Playmakers absent at linebacker for the Bills - Bills & NFL - The Buffalo News
"Linebackers are supposed to be the playmakers in the 3-4 defense. Unfortunately for the Buffalo Bills, not enough plays were made. Their linebackers were a part of the NFL's worst run defense and a virtually non-existent pass rush that finished 27th in the league with only 27 sacks. Add it all up and you have a linebacking corps that just wasn't good enough in 2010."

"Sure it’s a fact that the Bills finished last in the league against the run in 2010, but Kyle Williams wasn’t a player lacking in the area of run defense. In fact the defensive tackle set a career-high in tackles, which ranked second in the league amongst interior defenders, led the team in tackles for loss, sacks and chipped in a pair of fumble recoveries. His best season earned him his first career Pro Bowl nod and the runaway winner for Bills Defensive MVP honors."

Mel Kiper examines where the best possible fits for Kevin Kolb could be – ESPN

I don’t see Denver, Carolina or Buffalo as close enough to want to dump draft picks. And in the Bills’ case, they may be content to stick with Ryan Fitzpatrick, who was pretty solid in 2010

Swap 1st round picks with Philly

For Kevin Kolb. If the Bills want him. We don’t lose picks and maybe save a little money for a guy who has been in the league awhile. Makes sense to me. Follow up with an OT, TE then defense, defense and defense in rounds three and four.
