    Nix sucks...

    Except he gave us EJ, Woods, and Kiko from just this draft.

    Not to mention Gilmore, Dareus, and Spiller.

    I am. But I'm looking at 3 solid rookie starters. I'm happy with two from each draft. I think it's real impressive.

    Re: Nix sucks...

    How much of this draft was Buddy & how much was Whaley & Marrone? We will never know, but I have to believe that Buddy wasn't running things as a lame duck.
    Whoever was responsible, the team really did their homework on the QBs-they interviewed each guy & understood that if you have a million $ arm & a 10 cent brain-like JP (I wonder how much they actually talked with him & did he do his Yoda bit at the time) the guy can't make it in the NFL. One thing for sure, after talking with Manuel, they knew he had the brains & temperament to be an NFL QB-the rest is a guessing game, but you have to cover the basic bases. If there was a Russell or Leaf in this group, the process would have weeded him out.

    I'm alright with that. People expect DE sacks from a DT. Dareus is a solid starter.

    It looks like he may have went out with a bang.

    This year's draft was Whaley.

    3 good players from Nix in 3 years- wow, what a genius.

    The only thing Nix did better than his predecessors was not whiff in the first round. The rest of his draft classes have been terrible.

    He whiffed on Dareus. The other guys have been hits thus far.

    When these guys get us to the playoffs, then you start giving Nix props. So far we're 1-1. Too early .

    1) Check your Bills timeline
    2) We've had much more than 3 hits in 3 years. You want proven 5+ year studs but that's obviously impossible since they are all under 3.

    Nix has done a nice job. The Troup draft is the only one that's a miss... And even that one netted us Spiller.

    Nix was good. If he had picked Gronk instead, he'd be a god around Buffalo.

    Troup was far from his only miss.

    I know officially Nix was in charge this year, but do you REALLY think the Bills would make Whaley GM and hamstring him with a 4th Nix draft? We may not have known as fans but the team had to know that Nix was on his way out before this draft. I have no way to prove it, but logically this has to be Whaley's draft with input from Nix.

    Re: Nix sucks...

    Nix has had success and colossal failure. He hired Gailey, he extended Fitz. Both extra stupid moves (hindsight wasn't required). He has had a few good picks, but so far only one true difference maker in CJ. His legacy here is hitched to the current roster and the Marrone hire. If a couple more of his draftees turn into something special, and Marrone proves he belongs, then Nix gets anointed.

    NO! It was Nix. Whaley had input just like the last few years ,but whatever happens to this draft falls on Nix.

    Re: Nix sucks...

    Nix was an idiot country bumpkin who was hired because Ralph recognized his name. That's it! Look it up. He hitched his wagon on a retread coach and a 7 round backup QB and got burned and he goes out into the sunset like he has a legacy here. LMAO. This years draft was not his. You were all made to think it was so he looks good in the end. This is how this organization rolls until the owner is no longer here.

    Cordy Glenn is a difference maker. Franchise LT without a doubt. Hasn't allowed a pressure yet.
