Matt Maiocco, who covers the SF 49ers, did a study of the last 5 drafts (2006 - 2010) and rated the Bills #32, or dead last.
Here is what he had to say about the Bills:
Here is what he had to say about the Bills:
32. BUFFALO BILLS
Number of picks: 43
Still on team: 23
Starters: 8
Best pick: CB Jairus Byrd, 2009
Worst pick: DE Aaron Maybin, 2009
Overall: Especially considering where the Bills have selected these five years, their drafts have been dreadful. They made a huge error in 2009, selecting Maybin two spots ahead of pass rusher Brian Orakpo. Maybin has yet to record a sack in 26 career games. The Bills took Marshawn Lynch at No. 12 in 2007, but traded him for two late-round selections after taking another running back, C.J. Spiller, who might not even be an every-down back, at No. 9 overall last year. The Bills have gotten nothing from defensive tackle John McCargo, the 26th pick in the 2006 draft. Receiver James Hardy, selected No. 41 overall in 2008, caught 10 passes in two years and was released. Byrd made a nice impact as a rookie with nine interceptions, but managed just one in his second season.
