Marv Levy's first draft as Bills GM in 2006 was laughed at and universally graded as one of the worst in the league. Marv stressed getting "character guys" and again people laughed. Today the Bills will take the field with nearly that entire draft class playing a major role. S Donte Whitner, DT John McCargo, CB Ashton Youboty, S Ko Simpson, DT Kyle Williams, G Brad Butler, LB Keith Ellison, RB Fred Jackson, and LB John DiGiorgio all will be playing. Who's laughing now snitches? Source: Jerry Sullivan: Bills building success around the class of 2006 : Jerry Sullivan : The Buffalo News In Marv we trust.
It's good to look back at draft classes that get mocked. Levy must have a huge grin on his face nowadays. Especially since the Bills will most likely go to 4-0 today.
Judging how good or bad the draft goes means nothing until they actually prove it on the field. And they are doing great on the field.
DT John McCargo is the only one who I consider a bit of a bust. The Bills traded back into the 1st round to get him only for him to be beat out for the starting job by 5th round pick Kyle Williams. His numbers in college were inflated by playing along side Mario Williams, another pick experts laughed at. Gotta love the "experts".
Yeah, when Mario went #1 and the Texans passed on Reggie... The boos and jeers were coming from every direction. Now look at him, a monster... Reggie? I'm not scared of Reggie Bush.
