Same to you CIL, great poster. I'm mostly grousing. You and Milly and others make a good point -- it's not like Buffalo took Gino over Ryan. So the 0-3 argument has limited application here, no question. The general point was that Ryan is a legit prospect that could have done well at Buffalo, and he was a big part of the success of the Syracuse program (thus Marone's success). I'm pretty sure Marone would admit as much.
 
As far as the EJ Manuel selection, Marone certainly has a right/obligation to do what's best for Buffalo. No doubt the choice stung for Ryan, but it may turn out that Manuel was the right guy for the Bills ... for the reasons others have pointed out. That's what the draft is for.
 
However... I'm a Syracuse fan, first and foremost. I think Ryan's going to be fine -- he'll get drafted and I think he's capable of playing in the NFL. Whether he's first round material ... I'm not really qualified to say and that issue is now moot.
 
But I certainly don't come away from the draft (at least last night) feeling any warmer or fuzzier about Buffalo than I did before.
