then the Bills are doing a terrible job. Lets look back at the top 4 picks in the 2002 - 2007 drafts. I'm excluding 2008 since it's still too early to judge. Out of these 16 picks, which should be the foundation that the team is built upon, at least 10 wont evern be on the team after this year. Yes it's true weve also found some undrafted and late round starters in Peters and Greer. this is the biggest reason the this team is not producing results on the field. Inferior coaching doesnt help either.
2002 top 4 picks yield a posession receiver and a average at best backup DE
2003 top 4 picks yield a overpaid average starting DE and 4th round steal in McGee
2004 top 4 picks yield a true #1 receiver and after this year nobody else on the roster
2005 top 4 picks yield a backup center and a punt returner
2006 top 4 picks yield 2 starting safeties. debatable as to whether Whitner was worth the 8th pick
2007 top 4 picks yield 3 solid starters
2002
