As it stands with our track record, if you were a draft prospect would you want to be drafted by the Bills?. It kind of take me back when Gilmore got drafted and he had that look oh S**t look on his face.

it's easy for us to think that because we fans have been suffering for numerous years. i'm sure they have teams they want to be drafted by but i don't think too many will take the Eli Manning route.
Another " Look At Me Cry " thread.
We're like the Russian front threat from Hogan's Heroes.
I would love to be drafted by the Bills. I've been a fan of this team my whole life. So why wouldn't I want to be drafted by them?Quote:

These threads are so freakin stupid yet two or three times a year some dolt starts one.
I do remember that day when Gilmore's name was called. I said the same thing to myself. I was like damn he just got drafted in the Top 10 of the NFL Draft and he doesn't seem the least bit excited about it. I was like he must not be very happy that Buffalo drafted him.Quote:

As much as it pains me to say this, if I were in that position I would be thrilled to get drafted by anybody, including Miami, Dallas or New England.
thanks, and who are you?Quote:

What a steaming pile of self-righteous drivel.Quote:

that doesn't happen in Buffalo and hasn't in well over a decade.
and people know it.
I remember Mike Lodish once telling me that he absolutely loved Buffalo. Food, nightlife, the way the team was the centerpiece of the community, but especially because his money went so much further here, as opposed to his native California.
Alas, that was then.
If I'm confident in my ability and talent, it wouldn't matter what team drafted me. I would come in thinking maybe I'm one of the missing pieces to turning the Team's fortunes around. JMOQuote:

Imagine that your one of the best college prospects, would you want to be drafted by the Browns, or Jacksonville?Quote:

Also, if the Bills haven't been drafting well, there is the possibility that we drafted you too high, in which case you will see more money because Buffalo drafted you. Somebody like Aaron Maybin should have been absolutely thrilled to be drafted by Buffalo, for example. In any case, the worst teams pick first by design anyway.
If anybody sulks or has any other attitude than the confidence he can help turn the team around here, I don't want him anyway.
If the players suck and the organization sucks, like the OP seems to allude to, then they are right where they belong anyway, right pal?
Rookies fresh off the line should be thrilled to be drafted anywhere.
Totally agree. Your lifelong dream is to get into the NFL and your going to be disappointed because you're drafted by a certain team, I think not. Aside from the fact that these players have been interviewed by the team and know that there's a possibility that they could end up there and I would guarantee that the question is asked, how would you feel about playing for this team, where as 99.9% probably say something such as they would be thrilled, why, because their dream is about to come true.Quote:
