It will be interesting to see how these players fare for the rest of their careers. They are the first draft class during a transition year for coaches and management.
Transition years….. Chuck Knox 1978 Kay Stephenson 1983 1985 had Stephenson (0-4) & Bullough (2-10) coached the team Note-Bill Polian was promoted to general manager of the Buffalo Bills on Dec. 30, 1985, 1986 Hank Bullough (2-7-0) & Marv Levy (2-5-0) 1998 Wade Phillips 2001 Gregg Williams 2004 Mike Mularkey 2006 Dick Jauron Needless to say how important the 2010 & 2011 drafts are after 10 years of futility. The players taken could very well be the resurrection of the team or the final nails in the coffin of the future of the team. The fans are the biggest plus to keeping the Bills in Buffalo and sooner or later they will stop going to the games if the product continues to flounder and all hope is lost… .
