Wannstedt Talks Defense: Defensive Coordinator Dave Wannstedt met with the media today to discuss the defense. He said the 4-3 defense will take advantage of the strengths of defensive tackles Marcell Dareus and Kyle Williams. He did say you will see odd and even fronts and that Williams is on track for a complete recovery from his foot injury. The coordinator praised the play of Nick Barnett and said he will be a three down backer playing outside in the normal defense and inside in the nickel. Wannstedt felt rookie Kelvin Sheppard really came on last year and he's very confident in him manning the middle linebacker spot.

Johnson Talks Heating Up: The Buffalo News is reporting that contract talks are heating up between the Bills and Stevie Johnson. The Bills reportedly sent a contract proposal last week and the agent for Johnson countered it on Monday. The two sides are expected to talk next week at the combine.

Lynch Pick Higher: The Bills will get a pick one round higher than previously thought to complete the Marshawn Lynch trade. That deal gave them a 4th round pick in last year's draft and a conditional sixth rounder this year. Since Lynch had substantial playing time in Seattle that pick is now a 5th round pick and will be the 11th or 12th pick in that round. The team already has two fourth round picks thanks to the Lee Evans deal. At this point they have nine picks in the seven rounds but are awaiting any compensatory picks they may receive.
