I've seen the talk around here about who the Bills should draft in the first round for the DL. Much of the talk has centered on Peterson. Well the probable non-signing of Adams makes Peterson the most unlikely of draft pick. The reason? He's too small to (this season) play DT every down in the NFL.
The Bills hopes now realistically ride on two players who could fill our void right out of college. Two guys with the size to play right now. The first would be Williams Joseph. He's basically a Pat Williams clone, and strangely has been dropping on a lot of draft boards... he really would be a steal if he made it all the way to us, but stranger things have happened. The second would be Rein Long, and while it wouldn't be such a reach for him to fall to us, we'd have to bank on his abilities to lean, as he would need a lot of coaching to dominate in the pros... a lot of physical skills (maybe the most in the DT draft), lacking technique.
