Bills Scout & Mock Drafts

I asked Bills Coordinator of College Scouting Doug Majeski if he ever looks at mock drafts, projections and media draft previews. I wondered if he thinks they're mostly wrong, or if he every reads a player report that makes him re-think his opinion.

"Very rarely do I every agree with the projections, but there are obviously top guys that are top guys. Its easy to pick the top guys. Its easy to tell the guys who can't play. Its the guys in between that make our jobs harder."

Its a good lesson to all of you fellow draftniks who base your opinions on what Mel Kiper, Ourlads and Pro Football Weekly say about players. Each team has its own parameters, more information about character, and specific positional needs. A linebacker who fits one team's defense might not fit the Bills Cover-2, athletic run-to-the-ball style.

So don't get too hung up on what the experts say about the Bills picks. Everyone called Donte Whitner a reach two years ago. I think that opinion would be different now.
