Fine-ally,a Tight End


The Bills waited all the way until the 4th round, before they finally got the tight end theyve been looking for. They tapped Kansas TE Derek Fine with their second pick in the 4th round. He's a 6-3, 250lb native of Oklahoma. Fine caught 46-passes for the Jayhawks last season, in their pass-oriented offense, four of them went for touchdowns. Bills College Scout Brad Forsyth says Fine is "the most complete tight end in the draft. He's not flashy, but he's an excellent blocker and more of a short area receiver. We like his toughness."
Fine told us on a conference call "I take a great amount of pride in my blocking." That was confirmed by Bills Tight Ends Coach Charlie Coiner, who has met with Fine. "He's a tough guy who will block," Coiner told us in the media room.
