Bills Draft Projection

How badly do the Bills need a big, fast wide receiver? Put it this way, if they don't get one this weekend Dick Jauron could be reduced to walking through crowds of tourists at Niagara Falls carrying a sign that reads, "Can you catch? Yeah, you."

The Bills also could use a cornerback and a defensive end. So this is how their draft could look this weekend:

First round (11th overall): WR Devin Thomas, Michigan State. Thomas should still be on the board when the Bills pick, and it could come down to him or Texas' Limas Sweed, a similarly fast, big-bodied target.

Second round (41st overall): DE Calais Campbell, Miami; TE Fred Davis, Southern California; DE Quentin Groves, Auburn.

Third round (72nd overall): Tracy Porter, CB, Indiana; Tyvon Branch, CB, Connecticut; Terrence Wheatley, CB, Colorado.

Fourth round (114th overall, 132nd overall): Andre Caldwell, WR, Florida; Shawn Crable, DE/LB, Michigan; Tom Zbikowski, S, Notre Dame.

Fifth round (147th overall): Craig Stevens, TE, California; Steve Slaton, RB, West Virginia; Justin King, CB, Penn State.

could we trade down to 17 and still get Thomas? :dunno:

I'd love Caldwell as a fouth round selection.

Don't play games with draft picks. If the Bills are that high on Thomas, then take him at 11. Just because there are several options at WR to pick from doesn't mean that the others will pan out. If your high on the guy then take him.

I think it's a risk with the Bears picking before 17 :( I will be nervous if we trade down when they pick. For me, it's not worth the risk if OBD thinks Thomas is their guy.
