Buffalo Bills: All right, sometimes you've got to be lucky. To be lucky sometimes is to be good. While you might criticize the selection of halfback Willis McGahee, you have to love the luck that sharp general manager Tom Donahue struck in the second round. He got the guy he considered a first-round pick -- Chris Kelsay in the second round. Everyone knew that the Bills needed a defensive end to help the pass rush. Kelsay was one of the better defensive ends on their board. They had him as a first-round consideration, but they ended up getting him in the second round. The nice part about flopping the two is that the Bills get Kelsay for second-round money, and they will get a chance to negotiate a deal for McGahee that might be able to build some financial protection. That's not saying that McGahee is getting second-round money, but the Bills are giving him a chance and he might be more appreciative in giving them a fairer contract.
