Buffalo has an conditional draft pick from Detroit as part of the Olandis Gary trade. According to the Buffalo News newspaper Detroit reportedly gave up a 7th round pick in 2004 to Buffalo to acquire RB Olandis Gary; that pick, however, could escalate to as high as a #5 depending on Gary's playing time and productivity.


Cleveland conditionally has Buffalo's 7th round pick as part of the Mark Campbell trade. According to the Buffalo New, the "Bills gave up a conditional draft pick. According to a league source, it's a seventh-rounder if he makes the roster and could improve to a sixth-rounder depending on how Campbell plays."

[Novacane]

We'll be picking higher than 15th

[MelK]

Yes- but at the moment 13 teams share or are below our record now. Plus, teams with the same record alternate picks per round- right now there are a ton of 4 win teams- we could be picking 7th in one round, 13th in another

[Novacane]

AH................I see. The best I can see us doing is 6-10...........that should put us in the top 10. I'd love to have Will Smith!!!

[clumping platelets]

Why do they have us taking a punter? :huh:

I prefer Kenechi Udeze DE University of Southern California :up:

[R. Rich]

I'd love to see Smith bulk up some more. He's too light at 250; he could end up like Corey Moore or Erik Flowers as a classic 'tweener. Personally, I think we'd be better off getting our DE in free agency than in the draft.

Grant Wistrom :up:


Then trade up for Robert Gallery OT Iowa or Sean Taylor FS Miami, Fla :up:
