12. Buffalo Bills - Marshawn Lynch, RB California
<HR color=#003399>The Buffalo Bills have several needs with this pick. They could decide to go after Patrick Willis from Ole Miss to upgrade the MLB position but I think the more pressing need is at Running Back. They lost Willis McGahee this offseason and will need to replace him. They have already signed Anthony Thomas but I don't see him as a starting runningback at this point in his career. Marshawn Lynch is the second best running back in the 2007 draft behind Adrian Peterson. Lynch, because of the system he played in, has displayed the ability to be a receiver out of the backfield and also stay in and block. Because of this, he has many people saying he is a more complete back than Peterson. He will start this year for the Bills. If the Bills decide to pass on Lynch he won't get past the Packers at #16.
43. Buffalo Bills - Earl Everett, OLB Florida
<HR color=#003399>The Bills solved their RunningBack needs with their first selection and should look to the opposite side of the ball with this pick. They lost Cornerback Nate Clements this offseason but should feel comfortable letting second year Corner Ashton Youboty start in his place. They will need to add another Outside linebacker early this year and possibly an Inside Linebacker as well. With the loss of London Fletcher I think the Bills will take a chance on Earl Everett of Florida. Everett helped the Gators to a National Championship and even though he is not considered one of the best linebackers in this year's crop I think he will surprise many people with his ability to play smart and fearless football.
