With the "addition" of Robert Royal, lets be the first to call him "Bob." anyone (including myself) who had grand illusions of Buffalo taking Vernon Davis with their first pick in the draft can now scratch that hope..
Spending $10 million on Bob Royal destroys any chance of a draft day shocker. Anyone's who read my various BillsZone columns knows how I feel about Davis. I said in my column last week he'd be the best pro of ANYONE in the draft. I still feel that way, but I digress.
With the acquistion of Bob the tight end guy from the Skins that pretty much says either Haloti Ngata or Broderik Bunkley is coming to town when the Bills pick 8th. Michael Huff may still be high on the Bills board but Buffalo is already looking at safeties
(for the record, not too put much stock into rankings, but Bob wasnt even ranked among the Top 20 TE FA's according to scout.com)
Anyway.. MY point is this.. I really hope to God that Vernon Davis goes in the draft to either the 49ers or the Raiders in the draft before Buffalo selects... It will pain me to see us pass on him because we already signed Bob..
And Draft fans, dont give me that crap ANY LONGER that we already have Everett and Davis wasnt a need. If that's true, then why are we paying a TE $2 million per year as our first move?
