the overall picture of the drafts over the past few years is good.
But nothing wrong with hand picking a few. The Robinson has basically nullified the trade with the Redskins for RG3. Get a top playmaker with that #2 pick to go with Gurley and Donald and the Rams are so much better.
I hear this argument on the board repeatedly but to be honest, imo the player we would have drafted in lieu of GRob, Sammy Watkins hasn't really outperformed Robinson in any substantial way, whether that is because of injuries so be it and it is an apples to oranges argument but I haven 't seen Sammy contribute any great amount more to win shares for the Bills than GRob has for the Rams. Now Odell is another player entirely but it was a Sammy or GRob debate at the time and were we to magically switch then maybe we are better in the receiving corp but worse on the OL. Starting LT's are even harder to find than #1 WR's because I can count quite a few very good #1 type wr's in the last few years but how many pro bowl possible LT's in the same time span? Not saying that I wouldn't take Sammy on our team but the difference between what we thought he would be and what he has actually done is similar to the same argument went GRob.
