Day 1 grade an A, Day 2 Grade a ???

[Dozerdog]

OK- -
Just got back home.


I thought TD's moves on Day 1 were fantastic. We have the future replacements for 2 of our most expensive players on the roster.


I'll put my faith in Mularkey, a former TE and TE coach in the Euhus pick. But There were a lot of great picks available in the 7th round- OT's Carlos Joseph, Tony Pape, Shane Olivea, ...OG Shannon Snell, Tyson Clabo, Adrien Clarke, ...Centers AJ Ricker, Scott Wells...all of which were better than another WR we won't use and Montana's best Div 1-AA player.



Granted- something must be wrong with some of these prospects as a lot of higher ranked OL men fell and weren't drafted at all. So if all 32 teams passed that tells ya something. But the guys we picked in the 7th were a bit of a joke. Free agents at best! I don't even see them as contributors on special teams!


TD better get hopping tonight- Snell, Ricker, & Clabo are all now Free agents that definately warrent a look -see.

i hope we bring in snell and did everage get picked if not him too

Day 2, I like what I see about Euhus and Smith(Production). Don't know much about McFarland, but will wait and see. Job well done on Day 1 though.

I don't believe FB Travis Wilson has been drafted, Donahoe should take a look at him. I think he is the #2 FB in the draft.

Pape was drafted by the fish 7th rd.

day 1 i say a c.

i don't think you can really give day 2 grades as its mostly a crapshoot.

This draft sucked. I give it a big F.

Why draft Evans(4th WR taken and the shortest) when the Bills could have had the #1 DE on the board? DE was/is a bigger need.

Then Donahoe gives Dallas(Lossman) almost as much if not more then the Giants did to the Chargers for Manning. Depending on where the Bills finish this year. Quite possibly it will be in the top ten for next years draft unlike the Giants.

Not to mention that there was a good chance that Lossman would have been there for the Bills in the 2nd round without giving away anything. G.B. was not going to pick Lossman.

3-13,8-8,6-10 should be a ticket out of Buffalo for Donahoe.

i hope we can get some OL help and maybe another FB or K during the UFA period...how long til we sign one?

Our Defense was #2 in the league. Our Offense was 31st. You tell me the need?

You don't know that for sure. Farve is getting old. If another team picked Lossman, where would that leave us? Not picking Losman would've been a very huge risk. For someone who dislikes Drew , you should be happy that we have his replacement next year.

[Dozerdog]

Losman was Looooong Gone - nebver would have made it out of the first. St Louis and Green Bay were salivating over this guy

The Defense had no consisten pass rush all year and ranked 32nd in the league in takeaways, while Moulds played hurt the majority of the year and Bledsoe sucked.

I do agree that this was one of the worst drafts in recent memory unless Losman proves to be an elite QB. Trading a 2, 5 and a 1 for him was a huge risk and one that IMO we should only have taken to get Ben. Otherwise I would have used the picks for other needs, e.g., DE and C, and saved that #1 for another deal.

Although...I have to admit I'm a *little* less pissed about Evans after doing a some more research on him and also seeing some clips. He may not have the size, but he is very fast, has good hands, makes the catches and runs good routes. My only real concern is the durability. *If* he can take the pounding, I think he'll be worth it. Ok, maybe not #13 worthy, but definitely a guy who could be a pro bowler on the team for the future.

And I agree on TD. If we don't go above 500 this year he should definitely get the boot. 4 non-winning seasons is quite enough.
