4 Bills on All-AFC East team
Four Bills made the All-AFC East team in 2009 for ProFootballFocus.

WR on the radar
The Bills have a host of more pressing needs, but with just four wideouts currently on their roster, the receiver position will need some reinforcements from somewhere. Later in the draft could be one means of addressing the position. One small school prospect that has generated a lot of attention of late is Youngstown State’s [...]
Browns seem set on drafting QB
After all their wheeling and dealing at the quarterback position over the past week, the Browns appear by no means done at addressing that position as team President Mike Holmgren admitted he likes Sam Bradford a lot. “I like Sam a lot; yeah, I like him a lot,” said Holmgren. “He’s a fine player.” According [...]

Mocks favoring OTs
The mock draft prognosticators have made a slew of different individual selections for the Bills with the 9th overall pick thus far, but they’ve overwhelmingly chosen one particular position. Offensive tackle has far and away taken the top spot position-wise for where mock prognosticators expect the Bills to go at nine. Of the 37 mock [...]

Comp. pct. big factor in drafting QBs
This isn’t the first time I’ve seen this statistic brought up, but it bears repeating. Completion percentage in college for QBs is usually a good gauge for predicting success at the next level. National Football Post draft analyst Wes Bunting has a good piece on this using some draft bust examples while also assessing the [...]

Poz on his haircut
Bills LB Paul Posluszny decided to chop his long locks from the 2009 season. “It was time for a change, nothing more than that,” said Posluszny. “Plus long hair is a lot of maintenance.” Posluszny and fellow LB Kawika Mitchell both had some of the longest heads of hair on the team last season, but [...]
Kennedy has the size
Free agent visitor Jimmy Kennedy has the size to man the nose tackle spot in a 3-4. At 6’5″ and 320 pounds he’s got the body to do it. The question is does Buffalo’s coaching staff see it the same way? I would think they do because they’ve got some veteran players to man the [...]
Why TE wasn’t tendered
TE Joe Klopfenstein was a restricted free agent, but the Bills chose to let him become an unrestricted free agent before signing him.
