McShay rates Bills draft #1....

Re: McShay rates Bills draft #1....

No because those picks aren't much better then the ones we did make. Im glad many on here have taken the view that because Buffalo takes a guy he is a good pick, but the fact is that if Miami took Corner or Fine in Round 4 we'd be laughing our asses off at them but because we did its all the sudden ok? Im sorry for having an objective point of view I suppose. I never have said the picks suck or wont be good NFL players I just think better options were available and would of preferred we went in that direction.

I really think missing out on Rucker caused us to go that different direction

Re: McShay rates Bills draft #1....

it would be so awesome if Fine was a total bad ass. he is really the only pick that just made go "oh what the ****!".

i hope he proves me and 99% of the other people who said the same thing wrong.

Re: McShay rates Bills draft #1....

We laugh at Miami because they pick stupid players in Rd 1 , 2, maybe 3


Laughing at any legit pick outside of the top 100 for any team is a bit ignorant

No its not. GMs make their names by making Day 2 picks work to not be scrutinized on that is ridiculous, especially if you miss on better options.

They may make their names on day 2 but they keep their jobs by hitting on day 1 and on paper our day 1 looks solid. Fact is all 32 teams will whiff on some picks in EVERY draft. At this point we can't know which picks are whiffs and which aren't.

Re: McShay rates Bills draft #1....

In general I liked the Bills' draft. I'd rather they were able to draft one of the higher-ranked TEs but with the adddition of Hardy they have their big Red-Zone target, and so an absolute stud TE did not need to be a priority after that.

The Bills' off-season so far has been good, between FA and the Draft the defense has got immeasurably better, the offense has been improved (and with better field position given to them by an improved D their improvement could be more than anticipated) and the ST unit has been improved with the addition of another explosive returner.

Just because they didn't draft exactly who you wanted doesn't mean they didn't do a good job.

No we cant but that doesnt mean we can't look at them objectively either. Fact is if you are only hitting on two pick per draft and not missing on Superstar players (not saying we are, just saying we have in the past) then you wont keep your job as a GM. You keep your job by getting the best possible player at the position you picking no matter if its Round 1 or 7.

Ha Ha!... We don't have a GM so that argument is bunk

Corner - may have best cover skills out of the whole draft.

MCgee better be ready because teams will be picking on him.

The problem is, both our cbs can't catch when the balls are thrown their way unless it's kicked to them

Re: McShay rates Bills draft #1....

McShay is playing both sides of the fence, I saw him on ESPN just the other day and he was saying that Miami had the best draft.

Re: McShay rates Bills draft #1....

Because the Bills didn't get "Their guy"

..who they never heard of before until this winter/spring.

[baalworship]

Re: McShay rates Bills draft #1....

I remember hating the Terrance McGee pick a few years ago because he wasn't supposed to get drafted until rounds 6 and 7. His bio said he couldn't backpedal (pretty scary for a CB) and he was asleep when the Bills called because he didn't expect to go that high.

Training camp will tell us more on the less known players. I love McKelvin and Hardy and the rest we'll have to see.

Re: McShay rates Bills draft #1....

LOL....I doubt he was asleep though....

Re: McShay rates Bills draft #1....

Im still steaming that Rucker was taken 3 picks before us. We would have had a perfect first 4 rounds had he fell. **** Cleveland

Judging from the rest of the day two picks, we probably would have passes on him. He may have been too good of a fit.

Re: McShay rates Bills draft #1....

Miami got 2 of the top 15 players in this draft with their first 2 picks. That's No guarantee for success of course, but at this point all we can go on when judging these picks is where they were ranked according to their ability out of college. The McKelvin pick was a very smart and solid pick for the Bills. I also think Hardy was a good pick for the Bills, but I think your Oline and Dline are more important to your success then your WR position. I think the Bills should have addressed either Oline or Dline before WR, jmo. Your team also plays a Tampa 2 so CB isn't nearly as important to the Tampa 2 as it would be for a 3-4 or 4-3.
