Buffalo Bills DeMECO RYANS, LB, Alabama Original pick: Donte Whitner, SS, Ohio State Ryans has consistently made plays all over the field and is our defensive rookie of the year thus far. With London Fletcher-Baker and Takeo Spikes, the Bills linebacking corps is getting a little old. There's no way Ryans should have lasted into the second round.

26

Buffalo Bills DONTE WHITNER, S, Ohio State Original pick: John McCargo, DT, North Carolina State We could have given the Bills' the much higher rated Michael Huff in this slot, but the former Longhorns safety has been virtually invisible in Oakland as a rookie. Instead we award Whitner to Buffalo, thereby proving our point that the Bills didn't need to take him at No. 8, because he would have been available much lower.

I personally think this whole article was a waste of time.

Yeah. I agree. Hindsight is 20/20.

They are nuts if they believe Whitner would be there at 26.

Which is why I posted it. Don Banks got paid to write this up, and it is completely worthless.
