NFL draft

[psychobabble]

Bills .. well im not a big fan of college football ..so i only about the main players .. did search around when the bills drafted CB ..and was very pleased that we got the best CB out there

2nd round..James Hardy, WR, Indiana (6-5, 217) .. looks like a solid possession reciever to compliment lee evans

rest of the squad i dont know ..last year we had the most season ending injuries .. if we can stay healthy, i think bills are making playoffs

best draft > cowboys/pats aka cheaters
worst draft > jags(i think they gave up to much too move up on 1st round

I saw the Clady pick coming in the first round. Eddie Royal in the second was a big surprise but we do desperatly need a return man and he can also develope to be a solid slot WR. However, we passed up on Desean Jackson but it was obvious Shanny was looking for character guys and Jackson will be injury prone in the nfl if he doesn't bulk up and he seems to be having trouble doing so.

The 4th round left me scratching my head about the CB pick up however the more I look at it the more I like it. JWill is going to be a 4th round steal and with Paymah and Foxworth on their last year I'm guessing we are looking at trading Foxy before the season starts or only looking to keep Paymah past next year since Foxy will want a nice contract. I would have preferred picking up a DT like Moore or Bryant though. I'm happy with the pick at center but really felt Justice fit our scheme much better.

Powell was the best value pick at DT in the 5th and Torain is said to be a late round steal. I'm hoping he pans out and many are beginning to compare his running style to TD. I trust shanny when it comes to RB's. Andre Hall is definatly getting booted off the depth chart.

6th round picking up Larsen was good for MLB depth and he'll bring a fire to special teams. I'm hoping he turns into the football player I believe he can be.

7th round was a great round for us. Two big steals in Josh Barrett and Peyton Hillis. I'm amazed these two fell this far. Every team will look back on this draft and hit themselves in the head for passing up on them.

The UFA we picked up that I'm excited about is Aldrige (Despite his size he is a electrifying player) and Woodyard. Polumbus is an intrigueing prospect to provide depth at Tackle. I'm sure he'll only make the practice squad though.

I'm dissapointed in the lack of effort to get a solid Kicker or Punter. They really could have tried harder to pick up Drago as an UFA. We'll see how Kern pans out. Atleast theirs a lot of competition on the roster for each spot. It's very tiresome though to see how neglectful Shanny is of DT. All last year our run defense was awful and instead of bringing in tons of DT's to compete he signs something like 9 DE's to compete with Crowder, Moss, Ekuban, Doom, Engelberger,and Mallard. Sure, we brought in DROB but we needed one more solid rotational DT in case DROBs knee gives out. I was huge on Trevor Laws and felt we could have snagged Royal in the mid 3rd had we traded some of our draft picks and picked up Laws in the 2nd or atleast get Bryant or Moore in the 4th and then pick up justice in the 6th opposed to getting Licht in the 4th.

This draft was obviously all about character though for Shanny and all things considered, the defense had no heart last year. Hopefully these new acquisitions bring that.
