The Buffalo Bills win the first ‘What the?’ for their selection of Ohio State safety Donte Whitner. ESPN’s 2006 draft guide had Whitner has the fourth rated safety behind Michael Huff, Darnell Bing and Ko Simpson.
What’s interesting here is how the Bills probably would have landed Whitner at No.14 or 15, where the Eagles and Broncos apparently wanted to trade up. If the trade rumors were true, Buffalo could have got more picks and still got their man.
Great point. Whitner is a stud, but they could have traded down here. It shows that maybe Marv Levy is a better coach than GM.
