The Honor Roll: The A's
Buffalo: Marshawn Lynch's numbers aren't dazzling, but the impact he's made can't be overstated. An absolute workhorse, the first-year stud out of Cal has already developed into the Bills' most consistent and reliable offensive performer. Lynch carried the ball a combined 40 times for 163 yards and scored two touchdowns in wins over the Jets and Ravens.
With bone-crushing runs into the line and finesse moves in the open field, he's the perfect back for Steve Fairchild's Mike Martzian offense. Meanwhile, in a season where fellow quarterbacks Quinn, Russell, Drew Stanton, Kevin Kolb and John Beck (all drafted earlier) have yet to step on the field, Trent Edwards has already started two games and played well on national TV against Dallas. His 71.3 quarterback rating is OK and he's gained the respect of teammates. Not easy for a rookie.
Edwards vs. J.P. Losman is quite a predicament; one the front office didn't think they'd have to deal with this year. That's not a bad thing. Edwards could very well end up being the guy in Buffalo. Taken late in the third round (92nd overall), he could end up being this draft's true steal. Dwayne Wright's been solid in some limited action as a change-of-pace back as well. They're a Grade-A draft class already — and that's even minus the gem of the group, LB Paul Posluszny, who is out for the season with an injury.
