So i've been looking at a lot of mock drafts, most of which have the Bills drafting offense.
As I see it, the least of the Bills problems is offense. They added Owens and Rhodes in the off season. They have a huge upgrade at Center (although this may be debated by guys that didn't watch him play last season, I did, and Hangartner is the real deal), and the left side of the line can't be worse than it was last season.
BY building a strong defense, especially one that takes away the run, the Bills have a better chance at making the playoffs than they did last season.
Its my opinion that the first 3 picks should be to the defense.
#11- BJ Raji
#28 James Laurianitis
#42 Louis Delmas
My reasoning is simple. Defense wins championships. Pittsburgh's offense was questionable all season. Baltimore has an embarrassing offense. Arizona made it to the Super Bowl because of their defense.
Against the Patriots, Dolphins and Jets, the Bills will face teams that historically grind it out with the run, then beat them deep once. Adding beef to the D-Line, an outstanding LB'er, and a true Safety, fills the biggest holes on this team.
While the argument can be made that the O-Line has bigger holes, my point is this. If you examine the depth at O-line, and compare it with the depth at the 3 positions I have the Bills drafting, there is a stark difference. Adding 3 quality starters on defense is the only way to keep this team competitive.
