Do the Bills express interest in anyone that we're not interested in?

The Bills are interested in everything and everyone. The moment we should start to worry that they have an inside guy is when they install bojangles and OMB at their stadium.

Overview

Active defensive lineman with an impressive combination of agility and athletic ability. Saunders might need to find his fit as a one-gap nose tackle in a 4-3 defense as his lack of consistent, in-line anchor could be a concern on the next level. He has been a disruptive force against a lower level of competition but flashed some of that same disruption during Senior Bowl practice week and an elevated level of competition. If he can improve his conditioning to become more disruptive for longer stretches, he'll have a chance to become a solid rotational defender and eventual starter.

Strengths

• Quick, strong slaps to displace blocker's hands and separate from the block
• Potential to become above average hand-fighter if he plays faster
• Above average feel for side-stepping or clubbing lateral blocks
• Able to split double teams when he's allowed to work the A-gap
• Slap-swim is go-to as quick-win move off the snap
• Better athletic ability than expected with tight-quarter twitch
• Bounding feet to make sudden attacks to blocker's edge or spin out of blocks.

Weaknesses

• Lacks sustained effort throughout game due to conditioning
• Needs greater urgency to get off blocks more consistently
• Squatty frame with short arms
• Can be engulfed by size and power
• Gets walked out of his gap against down blocks
• Unlikely to control point of attack in the pros Lacks desired pass-rush attributes to transfer college sack production to NFL.

Jesus Christ no more DTs.

Vernon Butler an UFA next season and we have yet to re-sign Kyle Love. Pick would make sense.

Jeez lack of effort due to conditioning?  Thats lack of discipline and motivation.

Thats a no go.
