‘Still, the Bills couldn’t fix everything at once, and the tackle positions remain very big question marks heading into the 2009 season. If Trent Edwards doesn’t have time to throw, the addition of Terrell Owens won’t matter so much.’

‘”He’s a kid that’s really versatile, talented and a good technician,” said Bills scout Rashaan Curry. “At Oregon State he had played both guards and both tackles, and even a little bit at tight end. So (like Eric Wood) another blue collar guy, really smart, a football guy.”‘

‘Buffalo gave up its 75th and 110th picks in the trade with Dallas on Saturday. A two-year starter, Levitre can play both guard and tackle, and became the second offensive lineman selected by the Bills a week after they traded Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters to Philadelphia.’

‘Byrd played most of his career as a coverage cornerback for the Ducks, but could project to free safety in the NFL.’

‘”Wood played guard in the Senior Bowl, so we got some pretty good exposure to that,” said Bills coordinator of College Scouting Doug Majeski. “I thought Eric did very well as a guard. He certainly has the size and I think would be able to hold up. He certainly has the mental makeup to do it, mentally to switch to guard from center.”‘
