    UDFA Haul - Where the Bills fall

    Brandt ranked Buffalo second in the league behind only Jacksonville. Here was his assessment of their undrafted free agent crop.

    The Jaguars did a great job here. I especially like the Scott signing. I think he's someone who can operate the spread or the Pistol offense. He has a very, very strong arm. Hazel has outstanding measurables and played both football and basketball at Western Michigan. Barnes weighed more than 350 pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine and still ran a 5.3-second 40-yard dash.

    2) Buffalo Bills

    Key signees: Brandon Kaufman, WR, Eastern Washington; Jeff Tuel, QB, Washington State; Da'Rick Rogers, WR, Tennessee Tech; Keith Pough, LB, Howard.

    The Bills were looking for receivers, and that's what they got; Kaufman is a good possession type of guy, while Rogers has great speed. Tuel, who has the measurables and arm strength you want in a quarterback, was stuck on a very poor team in college. Pough looked good in workouts and at the combine.

    Gil Brandt also has the Dolphins @ #5 and Patriots @ #10. Seems like an organization has to be very organized and focused to get their guys during the free-for-all that happens after the draft. The Bills seem to do pretty well at it.

    Getting those 4 guys he mentioned (Kaufman,Tuel,Rogers & Pough) was like having 4 extra rounds in the draft. They were worthy.

    Bills came out of draft weekend with an impressive haul.

    It certainly seemed to lessen the anger some seemed to have over the Bills taking that 2nd WR and 2nd DB (Goodwin & Meeks). It seemed those two picks were the most getting complaints on draft day.
