What's somewhat depressing is the Buffalo Bills have almost the same exact needs as KC and they pick before KC.
Here is a tidbit from their website:
SENIOR BOWL THOUGHTS: It was disappointing to see that Cal CB Daymeion Hughes is not going to play Saturday due to a back injury suffered in practice Wednesday. He's described as a 'cover 2' corner with great hands and cover skills. He doesn't have top end speed, but thoughts on that could change at the combine. I just wanted to get a good look at him after not seeing much of Cal this past fall.
DT Amobi Okoye is dominating down in Mobile this week, but unfortunately he's not nose tackle material after weighing in at 287 Monday. He was listed as 317 prior to Senior Bowl week so I was hopefuly he'd be an option for the Bills with the 12th pick, but I just don't see it now. Cal's Brandon Mebane however, has had a nice week on the interior and has pushed the pocket. Again I want to see more of him on Saturday, but the early signs are encouraging.
I guess when it comes right down to it, I'm still wishing the Bills had Haloti Ngata, the Oregon DT who went to Baltimore. I really like Donte Whitner as a player, but man I would've liked to see Ngata clogging up the middle for Buffalo.
I was hoping that LSU's Dwayne Bowe would be available to the Bills in Round 2 as Buffalo needs a big wideout opposite Lee Evans to take some of the heat off him. But with the week he's having in Mobile he's likely vaulted himself into the middle third of the first round.
ILB Patrick Willis from Ole Miss has been having a heck of a week according to reports. If London Fletcher isn't re-signed Willis might be the best option at inside backer in the draft.
Speaking of Fletcher, the more I look at Florida State ILB Buster Davis, the more I'm convinced he's a long lost cousin of Fletcher. He's built the same way (5'9" 240), he overachieves like Fletcher and he has a high football IQ.

Q: Herm, back on December 25th you were asked if Trent Green was your starter going into next season and you said, ‘yeah, why wouldn’t he be?’ Have you changed your mind on that?
EDWARDS: No, I have not.”
