First, I would have taken Steven Jackson and never looked back. I haven't watched much college football, but it wouldn't have thought much about that pick. Although, I must admit the Bills extra first could prove to be huge in the future. That pick could be 25 or it could be number 8. Where ever it is it gives us options. Not bad at all.
Even with the trade, I would have taken different players at each spot. One thing that does comforts me is this.....rb and OL are the two positions I am most confident Bill can find his type of players. I didn't like the Al Johnson pick last year either. I was like "who the heck is Al Johnson...that Maryland linebacker fell into our laps and we took Big Al?" Now Al may turn out to be a terrible pick because of injury. Although it didn't take Al long to jump into the starting lineup during training camp. Bill brought in consultants such as Ron Wolf last year and it was quoted that they all loved Big Al. Last year, Billl liked Dominic Davis and Pinner. Tried to trade for Rudi Johnson and Kevan Barlow. Any of those moves would have been ideal. Bill knows these two positions. Who knows how these picks will play and who cares about these day after draft grades. If it makes you feel better put Henson as our first round pick who Rob Rang had as the 16th rated player in this draft before we got him.
