The Buffalo Bills had the Number 8 pick in the First Round of the 2013 NFL Draft. They traded their pick to the St. Louis Rams in return for the Rams’ First Round pick (#16), Second Round pick (#48), and a Seventh Round pick (#222). With the Number 16 pick, the Bills choose Florida State quarterback E. J. Manual. In the Second Round, the Bills choose wide reciever Robert Woods from USC and linebacker Kiko Alonso from Oregon. So far, so good.
How did your favorite NFL Team do in this year’s Draft?
Didn’t watch. I can’t think of anything more boring. For me anyway. I’ll catch who my teams picked up on the highlights after it’s all over.
I’m a casual watcher, Randy. I’ll just turn on ESPN when the Bills are about to make their choice. But, I have friends and students who are totally obsessed with the Draft and will watch every second of it.
“so far, so good”? I think the Bills have had an excellent draft! I think Woods is very underrated, simply because USC fell so badly last year. The Bills got a lot better in the last two days, if the coaching staff can design a useful offense. I’m afraid I don’t have a great deal of confidence in that.
Rick, how about Kiki Alonso of Oregon? The ESPN film package made him look like Jack Lambert.
In my opinion, the jury is still out on Alonso.
Seattle did okay, but it was the big trade beforehand, for Harvin from the Vikings that really mattered. We’ll see if they can make good use of the late round players or not.
Harvin might be the key ingrediant to take Seattle to the Super Bowl, Rick.
