IM surprised Byrd is rated so hi, i really like the pick now that he is going to FS

Still absolutly luv the levitre and Wood pick
Maybin reminds me alot of J Taylor coming out of college
Harris cant do any worse than our LBer starter (ellison) and our depth has been here

For rookie impact, not long term.

Of course, you completely ignore that the 5th round pick is in the top 100.

And you wonder why people ***** about your *****ing?

It seems to be the type of place that has random musings. Most of them are probably meaningless, but I thought this might be interesting for some people.

once again, what good does that do us NOW?

We needed a DE last year- we still need a DE THIS year. If Maybin is good long term, great- but we're still screwed for the moment. That's what frustrates me. I really don't understand why you don't get it.

And our 5th round pick being in the top 100 is nice, but he doesn't play DE, OLB or LT.

Yeah, like that really means much.

it means other people share the opinion that there were other players more likely to help us now.

But that's ok- the Bills can draft a prospect and lose 3 or 4 more starters before he's in his prime and we'll be right back in the perpetual rebuilding cycle. No one except me really seems to mind.

Re: 6 Bills rookies listed in top 100 impact rookies

oops- he does play OLB, but he didn't in college. Another project.

Actually our 5th round pick DOES play OLB. He will be moved from safety. He can't play all 3 positions though.

And I understand what you are saying. Why you don't want the greatest long term benefit is what I don't understand. If the Bills were one or two players away from winning it all I would agree. They are not. So why sacrifice 2 years down the road for a fake thrill of 9-7 this year?

No one thought Dwight Freeney would help right away either.

You corrected yourself while I was pointing out that your rant was as accurate as a TopDog rant. But at least you caught it and admitted to it, so you are not that bad.

So, he's changing positions- ie, ANOTHER PROJECT.

It's not that I don't want long term benefit- it's that I don't trust what this team is going to do with the other positions during that time period. In 2 years we'll have our DE, but then Stroud's contract is up and we'll be clamoring for a DT to replace him, who will take two years.... etc etc etc.
