ESPN's 2006 Redraft: Donte Gets Picked 129th

[touque]

around the league he is regarded as an above average LBer
Here,... not so much.

only in buffalo is he considered average. he will get offers come free agency time.

people on here dismiss the stat, but people in the real world generally respect a guy who can make 150 tackles, regarldess of where the tackles are. it shouldn't be ignored. we laughed at the stat when it came to London Fletcher too, and he's STILL a stud.

Poz makes tackles, but does he make good stops and does he get his team off the field on 3rd down? I've seen him in a hole with about every QB we've played running right at him. Best case scenario, he warps up the legs as they go by him. He makes the tackle. With a better DL, he'll be better, but not a game changer.

Interesting how they have Poz moving UP 10 spots.

People hate ESPN when they don't give credit to our players and love them when they give too much credit.

When will people learn that people at ESPN don't watch the Bills?

People thought McGahee was a great RB, Peters was a great LT, and Clements was a great CB. All three were wrong.

Poz is a below average linebacker with above average stats. You can dress up a bum in a tux but it doesn't make him a gentleman.

If he goes to a playoff-bound team, he WILL tear it up. Can guarantee he'll be London Fletcher part 2 if we don't re-sign him.

Ludicrous. He will get burned by everybody...like he always does.

Losing can cloud judgment. There even people here who say if Kyle Williams is good why does our run defense stink.

Darryl Talley would have been run out of Buffalo. We won 16 games his 1st 4 years. Our run defense was mid 20's and Talley even lost his starting job i believe for a time.

Poz is part of the solution and Buffalo would be stupid to let him go.

I'm not sure I would take Stevie 14th overall

[sjwbills]

It's Rick Reilly....

[TheBlackDahliaMurder]

I'm not sure I would take Stevie 14th overall

80+ catches for 1000+ yards and 10+ TDs is definitely worth the 14th overall pick.

[Tates]

Pretty sure without the Stevie pick, we are at the bottom or close to it, as it is we are in bad company

[xftbllfreakx]

Did anyone else think it was a little harsh that they made Gaines Adams an undrafted pick, seeing as he just died?

[xftbllfreakx]

I can also guarantee that if the Pack had known how good Mason Crosby would be, they still wouldn't have taken him 30th overall.

Guy was a bust. Dying doesn't change that.

Goofy concept, but its showing player's draft values 5 years later.

They also have 2007 and 2008.

The Broncos had an EPIC draft that year.....

Doom, Marshall, Cutler.... Doom and Marshall were steals.....

good going on Marhall and Cutler McDaniels.... Pudd.....

[BigMark85]

To be fair, they have Michael Huff going nearly 100 spots before Donte, and Donte is better than Huff. I know it's fun and easy to pile on the guy, and he deserves a lot of it, but this redraft is just dumb.

In their careers,
Donte has 100 more tackles
Huff has 4 more sacks
Huff has 2 more INTs
Huff has 1 more FF
Huff has 20 more pass defenses.

It would be foolish to trade for him, unless they would take McCargo.

yeah, I guess there's no arguing with that.

[Buffalo86]

I found it amusing that they moved Aqib Talib up from 20 to 15 in the 2008 draft. If he would have actually killed the guy, maybe he could be a top 10 pick.

[streetkings01]

Guy was a bust. Dying doesn't change that.

I wouldn't exactly call him a bust........he did have 12.5 sacks, 76 tackles, 2 int, 2 FF and 1 td in his first 2 seasons.
