Miss StLB Chris White Buffalo Bills sixth round (169th overall)

6'2 245 senior

PROS: Has ideal size from the inside linebacker position. Runs well for his size and has good, natural instincts at the linebacker position. High hustler player that wraps up when he tackles and doesn’t miss many tackles. Has good quickness along the line of scrimmage and can shoot past offensive lineman when hitting his gaps.

CONS: Not a great athlete and appears stiff in coverage. Won’t really be successful dropping into a deep zone in some schemes and doesn’t look natural doing so. Gets cut far too often and will play too high. Despite six sacks in his final season doesn’t really have a large array of pass rushing moves

Chris Hairston Ot Clemson Buffalo Bills 4th rd pick

Right Offensive Tackle, 6'6 326, played LT for Clemson Bills scouts project him on the right side.

Here is ESPN's Steve Meunch summarizing Hairston:

Hairston played on the left side in college but his footwork is inconsistent and his lateral mobility is just average, so he is expected to move to the right side in the NFL. He needs to improve his technique and learn to mask his athletic deficiencies, but he has the wide frame, long arms and power to develop into a starting right tackle.

Hairston's best fit is in a power ground game that sets up play-action passes.

Da'Norris Searcy SS UNC Buffalo Bills 4th rd pick

Gotta love going defense defense defense. True he isn't an OT or TE but defense you can never go wrong. 6'0 200, big dude, will play strong safety per a Bills scout.

Kelvin Sheppard OLB :Buffalo Bills 2011 3rd round pick

by Steve

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."

Standout defensive player who started at linebacker for three years for the Tigers ... Undisputed team leader for the Tigers as a senior in 2010 ... Known for his fiery pre-game speeches to the team ... Played in 53 games at LSU, starting 30 times ... Finished career with 311 tackles, which ranks as the ninth-highest total in school history ... Had 100-plus tackles as both a junior and senior ... First team All-SEC selection as a senior in 2010 ... Added 26 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, seven pass breakups, six forced fumbles, two interceptions and two fumble recoveries for career ... Graduated in December of 2010 with a degree in general studies ... Invited to participate in the Senior Bowl in January of 2011.

Aaron Williams :Buffalo Bills 2011 second rd pick

by Steve

Why does ESPN go to commercial every time the Bills pick is in? Oh well the thinking went that it had to be either a OLB ILB or maybe doubtfully Ryan Mallet, turns out the Bills liked a god damn useless safety/ cornerback? WOW

6'0 205 Junior out of Texas. Kiper had him last year as a last first, more of a late second this year. Of course the Bills don't care and do what they're going to do. Did Dick Jauron take over the drafting again? Defensivebacks are a dime a dozen, this was a below average pick at best. Now let me go read my 13 text messages

2011 NFL draft live blogging

Tennessee needs to find some video tape of 2010. Blaine Gabbert needs a hug. Huge balls to take Jake Locker @ 8.

The Bills are too conservative to think about trading up to get Gabbert. -steve

Gabbert to Washington?

Dallas pick has to be Prince right?
Guess not, OT from USC. First offensive tackle off the board damn.

Jack Del Rio busting moves trading up from Washington.
Whoa David Garrard looking over his shoulder, Blaine Gabbert is in JAX. He is that much better than Tim Tebow. All four JAX fans are pissed.

WOOOOWWWWWWW Christian Ponder @ 12 overall?? holy smokes

"Mallet is going to be the best quarterback in this draft" Danny Smy

"Where is Vince Young when you need him" _ T wreck, "Probably trying to commit suicide again" -Steve

Nick Fairley is pissed, either because he has to go to Detroit or because he fell 12 too many spots

"Ryan Mallet will be available at 34 and the Bills won't take him fml" - Steve
