We have drafted 72 players. 14 are still on the roster, 5 of them from last year. 29 are out of the NFL or not signed.

It's a minor miracle that this team has gone .500 over the last three years, given the draft history over the last five."Miami played pretty damn good today and still got their ass kicked."Comment

I could've done a better job simple by purchasing some random "Draft Preview" magazine at Walgreens the day of the draft....Comment

This is just what I remember wanting at each pick regardless of how things are now. I also wanted Geno over Ej, and Brooks Reed really badlyNot here to be right, just here to have interesting discussions about my impulsive opinionsComment

Re: Aside from this yrs draft, since 07
Yeah the true awfulness of our drafts isn't who we took. It's the guys who went 3-5 picks later that we could have had instead.Originally posted by Cali512 View PostComment

Compared to New England, its not to good.Originally posted by Mouldsie View Post
27 drafted guys played for New England last year
1 drafted guy was on PUP/IR for New England last year
18 drafted guys played for an NFL team other than New England last year
Interesting Factoid (per last years Super Bowl game book http://www.nfl.com/liveupdate/gamece...L_Gamebook.pdf)
16 of the 22 New England starters were drafted by the Patriots, or signed as UDFA by the Patriots
4 of the 22 were from other teams
2 of the 22 were former Buffalo Bills - Hogan & Allen BranchComment

Re: Aside from this yrs draft, since 07
I would like to know how many of our draft picks are still playing for other teams.
That's the tell-tale stat.Comment

Yeah... would say a lot about our culture, ability to develop players, free agent decisions, etcOriginally posted by Historian View Post
A few years ago we were at the top of the league in this stat. Bills had drafted more starting players in the NFL than any other team, most were playing for other teams. I cant remember what year they put that on the broadcast. Maybe 2014? That of course does not include the ability to draft stars, just decent players.... but also showed how we let home grown talent leave and become better elsewhere. Peters, Lynch are good examples of top 5 guys at their positions we discarded to keep re-signing the Chris Kelsay's of the world.Comment

Re: Aside from this yrs draft, since 07
From 07 til now, there are 18 guys the Bills drafted who play for other teams. 8 likely starters. And then guys like TJ Graham who is somehow fighting for a roster spot with the Panthers.
Let's just do away with the delusion that the Bills are some farm team for the rest of the NFL, they just don't draft well.Comment

It's only a delusion if the stats dont back it up. Last time I saw all the numbers for the league we were at the top of the list.Originally posted by Mr. Pink View PostComment
