Didn't really like it to be honest. I felt it was very one sided. I don't mind if you didn't like the picks or the Bills in general. All I ask is that you provide reasonable reasons to back your opinion.

Just saying, "they need a QB" "they need a left tackle" over and over again doesn't really warrant giving the picks a worse grade.

I think they got plenty of value with their picks and sure, they didn't address QB or LT, but they got good players to help the transition to the 3-4 and a play maker on offense.

Spiller is not a starting caliber back? Please. Maybe he doesn't "start" in 2010, but I guarantee you he will see the bulk of offensive touches soon enough.

And I don't see how you can think Troup won't be a starting NT in the NFL when he hasn't even set foot on the field in the league yet.

I'd be embarrassed to write that.



"The Bills needed a nose tackle, but Linval Joseph, Cam Thomas, and Terrence Cody were all still available. Troup is not even a starting caliber nose tackle in my mind. Taking any of those nose tackles would have been smart, as would taking Jimmy Clausen, or a left tackle, but they reached for a player."

In your mind. Are you and NFL scout?

Taking someone who fell to the 5th in the 2nd would have been smart? Then you go on to call someone a reach? What?

TigerJ
05-02-2010, 11:07 PM
So, did the Bills completely forget about Terrence Cody, Cam Thomas, and Linval Joseph when they picked Torrel Troup? No, I didn't think so. So why did they pick Troup? Maybe it was because they analyzed film of all four of them, did their due diligence and decided for their purposes he was the best fit and the best value. If that is the case, should I place any value whatsoever on the opinion of some fan who read the opinions of a few pundits as he surfed the net and decided Troup was inferior to the other NTs in that second tier group of four?

This yahoo doesn't even have his facts straight on a number of his opinions. Levi Brown has plenty of arm strength for instance.

Spiller is certainly going to split his carries with Jackson and(if he's still here) Lynch. It probably isn't all that important who actually starts for the Bills. Spiller is going to be far more than a 3rd down and change of pace back. It would not surprise me if he ended up with 30 receptions or more. If you combined that with a couple hundred carries for the season and a fair number of returns, and Spiller is productive in all those areas, I think his value is fine for the first round.

Stroud is in decline, and Kyle Williams is not a good fit as a 3-4 defensive end. Kyle is more likely to play the nose on obvious passing downs IMO. I would not be terribly surprised to see Carrington start, and even if he doesn't he should get a fair amount of playng time.

This guy is correct in at least part of what he said about Ed Wang. He probably won't contribute a lot this year, as he still has a lot to learn. His athleticism suggests he has a fair amount of upside, but who knows if that will ever be fulfilled.

In this guy's blurb on Danny Batten, it's apparent he thinks the Bills see Moats as a rush linebacker along with Batten. He must not have read the Bills' own suggestions that they think Moats will play inside.

He also apparently did not readwhat Nix said about Calloway most likely being a candidate to play the interior line. Jamon Meredith, BTW is probably as much a candidate to fight for the left tackle starting position as he is right tackle, and Cornelius Green is the likely starter at RT.

I can appreciate a variety of opinions on the Bills and their draft, but if a guy is going to put his opinion out there on the internet, I can respect it more if he at least does a little homework. This guy seems to have a case of diarhea of the computer and constipation of the brain.

The only way this deal makes sense is if they had traded Marshawn Lynch to the Chargers for the 28<sup>th</sup> pick, taken Tebow at 28, and then taken a left tackle in the 2<sup>nd</sup> round. However, they didn’t do that.

First Tebow was taken at #25, second the Chargers took Ryan Mathews why would they trade for Lynch?

Do they not need those positions? I repeated it because it was important. Trent Edwards behind that line is tried and failed. The definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. They needed to either get him better protection or replace him. A running back helps some and Spiller is talented, but behind a bad line and with an eight man box, it's going to be hard to run. Not to mention, 3 of the 5 leaders in rushing yards last year didn't even make the playoffs.

yes, they are needed positions but you don't piss away draft picks on needs when the quality is poor. that was the case after 8 picks. the best QB and the best T's were taken. so they went with BPA.

It's crap like this that makes draft grades pointless. The draft isn't as simple as identifying needs and filling them with a body. What's the point of just filling a position if the player sucks? The Bills didn't think any of the QBs or LTs at 9 or 41 were worth the pick and ready to contribute right away. Sure they have a need there, but if you take a guy that isn't ready to play over a guy at another position who is, you just made the situation worse.

Teams spend millions of dollars sending scouts all over the country to get a better look at players. I trust their opinion on a player like Troup to fit their particular system than a kid who actually recognizes names like Cody because the media hypes up his weight loss.

I had a draft board based on games I watched (many) + opinions of guys I trust. Clausen is not some scrub (as I can guarantee you will find out soon) and neither is Charles Brown (LT USC, went 64th to Saints)

Who cares? The point is the Bills know their roster much better than you do and know the prospects (and their medical situation as with Brown) better than you do. There is a reason those players fell and 32 NFL teams have the resources to know way more than you. Sure these picks could end up not working out, but we won't know for two or three years. There is absolutely no point in grading them now.

