Well, ESPN went to commercial yet again. Kelvin Sheppard OLB/LSU. 6'2 250 senior. Fills a position of need from a big school. The Bills needed an outside linebacker, defense is always my philosophy. Now all the Bills need to do is get a ILB TE and OT and i'm set. If Mallet is there in the 4th or worth trading up for that would be a bonus.
Gailey, who coached Sheppard on the South team, spoke very highly of Sheppard at a news conference..
"Shep is a pretty good force inside inside in there," Gailey said. "He has really taken charge of the defense. He’s making all the calls for us on the defensive side. He’s doing a really good job of finding the football. He can come take on the run and he’s fast enough and aware enough to go cover up some pass situations. I think his instincts may be as good as anybody’s on the football field. He has great instincts. He’s a big, strong guy. I’ve been very impressed."
