Bills take in Kelly workout

[Jay]

The Buffalo Bills were well represented at the pro-day workout of Oklahoma receiver Malcolm Kelly on Wednesday. They did not see an overwhelming showing.

Kelly, one of the most heralded receivers in the NFL Draft class at the end of the college football season, ran the 40-yard dash in a disappointing time of 4.68 seconds, according to observers at the workout. Click here to see some Kelly highlights.

Bills offensive coordinator Turk Schonert, receivers coach Tyke Tolbert and vice president of college scouting Tom Modrak all were in attendance on the Norman, Okla., campus.

Kelly has ideal size, at 6- foot-4 and 227 pounds, and he had been projected as a pick in the first half of the first round in many draftnik forecasts this spring. That, however, looks high in light of his speed numbers. Michigan State’s Devin Thomas probably projects as the top-rated receiver in the draft.

Kelly said he was not told by the Oklahoma strength staff until Wednesday morning that the location of the pro-day workout had been moved from the school’s Astroturf field to the FieldTurf surface inside the Everest Indoor Training Center.

“I had everything set up for where I wanted to do it at,” Kelly told the Oklahoman newspaper of Oklahoma City. “I get up here this morning and it’s a whole different deal. This is my life. It’s got to do with me and my family. This is what I do, play football, and I’m supposed to run as fast as I can. I was slipping all over the place during my drill work. I can’t say I’m pleased with anything today.”

Do Not Want!

[Jay]

No, he's gonna be a huge bust.

[treydawg]

WTF, no caps? I gotta fix that.

[Wiener Knife]

his excuse making was particularly sickening. Calvin johnson ran at the combine in someone else's shoes!

[Jay]

Ya, his stock has just fallen drastically.

Enjoy the 4th round Mr. Kelly

[Wiener Knife]

just take hardy at 11, and porter in the second.

yes I'm advocating taking two IU players in th first two rounds.

[Jay]

I don't want a WR at 11. None of them are worth the 11 spot.

no offense, this is idiot talk.

Don't buy into what the maycocks and kipers are telling you.

[Jay]

OK, we'll see how awesome Hardy is Matt.

You've been a douche with your predictions the last couple of years. I REFUSE to buy into any of your hype.

You are a wannabe draft guru that strikes out a TON.

It's cute when Jay gets fired up

[Jay]

I'm not fired up, I'm just stating the facts.

Last year Matt was telling everyone that wanted to draft Lynch that they were fucking idiots.

I guess we all know how that turned out.

douche and strikes out a ton?

I liked pittman last year over marshawn, I also liked pittman in the 3rd and I much preferred one of the rbs in this class that we are poised to be abe to take, however according to you, we need to get value, would you want them to draft mendenhall?, how about chris williams? maybe a de?

if you want value for your 11 pick your'e going to pick a position where you dont' have a need.

true I also didn't want whitner for bunkley, thats worked out poorly indeed. Whitner is on his way to his 3rd pro bowl.

besides as a bills fan you should know by now that value and draft position dont' mean much. See whitner, and lynch.

[treydawg]

Matt and I both wanted to wait until this year to draft a RB.

[Jay]

Whitner is on his way to his 3rd pro bowl.

Eh?

[Jay]

I'm not saying don't draft a WR, what I am saying is there isn't much of a difference in talent between the guys that will go in the first round, and the guys that will go in the 2nd this year.

There just isn't the elite legit top 15 WR available in this years draft.

WR isn't our only need. We need a CB just as bad. Go back and watch our CBs getting burned every single game last year Matt.

McGee and Greer as our starting CBs is really pretty bad.

[calr]

McGee and Greer as our starting CBs is really pretty bad.

On the contrary, actually, McGee and Greer are better than you think. Both allowed just 5.0 yards per completion last season (among the NFL's best), and that was with a horrendous front seven that couldn't generate an ounce of pass rush on the opposition.

Is there room for an upgrade at CB? Sure. But I don't think it's pressing; first and foremost the Bills need to work on generating pressure. That's where $74 million of pure crap -- Schobel and Kelsay -- should come into play. Stroud will help, as will Spencer Johnson.

I'd like to see the Bills go for the physical corner from Iowa in the second or third round. Charles Godfrey, I think his name is.

Do you have a link?

I expect a bounceback year from Schobel myself. Hopefully he's putting on about 20 pounds right now. I'm really gonna miss Anthony Hargrove though. I think he put the most pressure on the QB last year out of our DE's in limited action.
