Bledsoe was suppose to sign a new contract with the Bills before today. When that didn't happen suddenly the Bills are more critically concerned with drafting a QB. Manning, Rivers and Rothlisberger were all plucked before the thriteen. Buffalo either couldn't find anyone wanting to help them trade up to get one of the top three, or they jsut didn't want to give that much up for one of them. JP Losman comes cheaper. It makes me think that there is a good possibilty that Bledsoe is either pushing to get out of Buffalo or pitching for a better contract.
Suddenly the next best QB availble is JP Losman. The Pack was high on Losman. Favre was taking him out playing golf with him. The Pack staff was consitantly following him around maintaining a rapport.
A high caliber WR was also high on the Bills charts. I think the Bills had originally thought about taking Mike Williams 13th overall, but he obviously wasn't a factor. Knowing that they would have to give away this years second to trade up and obtain Losman before the Pack got to him, they decide to take Evans at the 13th overall and cross off their need for a WR.
Now, as for giving up next years 1st; After this season Buffalo should have two prime RBs and will most likely try to deal one of them off either before or during the '05 draft. If they can find another chump like the Falcons in the Price trade, the Bills could get a 1st for either Henry or McGahee. At the very least they should get a 2nd for one of them.
Tomorrow the Bills will have to focus mainly on defense. As of right now they have a 3rd, 4th, and two 7th round picks.
Since most 7th round picks will be busts, the Bills should look for defensive help in the 3rd round or 4th round. My guess is that they will try to grab 2 of the following 4 with those picks: a DE, CB, TE, OL.
