I think it is well past time for the fans and media to start asking some hard questions of Bills’ management. At present, the current Bills coaching staff are trying to make the Bills all things to all fans. With glaring issues on both lines coupled with one of the deepest drafts ever, in other words a great draft to trade down in, not up, the Bills almost completely ignored two of their three largest weaknesses and traded up.
The first question is whether in a draft which is widely and indisputably regarded as one of the deepest ever, coupled with the fact that the Bills are a 6-10 team more than a single issue or two away from making the playoffs, how does one justify trading up thereby reducing the overall number of selections among the first six rounds of such a deep draft to only 4 selections?
Furthermore, neither one of the first two selections will make an immediate impact for this upcoming season. The selection of Losman certainly spells the end of the Drew Bledsoe era and all but guarantees that Bledsoe will not finish out this season as starter in Buffalo. Whether or not he even begins it, now remains to be seen as well as trade possibilities must be at the forefront of the mind of anyone who can "read the writing on the wall."
