Chicken Soup

I'll start posting some links and video on the draft. I really liked this draft, but I know a few people who are about to stuff their head in an oven.

1) Todd McShay lists the Bills as his Day 1 winner:


2) Trent Dilfer says the Bills have the weekend's top draft.

3) Sometimes, it's just as important to point out why not to listen to commentators. The Sports Network's NFL Editor dished out a C+ to the Bills, but somehow missed the fact that Byrd is free safety (therefore not Greer's replacement) and Nic Harris is a linebacker (not a defensive back).

4) Watch some video of new Bills TE Shawn Nelson and LB Nic Harris. These guys are beasts.

5) If you want to critique the Bills, it's that they didn't find a weak-side LB or left tackle in the draft. Here's the thing: I'm not sure they were on the board at any point. At least no one better than Walker next year. So what do the Bills have planned? I hope it isn't should-be OG Andrew Levitre, because he looks terrible at tackle. Chambers or Bell? I doubt it. Waiting for Cincinnati to cut Levi Jones? That I like. Or what about new free agent LB Leroy Hill? It would take some change, but if you show Kelsay and Parrish the door then you'll have some new found dough to spread around.

6) USA Today gives the Bills' Draft an A-, ranks them in the 4, and puts us on par with New England's Draft.

7) If all else fails, follow our undrafted rookie free agent acquisitions.

Comments:
What am I missing here? We have a great young secondary who will certainly improve (INT's and Passes Broken Up) with the added pressure from Maybin - and we waste, I mean WASTE those late picks on safeties who MIGHT be able to play linebacker, or corners who MIGHT be able to play safety?

Rather than beefing up the weak spots at Defensive End and Tight End - there were several decent prospects at both positions late - the Bills reinforce a position that is regarded as our biggest strength?

Either Modrak and Jauron were completely clueless beyond the obvious few picks, or they're leaving the cupboard empty for the next regime.

Fuck.
 
Word from VH1 is that the Terrell Owens Project, a reality show based on Terrell Owens and the Buffalo Bills will begin production on Sunday.

More evidence that the Buffalo Bills are a sideshow - similar to but not nearly as interesting as their namesake.
 
a miami wildcat with mike vick and pat white would be pretty scary

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.
