stuckincincy Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Hart is a good blitz pickup back with good hands who could have been used in 3rd down packages. How fast do you need to be inside the 5 yard line. Yep. I think Indy was correct to expend a 6th on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastaJoe Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I thought if you lived in Syracuse you were Giant or Jets fans! Bills are #1 in Syracuse, followed closely by the Giants, then the Jets, then Miami and Dallas bandwagonners from their Super Bowl days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Totally agree. There is a world of difference between those two 6th round picks. Jesus, what were they thinking? Clearly we should have taken Heart (uh, Hart, whatever) with the 179th pick of the draft or waited until the 217th pick to see if Oman was there. Anyone watching these dudes on Youtube can see that Hart would have been on the field for 10 snaps to Oman's 7 this year. How can they be so stupid?!? Wow, you really told him. That'll teach him to offer a reasonable opinion. Thanks for your valuable input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndirish1978 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I have to say this is the one pick that confused me. If you watch the "reaction to oman" spot in the Bills multimedia they basically just admit it was just taking a flyer on him, which I don't like. I would have rather taken a flyer on a WR or and OL, but then again, my opinion is worth squat in real life or even this board, so take it for what it's worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerstm Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Why would you ever want Hart??? He's from Michigan. Why would you want a cancer like that on your team??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichFan Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Being "Michfan", I figured I better chime in on this one. I like Hart a lot and wish him nothing but the best. I just don't think he projects well at all to the NFL. He's undersized and underspeed for the pro game. He was slippery at the college level, he won't be in the pros. There was no such thing as an "open field" when Hart ran with the ball. I think he's more likely to end up like a Kijana Carter than a Dave Megget. I would have considered it a feel good pick for a Syracuse native had the Bills drafted him, so I have no complaints with the Oman pick if it was done in the same vain. Oman has better upside. It was a 6th rounder. It was a difficult draft for a Michigan/Bills fan to watch. Long and Henne went to the hated Dolphins. No Michigan guys were drafted by Buffalo. But... facts are facts. Henne, Long, and Hart were the star power for a team that lost nearly every big time game it played. Can't blame 'em all on the "O", but their record against Ohio St. and in bowl games is the worst run I can remember for UMich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsurdam Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Why would you ever want Hart??? He's from Michigan. Why would you want a cancer like that on your team??? No reason to be a Michigan hater... Mike has more heart that any other running back I have seen recently. He never fumbles and gets the tough yards at the goal line. Mark my words... Hart will be a much better pro than Oman will. We'll see in the next 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ax4782 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I may be wrong... but I am very disappointed that the Bills took Oman when Mike Hart was still available. I love Mike Hart's running style and dependability as far as never fumbling. I hope Oman proves me wrong. But , I have a feeling the Colts got even better with picking up Hart. The RF360 article attached to TBD today explained why Buffalo probably drafted Oman at that spot. Bryne (take it for what it's worth) speculates the due to Oman's build and strength he would be an easy switch to FB, once he puts on about fifteen or twenty pounds. Could be one explanation. And I would have been REALLY disappointed if Buffalo wasted a pick on Mike Hart. He's going to be nothing more than a perennial bench warmer in the NFL. He was Michigan's second coming of Tim Biakabituka. Good in college, below average pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
