New Buffalo Bills TE Shawn Nelson (photo source)
With pick number 121 in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills have selected Shawn Nelson, a versatile, athletic TE from Southern Miss.
The No. 121 overall pick is one of the selections obtained by the Bills in the Jason Peters trade. The first was used on OG Eric Wood yesterday in the first round.
Nelson was a favorite of many folks here and should go a long way towards appeasing the masses, as well as being a pretty good TE. Nelson has good blocking skills and is considered a pretty solid receiver at the position. The 6'5", 240-pound Nelson runs the 40-yard dash in 4.56 seconds, scored 16 career touchdowns and averaged 13.1 yards per reception in his career as Southern Miss' go-to target. Once considered a darkhorse contender for first-round consideration, Nelson represents tremendous value in the fourth round.
Buffalo has three more selections on the day. This is your open thread until the Bills' next pick, No. 147 overall in the fifth round. Stay tuned!

Great pick by the Bills
In terms of value and need. Nelson was probably the best player available, and we needed a TE as well. Great pick. now we just need to get a LB in the 5th

this is awesome
I’m so happy with this pick, I can’t believe he was there for us. Excellent!

Levitre, questionable

Perhaps. If Buffalo somehow picks up LB Marcus Freeman or DE Lawrence Sidbury or DE Phillip Hunt that would go a long ways towards erasing the stain of the Byrd pick.

I like the Byrd pick.
I think he will be a nasty little ball hawking safety. I think the FO thought our LB situation and LT situation is in less of a shamble than safety. Lets be honest, our safety play was awful at best last year. Hey if you have a guy standing out like that with all the names around him crossed off, you have to go with it.

I still think Donte could step his game up to that Bob Sanders place he needs to be at. At any rate we have enough DBs now that competition should be pretty excellent. I’m sure Byrd will take a bit to develop. Whitner needs to take that next step. Thanks for being the most beautiful, I mean brilliant, Bills fan on the board. :-)

In a way, I’m kind of glad that most people didn’t predict some of these picks. And thank you!

Yup, you make it easy. I’ve been checking our picks over at scout.com and if we did over reached on Byrd, (the more I read about him the more I like), then we stole Nelson. The OL picks were solid. Maybin is young, he has huge upside, he’ll help on third and passing downs right away.

we don’t need to trade for him, now that his tag is off, he’s a free agent.

i think since we haven’t drafted a LB, it now seems that it would have made sense to sign cato june when we had the chance.

But they didn't like him.
So sign a bad player that they don’t think is better than Ellison? Doesn’t make sense.
