Bills Draftfarts

Please understand I may be one of the only people in the world that actively sets aside time to watch the first round of the NFL draft, but it has much to do with our beloved. Needless to say, in the course of the last week the Bills traded a pro bowl left tackle and drafted several cornerbacks (not an area of need).

Basically here is what happened. The Bills drafted several undersized players who will not play the positions in the NFL that they played in college. That, .govs, does not make a shitload of sense.

Riskiest move

The Buffalo Bills traded Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters a week before the draft and didn't select a tackle.

You can look at this three ways: 1) the Bills are confident veteran Langston Walker and second-year project Demetrius Bell can handle the tackle positions; 2) they might be working on a trade for someone like Levi Jones after the Cincinnati Bengals drafted Andre Smith; or 3) Buffalo's front office doesn't know what it's doing.

Buffalo went with Penn State defensive end Aaron Maybin, Louisville center Eric Wood, Oregon defensive back Jairus Byrd, Oregon State guard Andy Levitre, Southern Miss tight end Shawn Nelson, Oklahoma linebacker/safety Nic Harris, Southern California cornerback Cary Harris and West Virginia cornerback Ellis Lankster.

Maybin and Wood can easily be justified as first-round choices. But the Bills are adding a variable to Wood's future by moving him to guard after he started 49 straight games as Louisville's center.
