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!
Guards Brad Butler and Brandon Rodd are decent. - Pete Prisco
Brandon Rodd!! Our best player.
agreed!
this pick already makes this draft easier to swallow.
Maybin, good pick
Wood, good pick
Byrd, bad pick
Levitre, questionable
Nelson, good pick
Not bad, DJ is talking on ESPN
Guards Brad Butler and Brandon Rodd are decent. - Pete Prisco
Brandon Rodd!! Our best player.
Levitre, questionable
Disagree. Levitre will be a stud
The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.
oh im not saying questionable as a talent
I agree, he is a stud, just saying questionable in terms of another guard before a tackle. Wasn’t Beatty still on the board?
Guards Brad Butler and Brandon Rodd are decent. - Pete Prisco
Brandon Rodd!! Our best player.
yeah.
But Levitre was their second highest rated interior guy behind Wood. Value pick. Plus they may move Butler out to RT.

Appeasment?
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.
second that

Brandon Rodd!! Our best player.
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.
well we just got another safety
I dont get it

Just heard from Geronimo on this one, guys.
Nelson was their TOP guy going into today. As in, sat at the top of their board. If they’d had the No. 65 pick, they would have taken him. They thought about trading up for him.
They didn’t have to, and this is TREMENDOUS value.

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. :-)

Of course
There’s always room for improvement. I just think that was nice of him to mention Donte’s name first. I’m really pleased with the way things have shaken out for us….I’m hearing so many good thing on the players we’ve drafted. 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.

After 10 years of no playoffs, do you really think we can't handle a let down or two?
Besides the Byrd anomaly, the Bills have done a good job (and hopefully these selections will look even better with time).
I hope the Bills are on the phone with every team between now and 147 offering them 147 and Kelsay for whatever pick….maybe even for picks after 148

The Bills have one legit NFL tackle right now. There’s no point in turning any away no matter how high they are on Bell.

"If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?"
~Vince Lombardi~
My thoughts exactly. I would have prefered Freeman, but this is still a very good pick.

I smell Bobby April all over this pick

Maybe DJ and CO have already called Hill
they’d better, we need a LB

that would be sweet
Guards Brad Butler and Brandon Rodd are decent. - Pete Prisco
Brandon Rodd!! Our best player.
Did I just hear Chris Carter say that John Locke is the strength and conditioning coach at Arizona! I though he was still on the island?
The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.
He'll be a LB
4 sure at that size, 6-2, 233, he’ll convert to LB. Freeman must not be worth it. I’m fine with it.

Harris is a great player
only fault was that he is too slow for Safety and everyone wants him to play LB, but he doesn’t like the idea.
34 picks before we go again..........

hey
i dont get it Maybe were in the workings for Leroy Hill
Also…Chris Brown said he got caught with Weed, so we may not get him
At this rate
Freeman might still be available at 183. Not.
Who do we go for at 183? Best available, maybe a small school sleeper. A QB?
