Game Still Hasn't Passed By Marv Levy

[Keith]

The experts had fun with them at the time. People laughed at the Buffalo Bills for the 2006 draft. They said Marv Levy was in over his head as a general manager. They said the Bills reached and missed the obvious. They called it the worst draft in the league, a big fat “D” on the report card.

I wonder how those draft gurus would grade that ’06 draft today? In retrospect, the Bills pretty much nailed it. ...

The article goes on about the success of Marv Levy's picks in '06, and while it was a good draft, I think it comes up shy to the Texans' haul that year. Regardless, the '06 draft, along with the Bills' 2007 draft class, are big reasons why they are 4-0 right now with Levy calling the shots from upstairs.

Good for Levy, he seems like a nice enough guy.
