994 - Rashaan Salaam 1996 - Danny Werfuel 1999 - Ron Dayne 2000 - Chris Winkie 2001 - Eric Crouch 2003 - Jason White If past history is anything...its not looking good for Troy Smith. I knew this list was going to be bad, but not THIS bad. In fact, since 1989, the only heisman winners who have hit it big are Eddie George, Ricky Williams (kinda), Charles Woodson and Carson Palmer. Jury is still out on Linert/Bush. Thats FOUR of SEVENTEEN... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yasin's BILLS Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Gino Teretta. For a while there, the hiesman was a curse in the NFL draft. Ill pull some numbers on heisman winners here in a few minutesthats true but don't forget reggie bush won the hiesman trophy in 2005 and had a great year in 2006 in the nfl. and i think is going to have a monster career as long as he leaps into the endzone from 5 yards out he has nothing to worry about.

JimBob2232 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I think we will draft a QB. Will be 2nd day though. I see us cutting Holcomb (perhaps nall, but i think Holcomb is more likely) and keeping a rook on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Does anyone know how many of last year's picks were on the 2006 list? If they didn't have Whitner, then they don't know Jack, and all they are doing is speculating based on a review of our depth chart. If anyone claims they know what the Bills are thinking, they better have a track record of correctly nailing what Marv thought last year. Otherwise, they're no better than you or me, probably worse since many of us know more about this team than someone writing about all 32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for your information Desmond Howard won a super bowl in 1996 with the Green Bay Packers so thats 5 of 17, Ricky Williams hasn't really quite proved him self yet, Charles Woodson is an injury prone CB so actually 3 of 17.

True, but Desmond Howard was hardly good. He had some good seasons, and some good games, and he is one of the top guys on this list, but I cant really call him a good pro. If you include howard, you have to include whickkkky... But I think the point remains, the prognosis for heisman winners in the NFL is NOT good.

Yasin's BILLS Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 and you can take charlie ward off the list because he never played in the nfl, he played in the nba so 2 of 17. but I think there will be a new tail for hiesman trophy winners, lienhart is going to be a good qb in the league surrounded with talent around him. Reggie Bush is going to be a good running back, jason white hasn't even played since he's been drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlegm Alley Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 If the Bills are seriously interested in TE Scott Chandler from Iowa, that would be great. He is one of the TEs that I would love the Bills to target in the 4th round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, they're no better than you or me, probably worse since many of us know more about this team than someone writing about all 32. Being on this list has little to do with whether the players will get picked, more about where they end up in the pre-draft ordering. It merely suggests that the work done so far for these prospective picks has left the staff with questions they want to clarify. Or they want someone to think they're interested, etc. If I remember correctly, they didn't talk to Whitner. I guess they didn't need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 This guys are good from what I hear. Their disclaimer makes it clear what it is and what it isn't: Below is a list of players that each team has shown interest in during the draft preparation process including all-star games, the Scouting Combine, and private workouts. This info was compiled through many sources that include our own insiders. This may not include everyone a team has shown interest in or even indicate which player a team will select. It should give you a good idea of what they are thinking though. Some teams are more secretive than other, so information can be hard to come by. All of it is accurate to the best of our knowledge though. Nothing is made up! I'm quite happy with the list, to tell you the truth. Thanks for posting it!

Coach Tuesday Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 What's wrong with the Bills talking to Troy Smith? If he falls to the 4th round he'd be a great value, the guy is a fierce competitor who has won some big games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
