    How Will That Be Defined for the 2008 Buffalo Bills Draft?

    With the NFL draft less than a week away, I was contemplating what would make this draft "successful" for the Buffalo Bills. The past two have been pretty great, actually...


    The Bills certainly draft well.

    But part of the success of the past two drafts has been the needs at all of the positions those guys filled. This team has not made the playoffs in nine years, and was in need of a major overhaul—which has pretty much been accomplished. This team does not look anything like the team Marv Levy took over—along with new head coach Dick Jauron—in 2006.

    So what would deem this upcoming draft a success? Better yet, what would qualify the upcoming season as a "success"?

    I believe that in the eyes of Bills fans, the draft is quite secondary to the accomplishment of returning to the playoffs. Anything short of this is neither a success, nor perhaps even acceptable.

    Agreed. Barring the type of injury-filled season we endured last year, the Bills should consider the playoffs a prerequisite to considering this season a success.

      Sometimes I wish there were do-overs. Can you see us in the PO's last year had we not lost so many starters to injury?
      I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!

        No way we were making the playoffs. We lost to a bad team in week 1 with a healthy roster.

        What games were we winning with a healthy roster? Maybe the Eagles?

        8-8 wasn't getting us into the playoffs.
