Chicken Wing '73 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Bills Picks- Donte Whitner- Made a smooth transition to the NFL. A. John McCargo- A foot injury ended his season in week 5. C. Ashton Youboty- Showed promise in limited opportunitites. C. Ko Simpson- A steal who's rangy and physical and has ball skills. A. Kyle Williams- A high-effort player who will be fixture for years. B. Brad Butler- The jury is still out because he didn't play much. D. Keith Ellison- Shows quickness, instincts, and playmaking ability. B+. Terrance Pennington- Flashes the potential to be a solid blocker. B. Aaron Merz- A smart tough guy who may contend for a starting job. C. Other teams with an A grade on a player... Rd1 Matt Leinart QB- AZ Rd1 Haloti Ngata- DT- BAL Rd5a Dawan Landry- S- BAL Rd2b Devin Hester CB- CHI Rd5 Mark Anderson DE- CHI Rd2 Andre Whitworth- OT- CIN Rd4 Domata Peko- DT- CIN Rd7 Ethan Kilmer- FS- CIN Rd1 Kamerion Wimbley- LB- CLE Rd1 Jay Cutler- QB- DEN Rd1 Ernie Sims- LB- DET Rd2 DeMeco Ryans- MLB- HOU Rd1 Joseph Addai- RB- IND Rd6b Antione Bethea- S- IND Rd2 Maurice Jones-Drew-RB- JAX Rd3 Clint Ingram OLB- JAX Rd7- Jarrad Page- FS- KC Rd2a Cedric Griffin- CB- MIN Rd4b Stephen Gostkowski- K - NE Rd1 Reggie Bush- RB- NO Rd4 Jahri Evans- G- NO Rd7b Marques Colston- WR- NO Rd1b Nick Mangold-C- NYJ Rd4b Leon Washington- RB- NYJ Rd2 Thomas Howard OLB- OAK Rd1 Santonio Holmes- WR- PIT Rd2 Anthony Smith- S- PIT Rd2 Marcus McNeill- OT- SD Rd1 Vernon Davis- TE- SF Rd1 Vince Young- QB- TEN Some other notables were... Jimmy Williams-D Mario Williams-C Jason Allen- D Laurence Maroney- B Chad Jackson- D D'Brickashaw- B Michael Huff- B- Broderick Bunkley-F Winston Justice- D Max Jean-Gilles- D Buffalo did not look too bad compared to the rest of the NFL. Not saying I agree with all the grades in the book. Philly's draft (highly regarded among the experts on draft day last year) looks to have turned out very bad. The only player who was semi-productive was Omar Gaither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROCCEO Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Yeah, at the time phillys draft seemed good. The problem is every guy they picked was a boom or bust guy. Its generally a good idea to temper those kind of picks with safer picks throughout the draft. Philly may get the last laugh though, they tend to draft pretty well. In fact our 06 draft reminded me very much of phillys 02 draft. They took a lot of heat but in the end it worked out pretty well for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Wing Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 But....but....Marv reached for Whitner. That's what they said. But...but...Marv should have taken Broderick Bunkley. That's what they said. Bite me Mike Golic! Bite me Chris Mortensen! Bite me Mel Kiper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Ranchod Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Other teams with an A grade on a player... Rd1 Vernon Davis- TE- SF If they penalize Bills picks for not playing enough, how does Davis deserve an A as well? I think he'll be great, but last year was nothing to write home about.

I remember some people on this board wishing for Philly's draft. Yeah thats it, they can't be any good, they were rookies after all picked by a senile old man.
