Did we miss out on a diamond in the rough?

[Sasquatch]

I listen to the Bills radio show on my way home from work just to get a football fix until the season starts. They open up training camp tomorrow and they were going over what to look for. One thing that came up was that rookie tackle and 7th round pick Seantrel Henderson is going to open camp as the 1st team LT. Granted Henderson was a first round talent and fell due to off the field issues, but it makes me wonder if we missed out on a chance to pick up a real steal at the end of the draft.

 

Side note, Cyrus Kouandjio is opening as their starting RT.. he was another one guys here wanted

 

We did't "miss out" as much as we decided that his possible contribution was out weighed by 3 pot suspensions in college.

i imagine there was probably a discussion on another teams forum a few years ago that maybe they missed out on a diamond in the rough when they saw that someone we scored as a udfa was going to be starting at RT for us.

Yeah that was kind of my point. Lavon Brazil is in trouble again too.

My fault. Didn't connect the dots.

Henderson fits into that group well. Doubt anyone screwed themselves out of draft position (and millions of dollars) with sheer stupidity more than Henderson this past offseason. He comes off as more of a dumbass than diamond.

Does the fact that a 7th round pick may start for the Bills say more about the talent of the 7th round pick or the lack of talent on the Bills? This team hasn't sniffed the playoffs since the 90's

the sad thing is we will more than likely be going into the season with two udfas starting at both OT spots. does that say more about the talent of those individuals or the lack of talent on the roster?

Roster probably.

Ask me again after the season ends.

Other teams draft players to?

Well, there goes the neighborhood.

We will always miss out on the diamond in the ruff guys because of our franchise mentality to take risk on troubled players. Everyone knew Henderson was a troubled young man but was the number one player in the country coming out of high school. This good ole boy mentality isn't what wins championships. People make mistakes they grow up. Til we learn that we will continue to miss on late round gems.

Bruh....

It's all about the mother fuggin []__[]

[nagai]

maybe.....just like every team in the league does.

 

Exactly. Any team could play the 'we could've had player x at spot y' game. People's expectations of the draft aren't even realistic anymore -- it's like they expect franchise-defining drafts every year.
