Bills Draft Needs
Urgent: The Buffalo Bills starting right offensive guard Jason Whittle is 33-years old and not that great to begin with. The Bills should draft a new starting right offensive guard on day one. Two of the three Bills outside linebackers are potential free agents. At least one replacement should be drafted day one.

Strong: The Bills tight ends are a collection of capable backups, not inspiring starters. A tight end to take over as a starter to help quarterback Trent Edwards grow should be drafted. A pass rushing defensive end needs to be drafted to improve the pass rush, push the starters at defensive end, and take one of their spots should they either not heal or otherwise not be effective.

Moderate: A reserve interior linemen and a defensive tackle to strengthen the rotation should be drafted.

Nice to Have: A reserve free safety would be nice to pick up.

Wild Card: Will the Bills' defensive ends all be healthy in 2009? Can Gibran Hamdan be the backup quarterback assuming J.P. Losman leaves in free agency?
