Pennington Comfortable In Two Spots: Terrence Pennington joined the media on a conference call after being drafted by the Bills in the 7th round. He said he's done a good job keeping his weight down the last two years, this was a problem early in his college career. He feels really good playing at 320 lbs. He is comfortable and used to playing at both tackle positions. He did that a lot at New Mexico wherever the Bills want him to play, he'll be ready to go. He said being smart is very important at offensive tackle and the fact that his father has taught him discipline helps him out a lot.

Ellison Excited: Sixth round pick Keith Ellison talked to the media during a conference call after being taken by the Bills. His experience playing safety in the past will help him out playing LB in the NFL. He will play wherever the team wants him to play. He plays faster than he was timed by scouts. The Bills only communication with Ellison before the draft was at the combine.

Pennington Could Play Left Tackle: Scout Terry Wooden said he likes Terrence Pennington's size and his very long arms. He looks like an offensive tackle and has a lot of upside. He has played both left and right tackle. Wooden feels with his long arms and good footwork he could possibly play left tackle in the NFL. He's very strong and is everything you look for when you envision an offensive tackle. He has room to grow physically and mentally, they feel he can gain more strength and size to his lower body.

Another Tall Tackle: The Bills went tall again in the 7th round with the selection of Terrance Pennington. He is the second 6'7" offensive tackle that the Bills have drafted today, they are the only two offensive players picked with one pick remaining. He is stronger and bigger than fifth round pick Brad Butler. He has a good blend of size, strength, and athletic ability.

Williams Has Will To Win: Kyle Williams said he's excited to be part of the Bills organization when he spoke to reporters this afternoon after being taken by the Bills in the 5th round. He feels that his best assets are his tenaciousness and the will to win no matter what. He's looking forward to competing for an opportunity to play and help the team win and get into the playoffs.

Butler Looks Forward To Future: Brad Butler is looking forward to the future and has always dreamed of this day. He knows the coaching staff in Buffalo is good and he's looking forward to playing for them, especially Jim McNally. Anthony Munoz's agency is representing him and he raved to Butler about McNally. He doesn't have a problem if he plays guard or tackle, just wherever they need him.

Ellison Adds Depth: Scout Brad Forsyth said that Keith Ellison gives the Bills versatility at the linebacker position. He started as a safety but moved to linebacker. He's a smart guy who can play all three linebacker positions. He's instinctive and a good, solid all around player who should help on special teams immediately. He's very intelligent who had a very high wonderlic score. He is a good cover guy who can be good in pass coverage and on the coverage teams.

Bills Go Back To Defense: The Bills went back to the defense for their sixth player in seven selections. They chose outside linebacker Keith Ellison with their sixth round selection. Ellison is considered a player that needs development like many players at this stage in the draft. He has very good quickness which is definitely where this defense is headed. He is undersized like many of the other defensive players picked in this draft. He is considered a player with room to grow and has a lot of upside. The Bills have two picks in the 7th round of the draft.

Butler To Play Right Tackle: Scout Doug Majeski talked about the pick of Brad Butler, saying he's a physical, smart tough guy. He does everything they need a right tackle to do, which is where he projects for the Bills as a backup to Jason Peters. He has good feet and hand play and pulls well. Since he's very tall he's not an explosive type of run blocker but he gets the job done. He is good at what he does but when your 6'7" it has to be done differently. They would like him to get a little bit heavier but his technique is sound. Al Groh runs an NFL type environment at Virginia at that helps Butler's development at the Pro level. He has the size to play guard as well and is very versatile. He is an excellent pass protector.

Williams Can Play At Either Tackle Spot: Scout Shawn Heinlen said Kyle Williams has 100% motor every play. He's got quick penetration off the snap and plays with great leverage and uses his hands very well. He creates chaos in the backfield. He's undersized but holds his ground. The Bills plan on playing Williams at the one and the three, so he can backup at both defensive tackle positions. At the beginning he'll backup at the nose but will also see snaps in the rotation at the three, getting him reps from day one. He's a polished player who should be able to adapt quickly to the pro game. He played at a high level since his freshman year, he's also a very high character player.

Bills Finally Go Offensive: The Bills finally took an offensive player with their 6th selection of the day, their 2nd of two fifth round picks. They addressed a need at tackle by selecting Virginia's Brad Butler. He is a very physical player that hits hard at the point of attack. He's very tall at 6'7" but doesn't get great leverage. He played mostly right tackle in college but did play to games at left tackle in his senior season.

Bills Add Another DT: The Bills went for their fifth straight defensive selection and their second defensive tackle with the first pick in the fifth round. Kyle Williams of LSU is the newest Bill. He's a highly competitive and productive tackle who's on the smallish size. He is the prototype tackle for the Dick Jauron defense. He is always is flying to the ball and plays with a high motor.

Youboty Looking To Learn: Ashton Youboty talked to the media yesterday during a conference call after he was picked by the Bills in the third round. He was happy that the Bills picked him and his transition will be easier with several Buckeyes on the Bills. He's looking forward to meeting his teammates and learning from the veterans. He also had only one interview with the Bills and it came at the combine. He doesn't know Nate Clements personally but he knows of him and he hopes to follow in the great defensive back tradition of Ohio St. He called Donte Whitner a playmaker who will help the defense out.

McCargo Excited: In a conference call yesterday with the media, the Bills second first round pick John McCargo told the media he is excited and thankful to be going to the Bills and is ready to do whatever it takes for the team. He had little contact with the Bills besides the combine. He thinks he can play either tackle position, he has played one, two, and three technique at NC State. The foot injury that cost him most of his college season last year isn't a problem anymore, he's ready to go right now. McCargo isn't concerned about the projections that he was a reach and he's confident about his ability.

Whitner Expects To Compete For Starting Job: Donte Whitner told the media in a conference call that he's very happy to be in the top 10 and to be a Bills. He said it helps that he knows London Fletcher, Nate Clements, Tim Anderson, and then two rounds later the drafting of Ashton Youboty. He works out with Fletcher since they are both from Cleveland and Fletcher raved about the young man. Whitner didn't have a pre-draft visit with the Bills and not much contact with them. He called football a more mental game than physical. He expects to compete for the starting strong safety job from day one.

Simpson Has Good Size, Speed: Scout Joe Haering said Ko Simpson was a very productive college player who has good size and speed. He's a physical player that is a very good tackler and should help immediately on special teams while learning the ropes at free safety. He has good range to get deep as a safety, he's a good kid that helped turn around the South Carolina program. He has played both safety positions and has the ability to play both but because of his size and position need he will start at free safety for the Bills.

Bills Stay Defensive: The Bills continued to address the defensive side of the ball as day two of the draft got underway. The Bills picked their third defensive back in four picks when they added safety Ko Simpson from South Carolina. He is the fourth junior taken by the Bills. He's a tall, thin safety that didn't go against many wide receivers in coverage in college. He can play the nickel if needed as he did a good job against tight ends and running backs. He has quick feet, and good playing speed. The team has him slotted at free safety which could make him the possible heir apparent to Troy Vincent's spot. The team has now filled backup needs on defense while still desperately needing an offensive tackle.

McCargo May Not Fit: The Bills second round pick John McCargo has the speed that Jauron wants in his defensive front but he plays the same three technique tackle position as newly signed free agent Larry Tripplett. The Bills feel he will be on the field with Tripplett in pass rushing situations and he may eventually develop into a nose tackle that they need. McCargo feels his time at NC State has prepared him to play either tackle position. Right now he joins the team behind Tripplett on our depth chart.
