Bills will not limit their options
The Buffalo Bill are in a good position to get a player that will have an immediate impact on a young team. With that said the Bills will not limit their options at the 11th pick in the first round of the upcoming draft.
Simply put the Bills will take a guy that they like, while also filling a need at the 11th pick. “We do the board vertically and horizontally,” Modrak said when asked about the direction the team would go with their first-round pick. “If there’s a position that is strikingly open to us and there’s a guy in another position that we’ve addressed or we feel we’ve addressed, the leaning would be to that person,” according to WGR 550’s website.
The fact of the matter is that you cannot just address need at the 11th pick. There is to much money for that to be the case in this position. If there is a player they love then they have to take him. If not then trade down, and and get to the right spot that you can get the player you like to fill a need. However, that is not always the case.
In the end the Bill will take the player that they love best. They do not have to get a wide receiver in the first, since wide receiver has become a position that is about getting the best receiver in the draft, and not what round. After all New Orleans Saint wide receiver Marques Colston was drafted in the seventh round of the 2006 draft, and he has back to back 1,000 yards receiving years, along with over 70 catches both years.
So, who might the Bills take to fill the wide receiver position? Nobody knows, especially with the drama that unfolded with draft prospect wide receiver Malcom Kelly.
