Calvin Pace was not the worst pick in round 1.

I agree. Running backs like Edgerin James and Terrell Davis just haven't been the same since their knee injuries. Plus, the Bills already have a decent back.

The Bills have Travis Henry <b>and</b> Olandis Gary. Not to mention Sammy Morris.

Magahee makes no sense for them at all.

I can't stand McGahee's agent, Drew Rosenhaus. He is a pompous a-hole. I think this is his first or second year of representing NFL players after making quite the reputation for himself in MLB.

Rosenhaus has been in the NFL for quite some time now, he always seems to represent Florida based players. He was Michael Irvins agent at one point.

I can't stand the guy either, rumor has it he may have been who the "bad agent" in Jerry Maguire was based on(I think Jay Mohr played that part).

By my estimation, 5 picks were much much worse:

1. Nick Barnett
2. William Joseph
3. Tyler Brayton
4. Rex Grossman
5. Nmamdi Asomugha


Barnett is the worst first round pick i've ever seen. he's 5'11" and about 220 soaking wet. He's nowhere near fast enough to be a Tillman/Archuleta type if they move him to safety, and he'll get destroyed at LB.

Brayton is a big stiff. Joseph has some skill but I think he proved himself to be a pretty big risk in the offseason......lots of downside.

Grossman is a cocky, short a**hole who will follow Cade McNown into the annals of Short QBs Who Are Loathed by Teammates with the bears.

Asomugha is the typical "al davis thinks he's smarter than everyone else" pick. He's just a decent-sized guy with good spee/measurables who is absolutely clueless on the field. He'll be a special teams player if they're lucky.



At least we didn't draft those guys.

Hey Ed., Barnett had 14 tackles against the Lions Sunday. 12 of them were unassisted. He also had an interception. What's your opinion of Barnett now?

The point of this post is that <b>everyone</b> from pick #18 to the end of round 1 was grasping at straws......so I guess the Cards can't get it too hard for taking Pace.

Too bad the Cards should've picked at 6.THAT should be the point.The entire league knew it was basically a 5-8 player draft for impact players,except for 1 GM.
