5. I think I know they spent a stratospheric $75 million on three non-Pro Bowl offensive linemen, but at the end of the day, the Bills now have a rising-star left tackle in Jason Peters, and two above-average guys in Langston Walker and Dockery, both of whom have quick feet and good power. Offensive line coach Jim McNally was a strong advocate of signing them both, with former McNally pupil Jason Whittle thrown in for the NFL minimum as insurance.
"Could we be wrong about [Dockery and Walker]? Yeah, we could,'' coach Dick Jauron said. "But they're big men with long arms and good feet who play hard. Looking at our team, and our young quarterback [J.P. Losman], we knew we had to protect him, and the best way to do that is to improve an area of our team that needed upgrading.''
