Big Frank Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Just a thought, not trying to live in the past, but that one still sets us back today. The thing that gets me is that we have lacked impact players since the super bowl days and thats 20+ years ago. What the hell has been going on? Last impact DE: Bruce QB: Kelly Last impact O-Line: Wil W., Hull, Ritcher, Devlin, House Just proves we have been bottom feeders for so long.. Stll a huge supporter, its just getting old, can't wait until this ship get sright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipster19 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Just a thought, not trying to live in the past, but that one still sets us back today. Here's a novel idea. Do you think that Mike Williams will pay back some of those millions the Bills paid him because he didn't play up to expectancy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I'm right there with you sir. I tell ya, it still makes me not want to take a Offensive Lineman in the first round. All of them except Eugene Moore seems like a questionable pick. I'd rather take my chances after round 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Yeah Raiders fans (and probably Al Davis too) are deathly afraid of taking another tackle at the top of the draft after taking Robert Gallery second overall in 2004. He is now playing guard after playing left tackle at Iowa. They pick seventh this year and do need a tackle but very few of the mock drafts have them taking a tackle. Most of the mocks have them taking Jeremy Maclin. Talk about once bitten, twice shy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pozitive51 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 The 3rd ranked OT is just too risky at #11.... see Winston Jutice. We can't afford to miss and have got to fill a need with an instant starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stll a huge supporter, its just getting old, can't wait until this ship get sright. Here's my solution on draft day. We need to study and research exactly the guy we want to take just like we have always done. Then take the other guy, because we always guess wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 what stings about that draft is that the 2002 class was stacked and we were about the only ones who missed in that first round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 That 11th pick needs to be a home run hit....for that matter that 28th pick does to. I dont want the 3rd best anything at 11.....to be honest I would like to see us trade down and take Pettigrew who is the TOP tight end.....and be able to accumulate another first day pick.....more chance of getting quality players that way in the numbers game.

He has been servicable, but Minnie was said to be interested in Peters so the could switch Mc K to RT as they are not all that thrilled with him at Left. Obviously he was better than MW, but he hasn't set the world on fire either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Winfield and Clements, so what could is it to draft well if they leave in their prime? Well, for one thing, we certainly got some good football from Clements and Winfield during their first 4 years with the Bills. So if I'm choosing between drafting good and having talented players for 3 or 4 years, or drafting bad and having bad players for 3 or 4 years, I would have to side with drafting good.
