Two Bills Drive

"The 14th pick in the first round’s a good pick, but you don’t know what the teams in front of you are going to do, what trades that might be involved," Donahoe said. "There’s always some speculation, and we’ll play some games where we may do some mock drafts and see if certain teams take certain players…"

‘It’s not hard to find the most glaring need for the Buffalo Bills entering Saturday’s NFL Draft. Look no further than the defensive line, where the Bills have only two proven starters – end Phil Hansen and tackle Pat Williams.’

Dwight Adams puts the hammer down on what appears to be a big scam perpetrated on draftniks around the country… bogus forty yard dash times. Adams said, "The 40 is a common denominator in football, but it’s blown way out of proportion. It’s physically impossible to run a 4.2 and, probably, a 4.3."

‘The AP’s Dave Goldberg has the Bills taking DT Marcus Stroud.’

The always amusing Gregg Easterbrook does it again, spoofing everything from Michael Vick to the China Crisis. With the 14th pick, the Buffalo Bills select: “Bruce Smith, Washington Redskins. Wow, if the Bills ever got hold of a player like this, they’d never let him go…”

‘"All I’m concerned with when it’s all said and done is that we have a player in the right area for the Buffalo Bills," said Donahoe. "The most important thing is to get the player right."’

Buffalo's draft strategy, needs, and rumors summarized.

3. Buffalo Bills: They have two divisional games (Dolphins and Colts) — who also happen to be their biggest rivals — on the road back-to-back. Then they host the Steelers, who’ve given them fits for decades.

Jack Elway retired last year as the Broncos' director of pro scouting.

‘The Bills have four of the top 95 picks in the draft and will address pressing needs on the offensive and defensive lines and at cornerback.’

‘The customers have turned the page. So should the owner.’

‘Armed with the 14th pick in the first round, 10 picks overall and a track record that can match or beat that of any talent evaluator in the game today — including John Butler, the man he replaced — Donahoe is promising Bills’ fans he will deliver.’

‘Partly to stop the jumping to conclusions, to help the media understand the organization’s thinking, and to show that he isn’t as dull as his TV persona, the personable Donahoe is hosting some informal off-the-record luncheons with the media.’

‘As if fans weren’t already excited about next season’s game between the Buffalo Bills and San Diego Chargers, the National Football League is going to make them wait nearly half the season to see it.’

‘Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson has known for some time where he wants to his exact his revenge, now he knows when.’
