| Clearly things haven't been working for Buffalo
since the Jim Kelly/Thurman Thomas era. Head Coach Dick Jauron
and GM Marv Levy understood it was time to retool. During
the offseason, long before the 2007 Draft, the Bills decided
to make some major changes, ridding themselves of All-Pros
and defensive leaders London Fletcher and Takeo Spikes, as
well as former first round pick and the leader of the ground
game, Willis McGahee. Indeed, Buffalo is looking to start
almost from scratch. They had two first round picks in 2006
and in 2007, they spent their first round choice on RB Marshawn
Lynch who will be charged with taking over for McGahee.
Considering the inconsistent play of QB J.P. Losman, Lynch
will have a lot of work to do so he must stay healthy. Lynch
brings with him some medical concerns as does another '07
drafted RB, Dwayne Wright. Both Lynch and Wright are
talented when healthy, but they must remain 100% and contribute
instantly if the Bills hope to have any success offensively.
LB Paul Posluszny can play either MLB or OLB, and he
too will be counted on for instant contributions in the wake
of the Fletcher and Spikes departures. In round three, Buffalo
drafted another prospect who brings with him some talent and
some major medical issues. QB Trent Edwards was a solid
choice considering the shaky play of Losman and the fact that
he has no backup, but Edwards will be a non-factor in Buffalo,
just as he was at Stanford, if he can't stay on the field
for a full season at a time. |
