Buffalo Bills: Pick-by-Pick 2013 NFL Draft Review

Monday, April 29th, 2013

The Buffalo Bills made eight selections in total in the 2013 NFL Draft, adding four weapons for their passing offense, two safeties, an inside linebacker and a placekicker.

As the Bills now set their sights on earning their winning season since 2004 and first postseason berth since 1999, the performance of their rookie crop will be key.

While they may not necessarily have significant contributions in year one from each player, including first-round quarterback E.J. Manuel, they need some of their players to progress quickly and make plays on the field in Buffalo this season for the Bills to make a step forward toward contentio.

Let’s take a look at each of the Bills’ selection, and assess how well the team did in addressing their needs and obtaining value.

Who fits the amoeba?

By: Glenn Gifford BBD Contributor

We are 5 days into Free Agency as I write this article. The Buffalo Bills have been quiet, very quiet! Our only Free Agent signing to date has been former 1^st round talent from North Carolina State Manny Lawson. Lawson is an individual who has spent time with both San Francisco as well as with the Cincinnati Bengals.
