For the second time in three years, a guy named Mike Williams will impact the Buffalo Bills' draft.
First there was Mike Williams, the hulking University of Texas offensive tackle who went to the Bills with the fourth overall selection in 2002.

Just imagine what happens if the NFL gets a stay from the Federal Appeals court....I bet the other NFL teams will be pretty pissed that Mike williams won't be able to get drafted.

I dont think they will get a stay to be perfectly honest with you.

This is such a strong draft I wish the Bills had more early picks. New England Made a great move last year getting a 2nd first round pick.

Have you read stories on the decision?

Basically- the judge said age is not a good reason to keep someone out of the NFL. In a nutshell, if they are physically ready- then there should be no barrier.

I don't see how that can be overturned.
