Bills Take Chris Ellis

You know as much as I do, but that they didn't grab Avril was a bit of a shock. The guy strikes me as a boom or bust player. He needs to bulk up, dump some character issues, and stop getting injured. He does that, and he's a beast. Check out his college tape. The main problem as I see is that he plays light. Rushes more like a strong side linebacker than defensive end. Also, I'm concerned with his high tackles and some personal fouls he's picked up in games. The Bills have drafted two guys with character flags. Could be fine, but character and leadership are intimately tied. Negatives aside, one thing to really like about the guy is that he'll probably contribute as a rookie in passing situations. The Bills are taking a win-now approach taking guys who are ready to play and keeping Losman on the roster. I dig that.

I also think this really solidifies what Bennett was saying earlier. The Bills truly and honestly believe that they have the answer at TE. I totally disagree, but there you have it.

Bennett
When he's not writing, or cringing over a rank diaper, you can find Bennett in his LA backyard with a six pack of PBR, ruminating on today's most significant issues, such as how does Magic Shell ice cream topping really work, what happened to Darick Holmes, and why does Bennett's cat insist on crapping in the bathtub.

Riley
After spending three years in soccer-loving country, Riley craves his Bills fix. Every Sunday you can find him at McFadden's in DC.
