    The 2002 Draft

    In 2002 the Texans took David Carr #1. The Panthers took Julius Peppers #2 The Lions took Joey Harrington #3.

    Like 2002, this may not be the the year to draft a QB that high. Just sayin.

    .....And in the 1998 draft DE Andre Wadsworth went #3. We all know that no pick is guaranteed to succeed or fail. But lets not be afraid to take a QB that we like, just because one in the same draft slot failed 9 years ago.

      In every draft you will find the same sort of thing.

        You will not find the same thing in every draft. The Year Matt Ryan was in the draft for an example. The year Marino & Kelly were in the draft for another.

        There are good QB drafts & bad QB drafts. That is a fact.

          Based on our recent history, if we were to draft a 21 year old Jerry Rice, I;d still see him ready to fail.

            Agreed, just look at the Bills last 15 1st round draft picks.

              It doesn't matter if it's a good QB draft or not. We are in position to possibly have the first choice out of all of them. If he turns out great, does it even matter what the rest end up doing in the NFL?

                No it would not matter. My point is that the "best" QB in this draft may suck as Carr did.

                I'm not saying don't draft a QB, but they better be right about him if they do. I don't want to see the Bills pass on a Peppers to draft a Carr or Harrington.

                  To be fair to the Texans, Houston would've brought out the pitchforks if they didn't draft a franchise QB with their first ever pick.

                    You just know that Buffalo would've taken Harrington had he been available at #4.

                      Probably so. Then we wouldn't have traded for Bledsoe. We ended up with our own bust anyways, with Williams.

                            Any GM that listens to the fans is as stupid as the fans. I can't bash the Texans for drafting Carr because he had potential to be a franchise QB. The Texans were smart enough to draft Williams over Bush.

                              McKinnie didn't really work out either. He wasn't as big a bust as Williams (it would be hard to be), but his career was a pretty big disappointment too. He had one season of solid play (i say solid, because it wasn't good, even though he got a probowl nod for some reason... he wasn't close to good enough to go to hawaii in 2009)
                              My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.

                              MY WIFE SAID THAT!!!
