Wish They Did More

In the aftermath of the Bills draft, it's hard to find too much fault, especially with the Saturday picks. Things broke perfectly for the Bills for them to get the best cornerback in the class--Leodis McKelvin of Troy University. They had him in their sights for the last several weeks, and the way cornerbacks move around in free agency these days, you always need to replenish.
Getting James Hardy in the second round was solid, also. He's got the perfect size to help out in the red zone. I can't wait to see him post up smaller defensive backs in the end zone, giving Trent Edwards a big target in touchdown territory.
They had eight picks going into Sunday, and they used them all, adding eight more rookies to the roster. I was hoping they might package up some of those picks to move up, and get the tight end they were looking for in the third, or earlier in the fourth round. Nothing against Derek Fine, the fourth rounder they got from Kansas, but there were nine TEs drafted ahead of him, some of them with much more to offer than Fine. I don't see how you can add ten new rookies to what was already one of the youngest rosters in the NFL last year.
But here they come. The rookies will be in this weekend for an orientation minicamp, and I can't wait to see how they fit into the mix.
