S Roy Williams, Oklahoma received 34% of 2,218 votes.
Sleepers for latter rounds
Looking for some sleepers for the Bills on draft day? Try some of these for the later rounds:
Brian Westbrook of Villanova, who fits into the category of kickoff and punt returner. He also fits as a pass-catching back.
Cliff Russell of Utah, possibly the fastest receiver available. He played for Fred Graves, the Bills receivers coach.
Kyle Johnson of Syracuse, if the Bills are looking for a traditional fullback. The Orangemen considered him a winner.
Richard Williams of Gardner Webb, who started out as a defensive lineman, switched to offensive tackle and is seen as an NFL guard. He needs polish but his plusses are tenacity and athleticism.
Greg Scott of Hampton. He is fast, strong and needs polish.
Evaluating Talent for the Job
“We saw about 330 players and hopefully we can get our fair share of them,” said President/General Manager Tom Donahoe. “We were very impressed with not only the workouts this year but the interviews we did in the evening.”
Beef for Buffalo - Bills report: Inside slant
Rehashes week old news, but throws in some new quotes.
“GM Tom Donahoe left the NFL owner’s meetings in Orlando a day early, but not because he didn’t like the sunshine or continental breakfast. Donahoe traveled to Austin, Tex. to attend the private workout of Longhorns lineman Mike Williams, who could become the Bills’ desperately needed cornerstone left tackle with the No. 4 overall pick in next month’s draft.”

Fifth Down: Inside Football's Spin Cycle
@ Who’s gonna be the next quarterback of the Buffalo Bills? Nobody knows. It could be Alex Van Pelt. It could even be Travis Brown. If the team signs Jeff Blake or trades for Drew Bledsoe, maybe that question could be answered.
Monday Morning Quarterback
9. I think Drew Bledsoe plays in Buffalo this season.

Alex Van Pelt and fans pick Oscars; the results are in!
Bills quarterback Alex Van Pelt showed off his film study talents this past week, picking three of the five major Oscar winners.
Team sends mixed signals to Foreman
@ The Bills never said they were disappointed with the play of right OLB Jay Foreman last season, but they seem to be telling the three-year veteran something different by entertaining other free agents to fill his spot the past few weeks. Foreman can’t be happy about the Bills trying to find his replacement, but the job is still his for now. It might be just the motivation he needs to take his game to a higher level.
Bledsoe's too immobile to shine for Bills
@ Even if the Bills were serious about bringing in Drew Bledsoe, which I don’t believe they are, I wouldn’t get too excited about having him lead the Buffalo offense. Who can be confident that the line will protect a largely immobile quarterback such as Bledsoe?
Nobody willing to give up 1st round draft pick got Bledsoe
@ The Bills [and most of their fans] are over the Doug Flutie-Rob Johnson debates, having jettisoned both of them, leaving them with Alex Van Pelt. Van Pelt isn’t bad, but he’s not going to sell tickets. Would the Patriots trade Bledsoe within their own division? If you buy into the fact that Bill Belichick has been able to get into Bledsoe’s head in the past when he opposed him, wouldn’t having Bledsoe in the same division be an advantage to the Patriots?
