13 13 Buffalo Lee Evans WR Wisconsin
Vic Carucci's Analysis
This might be a little bit of a higher spot than conventional wisdom had Lee Evans being picked, but I do like the choice. Evans has been largely overshadowed by Fitzgerald and Williams, but he is a big-play target. The Bills might have had an eye on a quarterback of the future, without Rivers or Roethlisberger available, they went with someone who can help them immediately.
22 22 Buffalo J.P. Losman QB Tulane
Pat Kirwan's Analysis
Buffalo sat in a position earlier in this draft to jump ahead of Pittsburgh to get Roethlisberger and didn't do it. They had to overpay to get Losman as other teams got interested. Losman is an interesting character with mixed reviews from the combine -- but more about his personality than his skills. He threw for over 6,000 yards and 60 touchdowns and ran for over 700 yards, which gives him a different dimension than Drew Bledsoe. Buffalo has now surrendered next year's first-round pick, which will add extra pressure to how well and how soon he plays.
