Now remember guys, this is put together by BILLS FANS... It's a step up from Jets fans, but beware... EDIT: FYI, Erik Sanders play for Northern Iowa, not Eastern Washington. Those darn Bills fans can't get anything right...
Not bad for something put together by Bills fans. Though I will respectfully disagree on their assessment of Bruce Davis's run support ability. He always had a nose for the ballcarrier even as a DE and was really good at really finding the holes and plugging em. It's his ability to drop back and cover in the passing game that needs work.
Bad guide. The only thing I found useful was the pick-by-pick listing of teams near the end. They should've compiled a bunch of mock drafts to let the reader know where players are guesstimated to be taken. Also, they're using the old draft value chart: teams are confirmed to be using the new chart that maxes out at 2,000 points. Lastly, it's an editable PDF? Are you kidding me? Damn Bills fans can't even get the draft right.
I thought it was good. I like how the existing guys and the salaries were included. Desides, everybody's not using the new chart. And there are reports out there that Eagles were the pushing it because they want to move up.
I've seen the stories about the Eagles pushing the new chart, but at the same time I haven't seen anything suggesting that teams aren't using the new chart anyway.
After watching tape on Davis I saw that while he was able to get to the ball carrier on running downs it was usually do to his speed in getting past the OT, I dont think that happens nearly as often on the next level, and I dont see him possessing the wide variety of moves in order to be an impact in the running game on the next level yet.

They may be just enough to suffice until he fine tunes his game in the preseason. Really reminds me of a former undersized Arizona DE who was a lot more raw in making the transition to LB. We know him as Tedy Bruschi.
