Steely Dan Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'm going B. The first five picks were great but the last three were mystifying to me. They didn't take on DT in the whole draft and only picked one up as a UFA. I also voted yes on the Beerball question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 Well someone voted no on the Beerball question so we know Beerball voted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 It would be nice to see people give an opinion as to why they voted the way they did. Especially the person who voted D+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I give it a solid A. You'll see me complaining about the cornerbacks, but the fact is we didn't pick a pro CB until the 6th round. Our first 5 picks were a pass rushing DE with enormous upside, a FS with 17 picks in 3 years, two highly-rated interior linemen and an athletic recieving tight end. How long have we been screaming for the Bills to meet those needs? This is a day to feel good, regardless of the wasted picks at draft's end. We obviously don't know if these players will be any good or not, but highly-rated players at need positions...if thats not an A I'm not sure what is. Honestly, I'm still glowing in the aftermath of them taking the draft's best speed rusher in the 1st round. That pick was long overdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 not if they kill eachother out Now THAT'S a sense of humor, Steely. I have the draft at a B/B+, right now...which means virtually nothing, of course. That assumes Byrd is a Safety and Harris is an OLB. For those complaing about the Bills not addressing their LT situation, I totally disagree. Improving and beefing up the interior is the best possible approach to fixing the hole left by the Peters trade...considering where they drafted and who was available. Pettigrew would have provided even more help in that area, but they were unable to get the deal done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flmike Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I gave a B+ once I saw the UDFA signing. I'm a little concerned about all the changes of position expected from all these rookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I gave it an A+ because how often does one team get one of the top 2 prospects in a draft at 5 different positions? Maybin - top pass rusher Wood - top 1 or 2 C/G Levitre - top G Byrd - one of the top safety prospects Nelson - graded as maybe the second best TE by many I also think N. Harris is going to be a nice prospect at LB Carey has a chance to add good depth to both CB and S Lankster I think could be a difference maker on ST...and from what I keep reading on him might shock some people... So, we got 5 top prospects at 5 positions and some very promising guys in 5th, 6th and 7th when most teams draft guys here that never make the squad... Thats a helluva draft...FO came up big this year...they have actually had a couple of solid drafts, but this to me was a homerun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingon Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 A They picked up a lot of guys who should be starting by the end of the season. Can't ask anymore than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
