They are stacked at OT and thin at guard and I think that's why they are going interior lineman in the draft. These are the guys on the Bills OL prior to the draft per BB.com; Demetrius Bell - (OT) 6'5" 307 Brad Butler - (OT) 6'7" 315 Kirk Chambers - (OT/G) 6'7" 315 Chris Denman - (OT) 6'7" 315 ( Taken from the Practice Squad) Geoff Hangartner - (C/G) 6'5" 305 Brandon Rodd - (OT) 6'4" 305 (Taken from the Practice Squad) Jonathan Scott - (OT) 6'6" 318 Langston Walker - (OT) 6'8" 366 Draft Picks; Any Levitre - (G) 6'3" 305 Eric Wood - (C/G) 6'4" 310 Some of these guys listed may be able to play more positions than listed. I'm going by the synopsis' on BB.com. So the Bills have 7 guys who can play (OT) and, including the draft picks, four guys who can play guard and two centers. Levitre has played tackle in college but he's not equipped, IMO, to play that in the NFL. According to the stuff I've read his arms are too short to play tackle. So the lineup could be; Bell - Wood - Hangartner - Levitre - Walker Walker - Wood - Hangartner - Levitre - Chambers Chambers - Wood - Hangartner - Levitre - Walker I'm guessing right now that the Walker, Wood, Hangartner, Levitre and Chambers lineup is the starting lineup on opening day. If Wood shows he's better at C than Hangartner in TC then switch Hangartner and Wood around. There are rumors that Bell may be a lot better than people think and he may end up at LT with Walker at RT. Anyhoo, there are lots of combinations for the OL. The Bills need to protect TE because he's so brittle and that's why the upgrades in the interior were made. I guess the coaches are high on the tackles they have now. As for DE's a lot of people are forgetting Chris Ellis from last year. He was extremely underwhelming but guys usually step it up in the second year and so the jury is still out on him. But that leaves Maybin, Schobel, Ellis, Denney and Kelsay for the DE spots. Since Ellis was a third round pick last year I think they are still hopeful for him to come out strong this year. That is something that is still very high in the air.

Maybe if we send them all of our draft picks next year they'll take Kelsay.

Is it really that hard to understand? It's an anti-spousal abuse ad. People who beat their wives don't need a good reason to beat their wives. It's an ad that shows a young child witnessing his father beating his mother. I thought it was so effective that it got pulled due to complaints about how heart wrenching it is. I hope a lot of Jackasses saw that and realized how they look.

PUNCH!!

Dude, do you think that's funny. I remember that ad. I thought it was really affective.

Kick Wilfork's ass!!!! ..and beat the ever livin out of Beerball!! Oh wait, that's not a joke. That's a hope.

The happiest guy in Buffalo tonight is TE.

PUNCH!! Change your screen name douche. Die-Hard you're not. My suggestion would be "Whine-Hard"

PUNCH!!

I thought they were going to move Whitner to FS. I hope he's not pissed about this.

So next year when they let McGee and Youboty go then you'd be bitching about CB depth. It's a draft pick for next year because DB's need a year to really develop. JMO

4.6 from what I've read.

I knew somebody would go ballistic about this pick. Looks like they're letting McGee walk at the end of the year.

Not gonna happen.

I wondered how long it would be before that stupid pun showed up!! Thanks that's what I was wondering about.

Not bad. A lot better than I'd do. Now find out how many Kiper and Maybin got right!

I want to see Cody Brown taken! So I can have at least one pick right on my draft board. If I get one right it'll be the first time ever.

They need an OLB, IMO, not an ILB.

Wow the Maybin pick was really close in voting here but, it's a landslide for this guy!! Love the pick!!

