Watching the Draft from the Bills Perspective

The NFL Draft is underway, with the first six picks in the books. Things have gone pretty much as expected and we're trying to figure out what these early picks mean to the Bills. Atlanta chose QB Matt Ryan with the third overall pick, which means he won't be available for Baltimore down at #8. So don't be surprised if the Ravens use that pick on a CB, maybe Leodis McKelvin, a player the Bills really like. Kansas City got a great player at #5, DT Glen Dorsey from LSU. The Chiefs still have the 17th pick in this first round (from the Jared Allen trade) and they may start to worry about getting the OT they need, if they wait that long. So maybe the Chiefs will make a call to Buffalo to see if they can move up to the Bills spot, 11th overall, in exchange for an extra pick (3rd round?). The Bills would still be able to get a quality receiver at #17, and pick up an extra pick. We'll see how it plays out.
