Could LB Curry be option for Bills at 11?
With the rapid ascent of USC QB Mark Sanchez into the top 10 and Missouri’s Jeremy Maclin reportedly coveted by Oakland’s Al Davis, a premier linebacker talent could be slipping all the way out of the top 10 in Wake Forest’s Aaron Curry.

Rhodes was probably the best addition
It was obvious to all of us that the Bills wanted a proven veteran as insurance with Marshawn Lynch suspended for the first three games.
