Bills' second-round pick getting rave reviews

[Dozerdog]

By BOB DICESARE

I have seen the future and it's electric. It's a short throw turned into a long, frenetic touchdown jaunt that leaves mouths agape. It's a punt return low on potential that concludes with an improbable end zone celebration. There's fast and there's quick and then there's Roscoe Parrish, who's so far ahead of the game he could make hay before the harvest.
You'd have thought there'd be no immediate impact players left by the time the Buffalo Bills drafted last Saturday, no one who could demand opponents account for his presence on every single play. How do you get someone that explosive at 55th overall unless you've stowed him in a cave?

But everyone was so mad we picked him!!!!!

I wasnt mad i love the pick we dont need OL as much with Losman as our Qb.

Reading that article gets me pumped for the season. This offense is going to by very explosive.

If this guy reaches 75% of the implied talent and obvious enthusiasm of this report, I will be extremely happy with this pick.
Last year I used to sit up a little higher while we were returning punts.
This year I may stand for all of them.

See if other ST coaches Belichick out and stick every punt out of bounds by game three.

[Jan Reimers]

Great stuff, but it's really too early to get too high - or low - about any player or position.

This board is really funny, though. We go from hate to love in the blink of a minicamp report.

I for one was really shocked when I saw his name go across ESPNs draft ticker. My first thought was "WTF????" But then when I remembered watching Parish beat my beloved Gators in the Peach Bowl with a 70+ yard punt return, I kind of got a smile. I have watched this guy for a couple of years now and he is fast, fast, fast! And very elusive too. I think we are going to be very happy with this pick. I see him taking over punt return duties and sharing kick returns with McGee.

It doesnt matter. TD made the wrong pick. We should have taken an OL even though the Bills did not have one graded near 55.

It certainly could be. Our offense has gotten a lot faster. Drew's gone, not to mention JP has got some wheels, Lee, Roscoe, Willis, Moulds, Euhus/Everett are pretty fast for TEs (I think anyways). Combine that with Mularkey's creative play-calling and you've got a pretty explosive offense. The only question is how long it takes for them to gel. Could and should be a very exciting year!

Get your Roscoe jerseys now.

Great strategy- keep drafting guys a round or two ahead of their talent level out of need.

We need more 4th rounders with our 2nd round pick. Then you end up with a roster filled with reaches and busts

Everyone gets mad regardless of who is picked.

i couldnt have said it better myself! i loved both the 2nd and 3rd round picks its about time we start scoring with the o not the d and if offensive particularly wr and TE where best available that is right move!

[ShadowHawk7]

Now all we have to do is to cross our fingers that Gandy will be a good starter at LT, and we should have an offense to contend with again.
