Buffalo Bills Top 5 Draft Busts In Past 25 Years
The first round of the NFL draft takes place tomorrow night, and every team is trying to make sure they make the right pick.
Of course, when you deal with real, live humans, sometimes your best research can fail, and you end up paying someone a lot of money for not a lot of production.
Here Is A Look At The Top Buffalo Bills Draft Busts Since 2000
ERIK FLOWERS - #26 Overall pick, 2000 NFL Draft.
Flowers was supposed to be a game-changing defensive lineman for the Buffalo Bills. He only played two seasons for the Buffalo Bills, starting 6 of 31 games. For his career with the Bills, he recorded 41 total tackles and 4 sacks. Not what you expect from a 1st round pick.
Mike Williams - #4 Overall pick, 2002 NFL Draft
Williams was supposed to be the starting right tackle for the Buffalo Bills for a decade, but he lasted only three seasons and lost his job to undrafted Jason Peters. Before leaving Buffalo, Williams played left tackle, guard, and nose tackle, but never lived up to being picked 4th overall
John McCargo - #26 Overall pick, 2006 NFL Draft.
McCargo was drafted to bring some heavy hitters to the Buffalo Bills' defensive line. He was injured for most of his rookie season and then was a backup in his second season with the Bills. Overall, he played 5 seasons with the Bills, appearing in 40 games and only starting one.

Aaron Maybin - #11 Overall pick, 2009 NFL Draft
Maybin was going to be a defensive wrecking crew for the Bills, or so they thought. He only played two seasons with the Bills before being waived. He recorded 24 tackles in two seasons and zero sacks.
Kaiir Elam - #23 Overall pick, 2022 NFL Draft
Elam was going to be the elite corner that the Buffalo Bills put on the opposite side of Tre White. It never panned out, and Elam was overtaken on the depth chart by Christian Beneford, who was picked in the 6th round of the same draft. After two seasons in Buffalo, Elam was traded to Dallas along with a 6th-round pick for a 5th and 7th-round pick.
