View Full Version : Bills need a QB in the worst draft in the past 10 years!

How historically pathetic the powers that be are at OBD.


No matter what anyone says about the relative talent of the picks, there will, in fact, be 32 of them in the first round of the NFL Draft Thursday night.

But not even half that amount deserve the designation, according to one decision-maker.

An unnamed general manager told Mike Freeman of CBSSports.com this was the “worst draft in past 10 years or longer (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/mike-freeman/22122564/gm-worst-draft-in-past-10-to-12-years).”

“When we look back at this draft in five or 10 years,” he said, “we might view it as one of the worst we’ve seen in some time.”

That personnel man didn’t want to risk the wrath of the league (the same league which tried to plug all the leaks (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/03/08/report-nfl-warns-teams-on-reaching-agreements-before-tuesday/) during the legal tampering period) by diminishing the value of the television product, at least with his name attached.

But he did say there were 13 to 15 players with “true” first-round grades, compared to 20 to 23 last year.

Unfortunately the Bills should already have their QB of the future in either Dalton, Kaepernick or Wilson. Instead Buddy screwed everything up once again and thought that Aaron Williams and TJ Graham were more important. This is the same guy who thought that Fitzpatrick was our long-term answer after a good month of football though.

That's why we won't trade any '14 picks during this year's draft.

Graham impresses early (http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-2/Graham-impresses-early/5b760bfe-e9f6-4ecc-9820-9b3c7c423193)

So when the Kolb to Graham connection becomes electrifying this season you won't be cheering for the team?

Of course I will, but we see fluff pieces like this every off season... off of buffalobills.com no less.

u used this to counter someone else's point.

not a strong argument IMO.

So you don't want to see Chris Brown's mock draft?

[Seriously I realize it's a fluff piece, however it was encouraging to read nonetheless.]

Wow picking Manuel at 8 would be a shocker. If that happens they better be right...

If there's a limited number of players with true first round talent, then the Bills better hit on one with #8 - position be damned.

If you're going to reach for a 2nd round talent QB there, just wait and get one actually in the 2nd.
