11. Buffalo Bills

Florida State
6-4, 252

Notes: After trading left tackle Jason Peters, many might assume this pick will be used to find his his replacement, but the Bills biggest need rests in their inability to get to the quarterback. Buffalo has been at the bottom of the league in sacks for the past two seasons, and Brown is the definition of a pass rushing specialist, who will quickly get to know Tom Brady, Chad Pennington, and Kellen Clemens, as well as the other quarterbacks on the Bills' schedule outside of the AFC East. With three picks in the top 45, the Bills will address their offensive line later on.

28. Buffalo Bills (From Eagles, Panthers)

Arizona
6-6, 309

Notes: Goodbye Jason Peters, hello Eben Britton. In a draft full of talent at the offensive tackle position, Britton is a big-bodied lineman, who excels in the run game and has the strength to neutralize defenders. Buffalo is now in desperate need of a tackle and Britton will help keep Trent Edwards upright, which will allow him to the time to look for Terrell Owens downfield, and keeping TO happy is what will make this offence click as the season goes on.

I'd be extremely happy with that first round.

Me too. Id love a great pass catching TE in the 2nd, and then a OLB like Tyrone McKenzie in the 3rd.

TSN seems to get what a lot of people around here don't.

OT is not our biggest need. The best teams in the league have DEs who get to the QB. Our DEs are garbage - including Schobel.

I love the bit about personally introducing himself to Brady, Pennington and Clemens - I could imagine him introducing himself to their backups too

Another shorter DE that Brown might compare to is Darryl Tapp of the Seahawks he is 6'1" but a little bigger at 270#. I didn't expect him to fall to us but if all the talk of Sanchez being a top 10 selection then it might allow Everette to fall and if he does it be a tough choice between him and Oehr. Though wouldn't be overly disappointed in either one but favor Oehr only because don't feel DE is as much as a need as many on this board.
