With R.Edwards entering his FA year, S.Adams getting older and the Bills not drafting a DT in this year's draft, I'm wondering if they might be interested in spending a 2nd or 3rd rounder to get this guy in the supplemental draft:
"Southern Cal defensive tackle Manuel Wright announced Wednesday he is leaving school and will apply to enter the NFL through a supplemental draft.
Wright, a 6-foot-6, 300-pound junior, played two seasons as a backup on a Trojan defensive line that had a first- and second-round defensive tackle. Mike Patterson went to the Eagles in the first round; Shaun Cody went to the Lions in the second round. Despite their presence, Wright saw his playing time increase each season."

As one of the top DT prospects, he is likely to be a 1st or 2nd round pick in next year's draft, so getting him with a 2nd or 3rd rounder would be a bargain, and taking him now would give him a year to work his way into the Bills' DT rotation--in much the same way that T.Anderson has been given a year to do so. He would probably have more to offer, long-term, than J.Bannan or L.Sape.
Thoughts?
