NOBODY From the first place Bengals? Did I read that right?

[BillsWin]

Congrats Byrd!

[YardRat]

:beers:

Unfortunate for him (and fans) that he can't play in the game, but a nice feather for the rookie.

[patmoran2006]

Oh, and Brian Cushing makes the Pro Bowl as a rookie, but that's OK..

Thanks for Aaron Maybin, Jauron and Modrak!

[patmoran2006]

LOL, Orakpo too

Thanks for Aaron Maybin, Jauron and Modrak!SO did Orakpo. :ill:

[patmoran2006]

so did Jason Peters

[yordad]

LOL, Orakpo tooShould we add DRC to that list?

[methos4ever]

Don't forget to thank him for Byrd as well - to be fair.

And yes, no Bengal made the pro bowl. That will most likely change assuming they don't make the Super Bowl.

I agree Pat...but with that said you have to give the Bills FO credit for drafting 1 of only three rookies in the probowl

[patmoran2006]

Should we add DRC to that list?
nah.. McKelvin was right there with them and most had Leodis the top ranked CB.

But aside from the Bills, I didnt see many others who had Maybin ahead of Cushing and especially Orakpo.

And I guess Jason Peters making the Pro Bowl is just a little bit of salt in the wounds for 2009.

[patmoran2006]

Hurricane is going to have a posting frenzy in here with Orakpo, Cushing and Peters all making the Pro Bowl.

Very fair, and accurate point.

But c'mon man, the 11th overall pick?

With Levitire and Wood looking like they have great futures, had the Bills taken Cushing or Orakpo this could've had the makings of the best draft classs in many many years.

And don't sleep on Shawn Nelson either, I like him a lot.

[k-oneputt]

Throw in Ngata and McKinnie. two others who should have been in buffalo.
Good job front office.

McKinnie didn't want to come here.

[k-oneputt]

McKinnie didn't want to come here.

To bad. If he wanted to get paid he would have.

[Ebenezer]

thread title changed so others might know.

[Night Train]

It's been over 20 years since I watched the Pro Bowl. What a waste of 3 hours.

When will the actual 1st team all-pro team be announced ? That's actually interesting for about 15 minutes.

[k-oneputt]

Just like ten years of wasted #1 draft picks, which usually equals missing play-offs.
ooopppsss.

[yordad]

Lets throw in Mangold.

And I guess Jason Peters making the Pro Bowl is just a little bit of salt in the wounds for 2009.Did I hear something once upon a time that this years draft pick in exchange for Peters was conditional upon his milestones?

[patmoran2006]

I dont know for sure, but I dont remember any draft pick for him being conditional

[Ingtar33]

I dont know for sure, but I dont remember any draft pick for him being conditional


I think the trade was for a 2nd and 4th in 2009 and a conditional in 2010... but i could be wrong, or forgetting something, or mixing info up...

[DrGraves]

byrrrrrrrrrrdd! the only bright spot in the entire organization!

Regardless of what Maybin does, this is the best draft the Bills have had since 2001, IMO.

It is really early but Wood, Levitre, Byrd, Nelson, and Harris all showed me something or looked like they belonged.

[trapezeus]

curious, what is the deal if a player go ir'd but was ready for the probowl. could he play if he chose to or does IR keep him away?

just curious. i don't know if anyone would know that.

[psubills62]

It was originally reported as conditional, but then the reports changed to simply being a 6th rounder in 2010.

[TacklingDummy]

Lets throw in Mangold.
And Ryan Cady, 1 pick after McFumbles.

Or Darrelle Revis, 2 picks after Lynch.

Or DeSean Jackson, 5 picks after Hardy.

Or DRC, 5 picks after McFumbles.

Or Jared Allen, drafted 17 spots after Tim Euhus

Or Chris Johnson, drafted 13 spots after McFumbles.

Or Dallas Clark, drafted 1 spot after McGahee.
