Zone Original: Neil Masters

[northernbillfan]

GM Marv Levy continued his “Old School” makeover of the Buffalo Bills in the NFL draft this weekend with some unexpected moves. His selections shocked the draft “gurus” and left many Bills fans, accustomed to the high-profile, “value system” approach to drafting that has been in vogue around the NFL in recent years. Many were screaming and gnashing their teeth, wondering if Levy really is as senile and out of touch as some in the media have dismissively portrayed him.

Great article. I printed it out and lots of football fans at work (none of them Bills) said "Yeah now it makes sense" and "ESPN reallly has lost it."

I have to admit I didn't make the effort to read through the whole thing, but it has an excellent discussion of safeties in the cover 2 versus other defenses, and a real good explanation of why Buffalo did what they did in round 1.

Excellent article. Well thought out and I think is dead on. It changed my mind about how good Marv really did on draft day.
