The first top 50

Say what you want about Yahoo, but they do some of the most comprehensive ratings out there. The most interesting piece on there:

"9. Reggie Nelson, defensive back, Florida – One of the primary reasons why the Gators won the national championship, Nelson has the ability to be evaluated as a corner in a Cover 2 scheme, but most feel that he will be most successful as a free safety. His attitude, playmaking skills and potential to make an immediate impact will make him this year's version of Donte' Whitner."

Nice to see the first reference to "this year's Whitner." Given the explanation of how Nelson plays, does that mean he shows up on the OBD radar? I don't think it can be completely counted out... depends what happens in FA, I guess.

...and Willis at #32... at this point I'll be much more open-minded about where people have guys slotted. I'll admit though, those two definitely surprised me a little.

Re: The first top 50

With the Bills having picks at 12 and 44 I'm expecting a pretty good start to day one.

I'm so glad that TD is gone. I remember punching my steering wheel when I had heard that we got Everett and Parrish on Day one. I really couldn't believe it. And boy was I right.

HHURRICANE is right more often than the pope, and I'm Catholic.

He came back healthy and got benched. Bust.

Everett was healthy last year? He got beat out by Ceislak. I wouldn't call that a good pick.

Ginn Jr. is too high, Ross is too high, Ugoh is WAY too high.

Overall their top 15 or so is pretty spot on.

Agreed... if Ugoh slides to the second, he would make a nice pick, though. It seems that the #44 pick will be a great one to grab an OL at.

honestly dont think we draft a OT at all, especially a LT which Ugoh projects to.

A bust is a bust. I usually have patience for developing players, but if the coaches thought he wasn't physically ready to play, they wouldn't have played him. He was passed on the depth chart by everybody. Just calling it the way I see it.
