Here is some names for you…. J.P. Losman, John McCargo, Marshawn Lynch, Donte Whitner, Aaron Maybin, Mike Williams, Erik Flowers. All these guys were drafted with the intention of being cornerstones for the franchise. Heck, C.J. Spiller’s rookie season was miserable, and he was considered a cant miss talent. Is there some sort of curse going on in Buffalo? Why cant the team seem to hit on any of its first round picks? Well, if you want the truth to the matter, look no further then Buffalo’s V.P. of College Scouting, Tom Modrak. How can a guy that has messed up so badly on draft day still have a job? The Bills havent made the playoffs since Modrak came over from Philly. He was the guy that drafted Mamula….. Remember how that turned out?

All that being said I cant imagine drafting a QB with the third pick. Now I like Cam. I think that he probably will be a good pro….. someday. I hope he succeeds, just like I hope Tebow succeeds. I just dont want my team to be the one that takes that chance on him. With all the duds that the Bills have drafted lately, I would feel perfectly comfortable with them taking the safest pick available. Patrick Peterson, Nick Fairley, and Marcell Dareus in my opinion fall into that category. All three appear to be legitimate NFL studs. Von Miller may also be an option but if they went that route I would hope they trade down to like 5-6 because they could use the extra picks. Taking Cam Newton is just too big of a risk for a team that cant afford to miss on first rounders anymore. Besides, Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 3000 yards and 23 TD’S….. in only 13 games. QB is not the issue. Now Ryan is not the long-term answer, but the team will not be competitive unless it shores up its run defense, which was an absolute joke. Any Jet fan that reads this will second that.
I like Cam and I hope he does well……….. Just not for Buffalo.