Linky Eric Wood C Height: 6'4" Weight: 310 College: Louisville Conference: Big East Hometown: Cincinnati, OH High School: Elder Combine Results: 40 Yard Dash : 5.25 seconds Bench Press : 30.0 reps Vertical Jump : 30.5 inches Broad Jump : 99.0 inches 3 Cone Drill : 7.56 seconds 20 Yard Shuttle : 4.51 seconds Overview Wood is the picture of durability. The unquestioned leader of the Cardinals' front wall, he finished his career with 49 consecutive starts at center, the second-longest streak in school history behind Travis Leffew (51, 2002-05). It was also the sixth-longest streak among active NCAA players last season, topped by Andrew Hartline of Central Michigan (51), Andrew Gardner of Georgia Tech (51), Jason Phillips of Texas Christian (50), Dallas Reynolds of Brigham Young (50) and Clint Sintim of Virginia (50). Called by many the "most prepared player in the nation," Wood has been known to be found in the wee hours of the morning still examining game tapes in the film room, preparing for his upcoming opponent. He not only brings incredible knowledge and instincts to the field, but plays with the true nastiness that has scouts comparing him to the NFL's old time centers like Mike Webster of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tim Grunhard of the Kansas City Chiefs. Performing as his team's Iron Man is nothing new for Wood. He started every game in his final two seasons at Elder High School, as the team compiled a 28-2 record during that span. As a 15-game starter at offensive tackle, he guided the school to its second straight state title with a 31-7 win over St. Edward's High as a senior, picking up all-league first-team accolades. As a junior, Wood started at both offensive guard and tackle, in addition to lining up at tight end, earning all-district honorable mention. He also earned a pair of letters playing on the basketball team, picking up all-league recognition during his final campaign. Wood enrolled at Louisville in 2004, turning down scholarship offers from Bowling Green, Ohio University, Cincinnati, Indiana and Columbia. He spent that season performing on the scout team, but a stellar performance in 2005 spring drills earned him the starting center position, a job he would maintain throughout his playing career. He was a consensus Freshman All-American, adding Academic All-Big East Conference honors, as he delivered 85 knockdowns and had touchdown-resulting blocks on nine of the team's 41 scores on the ground. As a sophomore, Wood received All-Big East Conference second-team recognition. He started all 13 games, registering 79 knockdowns to go with 10 touchdown-resulting blocks. He made all the line calls, as the offense ranked second in the country, averaging 475.31 yards per game. He also posted a pair of tackles. In 2007, Wood led the nation's sixth-ranked offense, picking up All-Big East first-team honors. He collected 86 knockdowns and 11 touchdown-resulting blocks. He was one of the few bright spots on a turnover-prone offense, grading 83.25 percent for blocking consistency. He helped the team average 488.0 yards per game, but the Cardinals' running game was halted, placing 64th in the country (146.08 ypg) after finishing 12th the previous season (185.31 ypg). For the second season in a row, Louisville failed to make the bowl season in 2008. Wood continued his stellar play, receiving third-team All-American and first-team All-Big East honors. The offense scored only 34 times, with Wood ranking second among the nation's centers with 16 touchdown-resulting blocks. He graded 87.08 percent for blocking consistency and made 78 knockdowns as the Cardinals averaged 376.67 yards per game. He also recorded an assisted tackle. High School Attended Elder (Cincinnati, Ohio) High School...Started every game over the course of his final two seasons, as the team compiled a 28-2 record during that span...As a 15-game starter at offensive tackle, he guided the school to its second-straight state title with a 31-7 win over St. Edward's High as a senior, picking up All-League first-team accolades...As a junior, Wood started at both offensive guard and tackle, in addition to lining up at tight end, earning All-District honorable mention...Also earned a pair of letters playing on the basketball team, picking up All-League recognition during his final campaign. I'm glad to see the Bills are taking guys that don't have injury issues. I like this pick a lot. The question is will they use him at guard or will they slide Hangartner to guard and put Wood at C?

Every year since Kent Hull retired I've been expecting a C to be drafted early Finally it has happened. I think this might be a thumbs up for Bell this year.

OT Ebin Britton. Has to be an OT. JMO
