Nothing earth shattering here:

http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/sp/v/nfl/teams/1/50x50c/buf.gif 12. Buffalo Bills (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/buf/) – Patrick Willis, linebacker, Mississippi. As expected, the Bills lost a pair of starting defenders – cornerback Nate Clements (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/5468/) and linebacker London Fletcher-Baker (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/4539/) – at the start of free agency. They have last year's second-round choice Ashton Youboty (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/7819/) on the bench, and the depth of this year's cornerback position is such that they could dip back into that market in the next two rounds and come up with competition for the spot vacated by Clements. Meanwhile, the loss of leadership in the middle is much greater because they currently would slide outside linebacker Angelo Crowell (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/6430/) back inside where he played a few years ago. However, adding the instinctive and impressively athletic Willis to an already strong nucleus would allow them to keep much better cohesion on the defensive side of the ball.
