Grade the 2005 Buffalo Bills Draft

[Ebenezer]

No less than 5 minutes after the draft is done people start grading out drafts. That's nice but I always say to wait three years to grade a draft.

So, what did you think of the 2005 Bills draft; the last with TD as Prez/GM.

Personally? It was brutal. Yes, KE was hurt in a freak play last year and Roscoe is a decent return man. But Parrish is nothing more than a #3 WR and the rest of the draft? :puke:

Round Pick Overall Pos. Player College
2 23 55 WR Roscoe Parrish Miami
3 21 86 TE Kevin Everett Miami
4 21 122 C Raymond Preston Illinois
5 20 156 CB Eric King Wake Forest
6 23 197 G Justin Geisinger Vanderbilt
7 22 236 RB Lionel Gates Louisville

D- Roscoe is the only thing that saves this from being an F.

Me too. I'm tired. Could you change my B to an F?

[YardRat]

D.

I don't see anything wrong with grading a draft immediately afterwards, though. After all, you are using different benchmarks to grade the picks than you are three years later when you are grading the actual results.

[DraftBoy]

an F, there is no excuse for 3 years later only having 1 player still on the roster and even then he's not a major contributor to the offense.

[The Spaz]

I feel as good about it as when it was Butler's last year as GM. This draft was a d-. Roscoe Parrish only saves this draft from being an f by a little bit.

[PECKERWOOD]

I went with F.

While Roscoe hasn't been a complete bust, if you take a WR in the 2nd round I expect them to atleast be a solid #2. Eric King was serviceable, didn't he retire due to injuries? I actually liked Lionel Gates alot, was disappointed when he didn't make the team.

[The King]

F....

This draft is attrocious. How many of those guys are even active in the league now?

[hydro]

Definitely an F. Roscoe being at best a third WR and punt returner doesn't make that draft a D IMO.

[Michael82]

Wow, this was almost as bad as the 2000 Draft, although I really think if Everett didn't get hurt, he would have finally grown into the TE we have been wanting last year. :(

I'll give it an F. :ill:

My grade would look something like this:

I did the same - change my B to a D

[Ingtar33]

I voted wrong.

I suddenly feel like a Florida voter, and demand a recount that takes into account my intentions.

i intended to vote D!

lol... :D

[patmoran2006]

Who are the two ******s that graded this draft a "A"???

[Night Train]

Oh please, EB. We're already on to the 2009 draft !

Grade = D

[justasportsfan]

Who are the two ******s that graded this draft a "A"???

Ingtar and Historian but I wouldn't call TDummy a ******.

[bigbub2352]

F- u can draft Roscoe Parrish every year

[Jan Reimers]

Who are the two ******s that graded this draft a "A"???
Must have been a couple of people like me who thought Eb meant this year's draft. Or they are related to Donahoe.

you voted B so you're not ******ed but stupid.




:snicker:

[Jan Reimers]

:snicker:
Thanks for the kind words. But I did try to change it when I woke up enough to understand the question.:nod:

[Michael82]

I was wondering that myself.

[Oaf]

What did the original question say? I thought it was pretty clear.

I thought King would be a player. I give it an eff. Depending on how Everett came through, the best could have been a C-, but he did nothing his 2nd year either.

[hydro]

When someone has their vote changed the name doesn't get deleted but the vote does. Notice how the number of names for A and B don't allign with the number stated for that option.

[Devin]

D- Roscoe is the only thing that saves this from being an F.

btw, good thread. :up:

1000% right.

THis is an F, only reason it got a D was parrish.

[Earthquake Enyart]

Don't forget that we traded the 1 to get Losman the year before.

F-

[raphael120]

When all you get out of a draft is a 4th string WR/punt returner...that's an F.

[YardRat]

Ingtar and Historian but I wouldn't call TDummy a ******.

WTF is up with that? The poll shows three names but only counts two votes.

Am I missing something?

[YardRat]

Note..Pre-emptive strike to follow...

**** you, Lecter.
