    Shawn Nelson and some random thoughts

    Love the pick. Just saw some highlights. Combine was great. Can go over the top and make some difficult catches in traffic. ran a 4.52. he is 6'5''.

    I love the pick I can't wait to see how he improves our offense.

    You really need to sit down and think about it, but this draft made us better on offense by a good margin.

    With a WR corp of T.O, Evans, Reed, Johnson and Hardy.

    One of the best RB trios I have ever seen in Lynch, Jackson and Rhodes.

    A QB who is somewhat competent.

    A new flashy TE with some great athletic ability.

    An O-line that looks pretty solid on paper, Id love to see it look something like this: Butler, Levitre, Wood, Hangnarter and Walker... Levitre is the best guard in the draft and was worth a 2nd swapped for our third and one of our fourths.

    There really is no excuse of having a lack of weapons now. Trent has, as John Gruden says, "The best WR corps in the league" and 3 serviceable and talented RBs and a TE.


    The defense may have improved too, It all hangs on Maybin. If he provides a pass rush, we are better. Alot better with Schobel back

    If Bryd contributes at FS, we have a ball hawk in the backfield. He's growing on me.

    This is a solid draft thus far. Even the Nic Harris pick provides depth at OLB.

    We are a better team for it.


    I think Shawn Nelson will be a fan favorite of this year's draft. Although the Wood pick intrigues me. He could be the center for our offense for years to come. I don't like the fact that they want him at guard...


    At first glance,MY OPINION was that this draft was a failure. But I let the picks sink in and thought about it, and I see that it was very successful.

    The offense really has no excuse but to perform and our defense has a chance to be very good with Schobel back and Maybin on 3rd downs.


    I like it. There are some things I would have done differently, but I am satisfied with the direction we took.

    Umm, I never thought this draft was failure...just didn't agree with the pick of Byrd. Who knows...maybe he'll prove to be worth the pick.

        How can it go from failure to success just by thinking about it? A draft is just a draft.. success or failure will be determined years from now not today.

        its only entertainment at this point.. sort of waiting for them to call your lottery number to see if you won....

        only a few players in this entire draft are going to make any real difference in the leage.

        we got solid players... but so did every other team.

        we still got crap for coaching
        In my day we did not have self-esteem... we had self-respect, and no more of it then we earned.

          Line is much improved and has potential, RB's WR's are great, Nelson can be good..

          I honestly think our weakest point on offense is Trent...

            I did. I thought that we should have taken three different players with our top three picks, but I changed my initial prejudices.

              i like the draft, i'm just a little concerned that nearly everyone we picked is going to be playing out of their natural (college) position

                I've always been excitable, but i dont think I have said much negative about the draft in any other thread unlike some people.

                  The year is really in the hands of trent and the coaches.

                      Seemed like there was a boatload of these pass catching TE's in this draft and this guy has some wheels to go with his height.

                      He could be anything but it shows we didn't need to reach early for a TE, when Lineman were a far higher priority.

                      Even getting a higher rated Byrd to play Safety was a better move than TE.

                      The rest of these picks from Rounds 5-7 are all longshots, as expected.

                        This is the guy I was hoping the Bills would pick coming in to this draft...never thought he'd be there where we ended up taking him. Very excited to see what he brings to the offense.

                          It's impossible to say how the line will do. Two rookies who may start right away ... A C becoming a full-time starter for the first time ... Walker potentially moving ... Butler potentially moving ... a wild-card project in Bell .....
                          Just because some people here can type a hypothetical lineup doesn't mean the line is solved. They have to actually play pretty well, too.
                          Just as it's way too early to condemn the season, it's also way to early to celebrate it.

                            I think that the inside of our OL is going to be solid for years. Quick passes, and running up the gut. Who needs tackles?

                              Here is what Chris Brown thinks of Nelson and I think he is right...

                              Nelson might be best pick so far

                              By Chris Brown - Posted April 26th, 2009
                              What a fantastic value the Bills got in Shawn Nelson in round 4. In terms of talent and value this might be Buffalo’s best pick so far this weekend.
                              The guy ran a 4.52 and is a pretty polished route runner, so I anticipate him contributing in the passing game right away. Trent is going to love throwing to this guy.
                              This guy is a difference maker in the passing game, and the kind of player that answers Ralph Wilson’s request for more talent. Nelson is talent personified.
