Pick surrendered for Bledsoe is #14...

[itsandthings]

Buffalo, San Diego and Kansas City all finished 8-8. The Buffalo pick, traded to New England for Drew Bledsoe, is #14 due to a worse SOS.

The 8-8 teams are ordered as follows:

#14 New England (from Buffalo) - .473 SOS
#15 San Diego - .492 SOS
#16 Kansas City - .527 SOS

The Pats own pick is #19. They finished ahead of Denver in SOS, but behind Miami (New Orleans pick) and New Orleans.

The non-playoff 9-7 teams are ordered as follows:

#17 New Orleans - .502 or .498 SOS depending on outcome of tonight's game
#18 New Orleans (from Miami) - .508 SOS
#19 New England - .525 SOS
#20 Denver - .527 SOS

Also, Buffalo's first pick on draft day should be #46 in the 2nd round.

With the 46th pick in the 2003 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills select.........DT Kevin Williams, Oklahoma St.

what day is the draft, or has it been anounced yet? hehe...i must get work off for that day!!

People seemed to want the pick to be as high as possible to spite New England. But in retrospect, that's kinda dumb. It only hurts us in Rds 2-7.

You have to wait and see what's available at that spot before putting a final grade on the trade, but Buffalo made out like a bandit.

draft day is always on a saturday and sunday.. you wont need to take off work.. unless you work weekends that is.. and it always seems to fall behind my birthday on April 13th.. so some weekend right around tthere.

Knowing the Pats, they'll draft two more TEs with their 2 #1 picks.

dont you think he'll be available in the 3rd round CP? it would be nice to pick Boss Bailey or DJ Williams in the 2nd and Kevin Williams in the 3rd.

What ever happened to that Pig Prather guy you all wanted last year?

[clumping platelets]

I doubt Kevin Williams makes it to our pick in rd 3. I like DJ Williams but Bailey is smaller than advertised
