They knew a first-round pick would demand first-round money. It's not like McGahee's injury was a secret. They would not have taken him at all were they not willing to pay him the money appropriate for his draft slot. It's a calculated risk on Buffalo's part.

He played buffalo like a fiddle. He had McGehee doing sprints to show his knee was oh so close. Almost every GM in the league knew he was nowhere near ready and that he could not turn an inch. He also played the phones on draft day during interviews showing Willis talking on the phones and telling the Bills that there were two teams that had basically decided to take him. He pressured the Bills into grabbing him even though he probably would not have even been a 1st round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
