I hope we cut some of our previous draft picks

[Adkbillsfan]

Many here seem to want to criticize draft picks. This guy is a bust and so on. Personally, I hope some of our picks, especially some lower round picks, do get cut because it will mean we are constantly improving the roster.

"especially some lower round picks" like Stevie Johnson? Just kidding, and I generally agree with what you've said, but the draft order equates to quality argument always bugs me. I mean sure, it's generally true, but not as often as some would suggest.

How do you know there are better guys than Easley when we haven't seen him play an NFL game yet?

His crystal ball..

Couldn't agree more on the draft order thing.

Agreed with the OP. The argument for more than a few of the last orgs used to be...look how many of our picks stuck, they must be good picks...but they stuck because we had no one better. That wasn't actually a good thing.

Agreed & there is still another 1 of those players on the roster. A sad 2nd round pick at that.

I sttill think Troup will be a player for us, but has been hampered with injury. Thus if say Heard plays better and takes his spot more power to him. I don't think it means Troup was a bust unless he can't make it somewhere else. I suspect if he gets cut here he'll play on another team. To me a draft bust is a guy like Mike Williams, who was a #5 pick and completely flamed out no matter what team he tried to play for. Troup isn't that kind of guy, at least not now.

easley should be at the top of that list until he proves otherwise that he can cut it in the nfl !

I am not sure he has an eligability left for the PS but with the guard we drafted, he has an uphill battle.

He has a year left, 2 years on the PS before you have to be on a roster.

I'm curious is another team who has a hole at guard might take a flyer on him. If the Bills think he's got a talent to be a starter or good backup we may see him get even mroe limited reps in training camp/preseason.

IM, his ceiling is higher than Urbik, who's a decent player, but a player you'd think the Bills would be thinkign to upgrade at some point.

I don't think the Bills know what they have in him. the drafted him in they 7th round because he was a Gigantic human being and for his size a freak athlete. They wanted him to play NT and absorb blockers n the D-line.

He just didn't get it and they chose to move him to the other side of the ball after TC and half the season. Now he is an OG, who played some DT, some OT in college, and DT in TC last year.

I just think they love his potential, no one is making the mistake of thinking he is NFL ready for a 53 man roster. He still has a lot to learn before they can decide if he is worth a roster spot.

He was activated in week 17 because on our PS a team may take a flier on him, but they wouldn't take up a member of their 53 man roster going into the season to do that unless they were throwing in the towel already. There is no film on him to know how much he is progressing, who would take that risk?

It will be interesting to see. I think there is no way they keep both Dwan Edwards and Spencer Johnson. If nothing else, both are making over $4M against the cap. I think they will dump one for sure just to free up the space. I would love to see both gone and stick with young guys like Heard and Carrington, but both are more or less unproven. At least with the two vets you know what you're getting.

Spencer Johnson is an assist......................Alex Carrington, a total BUST!
