Ask Derek Schouman if he's a tight end or a fullback, and he'll properly answer, "Yes." The Bills, searching for blocking versatility among their ball handlers, are attempting to stockpile players who aren't wed to their offensive positions, and Schouman -- hopefully for Buffalo -- will epitomize the flexibility the coaching staff desires by making the team both at his native tight end and as a guy in the mix at fullback.
Buffalo is focused on having roster two-for-ones, and Schouman could fill the bill as a player able to block and field checkdown passes from the end of the line and also take on defenders in the backfield as a rush-blocking fullback. Of course, any production obtained from a final-round pick will be a bonus, and if General Manager Marv Levy grabbed someone who brings depth and can back up two positions, one of the team's later picks could prove to be as promising in his own way as the earlier ones.
