Buffalo Bills: Mike Jenkins, CB, South Florida
It's likely one of three things will happen with Buffalo's No. 11 selection:
Trade Down: The Bills need a massive receiver like Limas Sweed or James Hardy to complement the lightning-quick Lee Evans. The problem is there aren't any wide outs worth taking in this spot. Buffalo should be able to swap selections with a team like Philadelphia and obtain the receiver of its choice.
Defensive End: I considered Derrick Harvey at this juncture. From my offseason needs page: "The Bills could be in trouble at the defensive end position in 2008, as the guys who play across from Aaron Schobel - Chris Kelsay and Ryan Denney - both suffered serious injuries toward the end of the 2007 campaign and will consequently not be able to work out during the offseason. Buffalo needs to upgrade its pass rush anyway, as the team managed only 26 sacks." Kelsay and Denney are ahead of schedule, but they're both mediocre, and there isn't much behind Aaron Schobel.
Cornerback: The Bills have major depth issues at defensive back in the wake of losing Kiwaukee Thomas, Jerametrius Butler, Jim Leonhard, Coy Wire and E.J. Underwood this offseason. Buffalo needs to knock off the Patriots, who have Randy Moss, Wes Welker and Ben Watson all catching passes from the NFL's single-season record holder for touchdowns.
Once Mike Jenkins is ready, the Bills can slide Jabari Greer into the nickel slot, giving them one of the top secondaries in the NFL.
2nd Round Pick: Buffalo Bills: Fred Davis, TE, USC
The Bills need some sort of complementary possession receiver for Lee Evans. That can come in the form of a tight end. Fred Davis could go as high as No. 25, so this is yet another second-round steal in one of the deepest draft classes I've ever seen.
3rd Round Pick: Buffalo Bills: Mike Pollak, C, Arizona State
The Bills need help with their interior offensive front, and Mike Pollak is probably the best inside lineman in this draft class, save for Branden Albert.
4th Round Pick: Buffalo Bills: Paul Hubbard, WR, Wisconsin
If the Bills can't trade out of the No. 11 pick and consequently eschew drafting a complementary possession receiver for Lee Evans, they'll do that later on. Because this class is so deep, they can get a decent wide out in Round 4.
4th Round Pick: Buffalo Bills: Jeremy Thompson, DE, Wake Forest
The Bills don't really have anything behind Aaron Schobel at right end.
5th Round Pick: Buffalo Bills: Owen Schmitt, FB, West Virginia
The Bills could use an upgrade at fullback, and Owen Schmitt is a player their fans would fall in love with.
NOT A BAD DRAFT that I saw. I WOULD be surprised if we waited that late to draft a WR. If this is how we drafted I don't think we would be that dissappointed........I just wanted to share this with you guys......SO now go ahead and bash it!!!!!!!
I do like what he said about the #1 pick of ours....I really think the BILLS will try to trade out of the spot for more picks!!!!!!!

First of all, you now how I feel about a CB in the 1st round. It's a waste of a pick and not needed for this cover 2 d. Plus we are desperate for a WR, as that is the only main need we didn't fill in the offseason. Waiting until the 4th round will definitely NOT fill the biggest hole on our team. It's a bad idea. I do like two of the picks though....Fred Davis will be a stud at TE that we have been lacking for years. And Owen Schmitt gives us the true blocking FB that will plow thru for Marshawn Lynch....
