dwight freeny was a reach.. levi jones was a reach... the list goes on and on..
the bills got their guys (mccargo and whitner) that they did hundreds of hours of research on and wanted badly.. if these guys are clearly the guys they wanted, i dont care where they took them.. i am glad they are bills.
and they got ko and youboty, not necessarily because they wanted them as much as they were such great values.. so it just makes us better..
people roasted andy reed for taking so many defensive backs 3 years ago.. sheppard and lewis are the strengths of that defense now.
don't forget the obvious one. The media was all over the Seahawks for their draft last year. They thought both their LBs could have been gotten at later times and they were reaches. Well here they are.....
