Rubes Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 ESPN.com decided to take a look back at the 2005 draft, giving out grades and comparing them to what was originally given at the time. The Bills were originally given a C+, but downgraded that to a D three years later. 2. Roscoe Parrish 3. Kevin Everett 4. The Duke 5. Eric King 6. Justin Geisinger 7. Lionel Gates This would be a big fat F if Roscoe still didn't have some potential. If we can't figure out a way to get him more involved, this would definitely be an F. Linky-poo Minnesota went from an A in 2005 to an F. Nice! Tampa Bay got a B+ despite having the most draft picks that year (5) who are no longer in the NFL.

I believe Everett would have been a good player had he not been injured and Roscoe should be a solid special teamer and spot reciever. I always thought gates had some talent but we realsed him for off the field reasons IIRC. Other than that this draft was an easy F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 it's been a D since that draft day. Donahoe's absolute worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 i will add this though, if you look at the entire 2005 draft, it's very weak. http://www.nfl.com/draft/history/fulldraft?season=2005 between the Parrish and the Everett picks, there really arent many other players I wouldve rather had. maaaybe Jonathan Babineaux? How are Adam Terry and Richie Incognito doing on their teams? maybe one of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wright's Mullet Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Don't forget how they paraded out JP Losman at the News Conference when we were supposed to make the pick we traded to Dallas. Why draft Roscoe when we had a slot receiver in Josh Reed? It's hard to completely judge Kevin Everett because he injured himself in MiniCamp but I never saw much from him when he did come back (out in 05 season, nonfactor in 06 season). Overall three years later this was not a good draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall three years later this was not a good draft. cause Tom Donahoe never had a plan to build a team. he picked the best/flashiest player available. it was all about marketing, and selling tickets.

Brand J Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 The 2000 NFL Draft was by far the worst in recent memory: Rd. #1 - DE Erik Flowers Rd. #2 - FS Travares Tillman Rd. #3 - OLB Corey Moore Rd. #4 - WR Avion Black Rd. #5 - RB Sammy Morris Rd. #6 - DT Leif Larsen Rd. #7 - WR Drew Haddad Rd. #7 - OLB Dashon Polk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never forget Travares Tillman in Training Camp discussing how fast WR's were in the NFL. That's not what you want to hear from a second round pick.

ExpertOpinion Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I believe Everett would have been a good player had he not been injured and Roscoe should be a solid special teamer and spot reciever. I always thought gates had some talent but we realsed him for off the field reasons IIRC. Other than that this draft was an easy F Everett showed no signs of being a good player either. He was strictly a special teamer. This draft was an F minus, and that is being generous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stl Bills Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Uggh, our draft did suck; me and a friend were actually talking about the entire 2005 draft the other day (I couldn't remember who the 1st overall pick was).............it might have been one of the worst NFL drafts in the last 10 years.............check out it out. 2005 NFL Draft Results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flbillsfan#1 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Cadillac Williams is still a Buc The Bucs also drafted Barrett Ruud in the 2nd. The son of former Bill Tom Ruud, Barrett is a VERY GOOD MLB. Alex Smith in the 3rd - the kind of TE the Bills could use. & Dan Buenning a good guard in the 4th. I think Ruud alone makes this draft a B+ for the Bucs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Maurice Clarett (released by Denver, current grade: 40) was the ninth running back drafted in 2005. He has more arrests than rushing yards in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