I'll give you credit, stevenlourie, for coming here, taking your lumps and defending your opinion. It is true that opinions on players will vary from one person to the next. You prefer Cody, Thomas and Joseph to Troup. Buddy Nix and the Bills coaching staff like Troup. As much film as you watch, I'm guessing you don't have as much information as the Bills. Still, both your opinion and the opinion of the Bills is nothing more than opinion. Ultimately, we'll see whose opinion gets validated.

There are very, very few people here who think the Bills will win more than 6 games this year.

In case you haven't figured it out yet, the appropriate draft grade a team gets in a particular year does NOT necessarily correlate with their record in that year. You can "come here and gloat" all you want, but no one will take you seriously.

If you don't want to trust the opinion of some fan who read a few pundits, fine.

But even if you assume that the Bills analyzed film and did their due diligence, why would you assume that they would get it correct? This is an org that has sucked at drafting for years. And before you say "Well this is Buddy Nix's first draft," Brandon, Modrak, Overdorf and most importantly Ralph are still there.

Performance dictates title, not competence. This organization has not earned the benefit of the doubt. The onus is on them to prove that they are right and the pundits are wrong. Until then, this looks like just another bad pick by the Bills.

What does winning 6 games this coming season have to do with how we drafted this April ? A new admin. is rebuilding a 10 year botch job and will need 2+ off-seasons to correct this. Why did Corey Chavous, an ex-player who studied hours of film each day for a living, give us an A, strictly based on talent and not need ? Probably because we went BPA and didn't reach.

Drafting Bulaga and Colt McCoy would make us more acceptable to the media in April and crappy, once the real bullets fly, IMO. So either way, the critics get to cry. Win/win for them. :rolleyes:

Lots of people who study hours of film each day think we botched the draft. Some of them are ex-players too. Why is Chavous any better or any worse than them?

The consensus is that the Bills blew the draft. So, either Chavous is right, or damn near everyone else is right. Drafting isn't an exact science, so it's possible that everyone else is wrong and this will turn out to be a good draft, but it sure as hell isn't likely.

People seem to pick and choose their opinions of the draftniks based on what they say about the Bills, and it's really frustrating.

so you REALLY think that a rookie QB and rookie LT would give the Bills more than 6 wins this year? REALLY?? we dealt with a 1st rounder that didn't see the field much last year. and before you counter with "you play him because he is a 1st rounder" crap, let me remind you that you don't stick a QB at the #9 pick, making beaucoup money, behind an OL that is in transition to get better. especially when you have a rookie LT protecting his blindside.

we'll considering you guys won 6 games last year, and you don't think you will when anymore than 6 games this year based on this draft, then, correct me if I'm wrong, that doesn't sound like a good draft. Rookies don't have huge impacts, but you'd like to at least make your team 1 win better than the year before. Bulking up the line and getting Trent Edwards more time behind the line probably wins you more games. Drafting an elite talent at quarterback probly wins you more games than last year (see Detroit with Matt Stafford 0 to 2, Atlanta with Matt Ryan 3 to 11, Joe Flacco 5 to 10 with Baltimore, etc.)

We were perhaps too patient with Dick Jauron out of a desire for a little continuity to develop.

However, when the ownership brings in an entirely new staff (Buddy Nix had been here for a short time but not as GM), that staff changes both offensive and defensive systems requiring a significant change in the team player personnel mix, I think it's fair to cut them a little more slack. It's entirely possible that either Trent Edwards or Brian Brohm does pretty well as starting QB this season. If that happens, I wouldn't be surprised if the Bills do win more than 6 games. However, I don't really blame Nix and Gailey for thinking they might have a QB on the roster now who could be good if it doesn't turn out that way.

I thought the Bills might have taken Bulaga at 9 overall, but there are pundits out there who think he'll have to play right tackle in the NFL. If Nix agrees with that opinion, I can understand why he might not have wanted to pick him. Likewise, I thought the maturity issues of Anthony Davis made him a major risk at #9 overall. What of reports about Charles Brown's bum knee? I think Saffold was gone by the time the Bills picked in the second. I thought the Bills might have interest in Tony Washington. Turns out no one did. So, yeah, I'm a little disappointed they didn't get someone who is a little more NFL ready than Ed Wang, but with another year of experience under their belts Demetrius Bell and Jamon Meredith might be at least closer to adequate.

Drafting an elite talent at quarterback probly wins you more games than last year (see Detroit with Matt Stafford 0 to 2, Atlanta with Matt Ryan 3 to 11, Joe Flacco 5 to 10 with Baltimore, etc.)

we'll considering you guys won 6 games last year, and you don't think you will when anymore than 6 games this year based on this draft, then, correct me if I'm wrong, that doesn't sound like a good draft. Rookies don't have huge impacts, but you'd like to at least make your team 1 win better than the year before. Bulking up the line and getting Trent Edwards more time behind the line probably wins you more games. Drafting an elite talent at quarterback probly wins you more games than last year (see Detroit with Matt Stafford 0 to 2, Atlanta with Matt Ryan 3 to 11, Joe Flacco 5 to 10 with Baltimore, etc.)

1. A lot of debate over whether Clausen is "elite"
2. Trent Edwards needs more heart more than he needs more time.

Clausen was the best quarterback in this draft class and in a few years I think you'll regret passing on him

Lol, hey, using math, they were infinitely better this year than last, haha, for what that matters.

let me get this straight.... so if the Bills pick 10th overall next season, you're saying they got better.
