‘In football parlance, That means the Bills chose six players – five on offense, one on defense – who will be expected to provide depth for a roster that they feel is already in pretty good shape.’

Bills take speed over blocking to help Losman
‘No longer should we be thinking of things like how to build the best concrete and steel wall around an immobile quarterback, who had the art of the sack/fumble/touchdown return down cold. What we should be thinking about is how best to take advantage of a highly mobile quarterback whose legs are his best protection against the pass rush, not lumbering sides of beef with feet.’
Thoughts on draft ó good and bad
‘My opinion: Thumbs up to Donahoe.’
King, WFU cornerback, picked by Bills
‘”We like his production. That was one of the big things that put him on the board. We liked that he came up big in the big games for them and played well against their best opponents.”‘
Trade for Henry never even close
‘Coach Dennis Green told ESPN on Sunday that the Bills told the Cardinals last week that they had no interest in trading for offensive left tackle L.J. Shelton.’
Bills end long wait for Preston and Sundevils
‘”I sat here for 11 hours (Saturday) and that (stunk),” Preston said. “But it worked out, and I’m excited about where I went. Fourth round is pretty darn good, so I was pretty pleased with that.”‘
Goldsberry Signs With Bills
‘Jon Goldsberry has a new home in Buffalo.’
Bills Draft Complete
‘In the sixth round the Bills went back to the offensive line and selected guard/center Justin Geisinger from Vanderbilt. At 6’3" and 325 lbs., he says he can play all three positions on the offensive line. He had a sprained MCL in his senior year but says he has fully recovered. The Bills are looking to move him to guard.’
Henry Remains A Bill
‘Donahoe said he was not even offered a third round pick. Donahoe said, "If we could have, we would’ve been interested in that, but that was not in anybody’s conversation." "I don’t think it is what we’ve wanted, I think we’ve been pretty consistent from the start, we just want something that’s fair and we really haven’t been offered very much. That’s frustrating and a little bit puzzling to us. It’s amazing to me that you have backs like Edgerrin James, Shaun Alexander and Travis Henry and nobody is really trying to be very aggressive to get any of those players and I don’t know why, I don’t have the answer."’
