Not that I watched it. Anyone who actually watches the NFL draft coverage should realize that they are on equal footing with the people who sit through an entire American Idol results show. Sure, I'm interested in the outcome (of the former, that is), but I don't have such a burning desire to know who goes where that I need to find out right at the instant it happens.

I'm pretty pleased with my Bills, who more than adequately addressed their needs at cornerback (Leodis McKelvin, 11th pick) and wide receiver (James Hardy, 41st pick). It's exciting to have McKelvin, whom I'm optimistically going to dub Devin Hester 2.0 - Now Including Coverage Skills! Hardy was potentially the steal of the draft; perhaps he fell so far because he's considered to be something of a character risk, but I'm not all that worried:

Hardy certainly sounds like the sort who deserves everything he is getting, in a good sense. He grew up in desperate straits, with a father who spent nine years in prison for dealing drugs, and a mother who turned him over to relatives at age 13. He found himself living in a one-bedroom apartment with an uncle freshly released from prison.

"I would just stay at school," Hardy told the Buffalo News, "in the gym or on the field so I wouldn't have to go home. That's what got me here and I'll be able to go home to my house and eat right and just be able to focus on being a professional. I take this very seriously."

He could be full of shit, sure, but at least he's saying the right things for the moment.

As much as I hate to get excited about the Bills offense from a fantasy perspective after getting burned by Lee Evans repeatedly and painfully last season, I'm at least cautiously optimistic at this point. Trent Edwards showed a ton of poise for a rookie and I fully expect him to take the next step this season now that he has two quality targets. Marshawn Lynch is one of the most exciting tailbacks in the game and is ready to be dominant behind the Bills' above-average (albeit overpaid) offensive line. It's a well-rounded offense with lots of fantasy potential between these four players. Lynch is a solid #1 RB, and Evans could credibly be used as a #1 WR (for the non-risk-averse). Hardy will absolutely start right away and could be an interesting, high-upside #3 WR. All of this, of course, depends upon the play of Edwards. Would I take him as my #1 QB? Nah... but you could do far worse for your #2.

The Bills schedule, by the way, is a thing of beauty for the most part. I count at least ten (!!) games against teams that had crappy defenses in '07. Am much as I hate sharing a division with the Pats, getting to play the Fins and Jets four times a season almost makes it all worth it.
