Here to take my lumps
When Whitner declaired for the draft I thought the move was foolish... I figured he would go in the second round... maybe top of the third round.
He went #8 overall... congrats and good for him!!!!! Two Buckeye's in the top ten!!!! Who would have thought??
I'm here to eat crow...

Whitner never would have seen the 3rd round, early 2nd at worst. I still cant believe he got picked at 8 though.

Even if he did end up in the third... He did what he thought was the right move for him.
He obviously worked very hard to work his way up to that no. 8 spot. Congrats to him.
The Bills sure love them some Ohio State DBs, don't they?

And I would like to think our guys understand that, but there's only one demonstration of understanding that and that's at 12:00 noon on Saturday.

smitty,
remember my comments were when he declaired... the comments were not made last week (or even after the combine for that matter). Today it was a given he would go in the first. A few months ago I thought he was nuts turning pro...

Yes they do considering that Youboty went there in the 3rd round. Amazing that half of our secondary last year went to one team. | |
