There are plenty of rumors of thought out there if what the Bills should do with there pick this year.Recently at the combine we got a little conformation of what we should expect from the Bills this off season. Bills GM Buddy Nix said that the Bills need two DEs,two ILBs,a safety,and a CB. So with that being said I believe we will see a very defensive minded draft from the Bills this year.To add a little more insight into this recently Mark Gaughan of The Buffalo News caught up with Wannstedt at the 2011 NFL Combine in Indianapolis. In the article, Wannstedt discusses his various relationships with members of the Bills organization, as well as what his role with the team and George Edwards' defense will be. It's all very coach-speak, which is why one quote stuck out to me as it pertains to the 2011 NFL Draft: Wannstedt is a "build from the front" type of coach.
"Everywhere I've been, whether it was the Dolphins, the Cowboys, the Bears, everything has always been: We're going to live and die with how good our front is," Wannstedt told Gaughan. "That was the philosophy going back to the University of Miami (in the 1980s), with Jerome Brown and Danny Stubbs." Wannstedt may not have much say on draft day, but it doesn't seem to be a coincidence that the Bills brought in Wannstedt as the assistant head coach and inside linebackers coach this year. Both Nix and Gailey have been quoted saying" we are thin-est defensively".
So it seems at this point that the Bills are determined to reverse there bottom ranked defensive ways of late.
