By this time of the draft, I'm pretty sick & tired of reading posts criticizing the pros who know more than EVERY one of us. The most ridiculous ones are in the late rounds, like last round when we picked a kicker who can actually contribute to this & future teams as opposed to some guy who will get cut in camp or be inactive most games.

But on the same hand, we can't be sure that Manuel wouldn't have dropped to the 3rd Round - just like Barkley and Nassib - if the Bills hadn't taken him. Pre-draft, most experts had those three guys ranked about the same.2013 "My Should Have" Draft

When somebody on this board voices their opinion on a player, only to get blasted for not being a pro scout. (Note this only happens when the Bills picks are criticized, not when they are praised for being brilliant.) Every year, I see Bills fans on various message boards screaming for players that end up being tons better than the crap Nix snatches up. Some perfect mid/late round examples from last year - Russell Wilson and Vontaze Burfict.

Performance dictates results, not title, and this team doesn't have the performance to earn the benefit of the doubt.

given what we knew before the draft, with only 6 picks to start, they got a qb, and got some extra picks. and like all picks, you have to hope they got it right. but it is hard to believe manuel would have been gone with everyone else waiting til 3-4.
but like i said somewhere else, the bills picked exactly who they wanted...no second choices...so this front office has to deal with the either the positives or negatives with manuel's rise or fall.

He may be replaced now but he served us very well for quite a long time. Plus the Ralph is insanely windy in Nov. Dec.
