Buddy Nix

[better days]

I just read an article on ProFootball talk.com about the S.D. draft class of last year. It seems only two of their picks played at all last year for a total of 370 snaps. The least amount of any NFL team.

The Chargers last 3 draft classes have had the 7th fewest snaps in the entire NFL.

Buddy Nix left S.D 3 years ago. Is their poor draft history since Nix left a coincidence? I think not.

It is still to early to grade Nix's 1st draft in Buffalo IMO, but I will be surprised if it does not get a grade of B.

Re: Buddy Nix

He wasn't their GM, he didn't have the last say like he does now, so your point, IMO, is a wash. I'm not a big Buddy Nix supporter or anything, but I'm gonna give the guy 4-5 years, and then make my final decision on whether or not he's doing a good job or not. So far, given the mess Ralph, Modrak, and Trickie Dick left him, I'd say he's doing a pretty darn good job cleaning this roster up.

Re: Buddy Nix

spiller- starter next year
troup- basically a starter in 43
carrington- starter
easley- starter next year
moats- starter next year
batten- could be starter
brown- who knows, could be solid backup....

this was a really solid draft

spiller- talented but was overdrafted based on the position he plays.
troup- in over his head last year, overdrafted, everyones hoping he can play.
carrington- hope he starts, probably in a rotation, showed signs at end of last year.
easley- who knows. one good college year
moats- has some rush skills. a little overhyped though imo.
batten- who knows, another injury guy
brown- wasted pick. never will be more then a marginal backup if that.

Spiller- when he puts in together we'll be happy he plays for us
Troup- could be a real good player
Carrington- same as troup
Easley- who really knows, but if he bounces back, he could help us
Moats- did fairly decent as a rookie, and if coached up, could be a good player in this league.
Batten- same as Easley
Brown- not an NFL qb, waste of a pick, but most 7th rd picks are

pretty decent draft, but we'll know more in 3-4 yrs

Typical short-sightedness and need for instant gratification.

Oh the rookies Nix drafted didn't immediately become superstars. Nix is such a bust.

Blame Fitzpatrick on that one. AKA Jaurons players.

Agreed, Nix did not have final say in S.D. He was however their head scout. The fact is since he left S.D. their draft has sucked. As I said, I don't think that is a coincidence myself.

Interesting. Since around here our head scout, Modrak, seems to get a pass by many. Not me. When you are the head of the scouting dept. and your drafts suck your a** should be on the chopping block too.

Well, maybe Modrak's head was on the chopping block. I think it is very likely that Nix is not only the GM but head scout of the Bills as well.

Nobody knows how much influence Modrak had before nor how much he has now.
