I Wish We Had More Cornerbacks

Why do I think if this team had three more picks we'd have picked three more cornerbacks. Hell maybe we could convert them to linebackers or ends. Do the Bills think they're really strong at linebacker?? Because I think their linebackers suck. I'm really not a big fan of 220 pound linebackers. They don't scare anybody. I know you can't address everything but we drafted 6 cornerbacks in two years. I'd rather have linebacker projects then slow corners that can't play in the NFL.

Keep an eye out for the undrafted FA signings

Usually in the last two rounds, teams tend to take players with high potentials over the consistent guys because they know that they can get the latter type in FA after the draft. Teams take the “best player available” BUT they decide who the best player available is and with a former DB as your head coach you have to expect that he values DBs a little more than any other position all other things equal. So the Bills took the highest guys on their draft board, which of course over values DBs. Probably another reason why they drafted Byrd. In any case, I don’t think this guy will make the roster anyways, but if he does, he’ll prove to be a steal. That’s what teams generally go for in the last rounds.

yeah i saw that OLB FOLLETT from Cal was still on the board, i couldn't believe how far freeman fell, and was a bit suprised we took harris over him

all and all i’m happy w/ the draft, a little suprised w/ the 2 guards, and was really pissed after taking byrd in round 2, but looking at the draft as a whole now a couple things i like are wood, maybin, and nelson.. and i do think that harris may be a steal as well,, seems like a great football player, just may take a little bit of time to convert to OLB at the pro level.

Rec-d

Just for the funny title. Made me laugh inside.

Agreed, the title cracked me up. I think MrFurious has some misplaced anger, though. We’re talking about a 6th and 7th round pick.

You're Right

I wanted this to be the draft for BIG people. I’m tired of drafting safeties, corners, and receivers. I like the draft overall and am hoping that Alvin Bowen has something for us this year.
