Estro Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) Chan Gailey seems to like every prospect he's been asked about this week, but when he talked about Kelvin Sheppard I believed him (see Wednesday's Senior Bowl presser, on BuffaloBills.com). Couple that with the fact that he plays at a position of need, ILB, and that he's played at a high level for 4 years in the SEC at LSU, and I think he could be a Buddy Nix guy when it's all said and done. I also think Buddy Nix's comments in his interview with Chris Brown (on BuffaloBills.com) that they'll need to add another ILB or 2 were pretty telling. He obviously sees ILB as much more of an area of need over OLB. A quick bio recapping his career at LSU: http://www.seniorbowl.com/playerinfo.asp?ID=353 At a shade over 6'2" and 250 lbs. he seems to have plenty of size for the 3-4 as well. The guy was a leader and team captain for one of the nations best defenses and was selected to the First Team All SEC. I believe Sheppards stock was in the late 2nd - 3rd round range, but when the dust settles he'll probably be a solid second round pick. At the moment pick #34 seems a bit high, but with some maneuvering on draft day I could definitely see Sheppard in a Bills uniform on Sundays. 2 Videos to get a quick look at Sheppard. First is a quick highlight reel, the second a post game press conference: Edited January 27, 2011 by Estro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McD Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Would love to see this, in 3rd round. Right, but we'll go for him in the 2nd if this team stays the course.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrid Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Right, but we'll go for him in the 2nd if this team stays the course.... 2nd round seems perfect for either RT or QB tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
