Heading into yesterday's festivities, Bills fans had pretty much resigned themselves to the team landing either a big-play cornerback or deep-threat wide receiver. But certainly not both.

Which is exactly what happened thanks to a bunch of trades, an early run on defensive linemen and linebackers, and a mid-round run on offensive tackles. Leodis McKelvin, who can also return kicks, was the first cornerback off the board when the Bills selected him 11th. He's in line for the starting job opposite Terrence McGee, which will allow Jabari Greer to move to nickel back. Everybody's happy ... well, except for J.P. Losman.

With the 10th pick in the second round, Buffalo looked to be prime position to take their game-changing wideout since one wasn't drafted in Round 1 for the first time in the history of man. And then, just like DL, LB and OT before them, there was a run on receivers. Three of the first five second-round selections were wideouts, but 6-6 James Hardy was still on the board when the Bills went on the clock.

While there was no agreement on a name, there was a pre-draft consensus that the Bills needed a tall target to line up opposite Lee Evans. Done and done. And head coach Dick Jauron was, in his own special way, super psyched:

Personally, for me, I'm really pleased," said Bills coach Dick Jauron. "It's a relief in terms of the draft because these are two critical positions on any football team, and on ours they were two critical needs. Now we go into the second day of the draft a little more open, a little more at ease."

Virtual high-fives all around.
