I don't believe a 70 yr old man frequents a message board...

Well Nix believes after 8 games they move up a peg from rookie to sophomore. With that said I believe his philosophy is to play young players as much as possible, especially high draft picks.

if you knock him for the Maybin pick you must also give him props for the Wood, Levitre and Byrd picks

Until Wood and Levitre amount to anything, I won't give him credit for anything. Just because they started doesn't mean they could have on any other team.

Last year was a very, very solid draft, and IMO, I don't think anyone should write off Aaron Maybin yet, at all. He was a late bloomer at Penn St, and I truly believe its only a matter of time before he contributes on this team. All he needs is some better coaches, and to be played properly (LB'er) and he might be what we all envisioned.

dude......

name me one GM who has never missed on a draft pick

it's real simple, you can't


what the hell happened to football fans and unrealistic expectations?


you sound really really unintelligent, no offense

Re: will nix building through the draft include

My point is, with the number of needs the Bills must fill, he can't afford to miss. Especially a high priced #8 first round pick.

I think Modrak was the head of the draft. Not Nix. Besides that , Nix was not in charge of developing players.

Re: will nix building through the draft include

It wasn't Nix or Modrak. Dick Jauron had more influence than anyone besides Ralph Wilson and perhaps Russ Brandon on player personnel decisions.

Re: will nix building through the draft include

Nix and whoever makes up the rest of the 're-shuffled' staff are going to have their misses. Everybody does, it's the nature of the beast.

if he f's up the 1st rounder and hits big on the rest, it's not really a miss at all

it's a winning draft



you get bogged down with draft status, it's a common mistake

The franchises that miss and miss frequently, like we do, in round 1 are the franchises that suck year in and year out.

Seeing you're a Charger fan go look back a decade ago to how they were and you'll see that's one of the main reasons why the Chargers blew.

The lions, browns, raiders, chiefs, rams, etc are all bottom feeders because they missed constantly on round 1 in the draft.

If Nix was a big factor of the Maybin decision then yes there is cause for concern because it's more of the same that this franchise has done for a decade.

you're right funtimes, missing on one player and drafting 3 starters, one who is going to the pro bowl won't help at all

When you miss constantly on guys in the first round look what happens?

Look at franchises who drafted horribly in the first round the past 10 years and see how bad they've been.

There's a direct correlation.

When you miss that badly consistently in the first round you lose a huge impact player and tie a lot of money up on a bum. Plus as a franchise you feel obligated to let the guy play longer no matter how bad he sucks.

Three starters is a relative term. Just because they start here doesn't mean they're good enough to start elsewhere.
