    Not everyone loved our draft.

    http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_yl...yhoo&type=lgns


    AFC East



    Buffalo Bills
    Picks: LB Aaron Maybin, C Eric Wood, CB Jairus Byrd, OL Andy Levitre, TE Shawn Nelson, S Nic Harris, CB Cary Harris, DB Ellis Lankster.
    Positives: Maybin, Byrd.
    Negative: Wood.
    Bottom line: C-.
    Considering the recent trade of Jason Peters, this is a pretty mediocre draft. Maybin is a dynamic, pass-rushing athlete the Bills haven’t had at linebacker since the days of Bryce Paup. The downside with Maybin is he hasn’t played that much and spent only one year as a starter at Penn State. If the Bills can keep defensive end Aaron Schobel healthy, Maybin could team with him and fellow defensive end Chris Kelsay to give the team a dynamic pass rush. Byrd is an interception machine, finishing his career at Oregon with 17, and gives the Bills some much-needed depth in the secondary. However, neither Wood nor Levitre are great athletes, even by offensive line standards, and appear to be reaches.

            Plus it comes from another uninformed douche who insists we needed to draft another Tackle when in reality our line issues were inside.

              Corey, didn't we have this discussion yesterday?

              Not everything is blue skies and rainbows.

              A difference of opinion, even if you do not like it, doesn't necessarily make it wrong.

              Truth is, everything is somewhere in between in all likelihood.

                The great Jason Cole, the talent evaluator extraordinaire, the guru of NFL draftniks, the wisest wiseman of collegiate football, doesn't like our draft?

                I'm crushed. I'm giving up. I'm done.
                Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

                  Yeah I understand that and when a valid point is made I can see both sides but when the guy is clearly uninformed I can't see any points being made. His whole reason for a low grade was based around us not drafting a tackle high. If we drafted a tackle high I would have been pissed.

                      People who don't follow the team closely only see that we lost a media hyped best LT in the league. When we do nothing to address that in their eyes we've screwed up. That's part of the reason he's reeming our draft.

                      The other is he doesn't like the choices and gives points as to why.

                      Is he right? Maybe, maybe not. Time will tell.

                      But he's not just saying our draft sucks because we didn't address the tackle position although, yes, it is part of it.

                        How can anyone be convinced we do not need a tackle?

                              The oddest part of his evaluation was calling Levitre a reach. I had not seen that before and most places had him as a late 2nd/early 3rd round guy.
