Only if there's a LT that they really like who they believe will be available at their second round pick. Buddy Nix has repeatedly been quoted as saying "We can't do it all in one year" so I wouldn't be surprised if they stick with Kyle Williams at NT for this season and stock up on OTs and LBs early on in this years draft.
So far they've talked to Sean Witherspoon (ILB) and Everson Griffen (projects to OLB). Both are projected as late first, early second round players. Maybe we go left tackle at 9, LB at 41 and pick up a NT in FA/trade?
Did anyone see Campbell being interviewed with Eisen & Co. and he dropped Merriman's name as a guy who helped him prepare for the combine? Juice alert!
I think this interview confirms that King's source was in fact Nix. (At approximately the 2 minute mark)

I can't believe how many people don't want a 350-370 lb NT who will be the biggest NT in the NFL clogging up the middle. Haven't we learned anything from 4 years of watching our undersized Dline get blown up almost every snap?
Just a heads up so we can check out who the Bill's LT and maybe RT of the future will be.
Also of interest-DL and LB will work out monday morning at 11am EST.
In fairness how often was Big Ted photographed topless?
I like to compare Cody's physique to BJ Raji's who is 340lbs and 2 inches shorter than Cody.

Sure he looks bad but the Packers run defense went from 26th in 2008 to 1st in 2009. The Bills need a run stuffer and you won't find a better one than Cody.
My guess is that he'll go in the mid to late 20s with a 3-4 team that needs a NT trading up to get him, most likely Miami or the Bills. Either way he won't make it past KC at 36.
(This is assuming he doesn't have a disastrous combine)
That's exactly why he's a freakish athlete. There's not many 360-380 lb people on the planet who can move as quick as he can. I know the shirtless picture looks bad but is his physique that much worse than BJ Raji's?

The guy was freakishly nimble for someone his size
Here he is blocking a field goal.
Here he leaps over Ryan Mallett
Here he's blocking for a Mark Ingram TD
He shows some sideline to sideline quickness here
