ESPN listed Bills WR James Hardy as the tenth rookie most likely to make an impact. Sure, it's a compliment to Hardy's size, speed, and playmaking ability. But it also show cases just how badly the Bills need help at WR. I'd love to think that the Bills don't need Hardy to be a factor in 2008, but they do.

Best case scenario for the Bills is that he develops into a red zone threat in his first year then growing into a well-rounded receiver in his second year. But expecting a first year wideout to be a playmaker is too much to ask.

I know we're all excited about the draft and think this team's going to the playoffs, but some well placed veterans could really help the Bills.

NFL.com had a nice rundown of the free-agents still available. I've stated my desire pick up Chris Henry, trade JP, and add Culpepper, but I love the idea of adding Jerramy Stevens or Kyle Brady to add some depth at TE. Are the Bills sold on Wendling behind Whitner? If not, Mike Doss is available. And some veteran depth at the O-line doesn't hurt anyone.

This is a young team. They could use some strong voices in the locker room, a few guys who've played those tough games, and some stability for when the injuries hit.

ESPN has now run two--count 'em two--stories on Bills' rate round picks Xavier Odom and Demetrius Bell, even splashing them both on the front of the ESPN/NFL website. Really? Are the Bills that interesting?

Actually, the story/op-ed on Bell is especially good.

The tapes turned over by Ex-Patriots employee, Matt Walsh, show that the Pats spied on the Bills between 2000 and 2003. Other teams victimized included Dolphins, Browns, Chargers, Steelers, and of course the Jets.

The guys at the NFL network get just a little too excited about the Bills draft.
