Young Works Out: Vince Young worked out for the Bills in the fieldhouse this morning. He threw passes to David Nelson, Donald Jones, Naaman Roosevelt, and Marcus Easley.
Kelsay Won't Give Up Number: Chris Kelsay said he is not willing to give up the number 90 to Mario Williams who wore that number in Houston. Kelsay said he was not asked by Williams for the number but he told Williams he would not be giving it up and Mario understood. Kelsay said you get attached to a number and he has worn that number for the 10 years he has been with the Bills. Rumor has it Williams may switch to 92 which is currently worn by Alex Carrington.
Bills Serious About Young: WIVB-TV reports Vince Young is interrupting his honey moon to visit the Bills in Orchard Park today. ESPN's John Clayton reports the team is serious about signing Young who has received little interest on the open market. I wouldn't surprised to see Young sign before his visit is over assuming everything goes well with his physical.

Young Coming In: The Bills announced today that free agent QB Vince Young will be in town tomorrow for a visit. Buddy Nix made it clear that if they do sign him it is as a backup and re-iterated the team's committment to Ryan Fitzpatrick as their franchise quarterback. Nix told a Rochester radio station that Fitzpatrick just didn't get the help he needed and he was as hot a QB as there was in the first seven games of the season so they know he can do it. They are looking at Young as someone who can come in and create competition in the backup position. The current backup is Tyler Thigpen. If Young is signed he will be the favorite to be the backup guy as Thigpen didn't show much last season.
Johnson Surgery Successful: Stevie Johnson underwent groin surgery on Tuesday and his agent told WKBW-TV that it went very well and he will be good to go in no time. He's expected to be ready in time for Organized team activities at the end of the month.
Bills Feel They Filled Holes: Many of the draft experts have given the Bills high marks for their draft. They went it to it to fill holes and picked players for all their holes early on as Buddy Nix said everything fell right. It will be a few years before we know if they were successful but if they hit on a good portion of the picks they have done a good job of filling holes and adding depth. Draft Review.

10 UFAs Agree To Terms: The Bills announced today that they have agreed to terms officially with 10 undrafted free agents. They expect all 10 to sign their contracts before rookie minicamp begins on May 11th. Besides the 7 we addressed earlier today the team added another offensive lineman, coernerback, and linebacker. Depth Chart.
Unofficial Undrafted Signings: Right now it appears that the Bills have unofficially agreed to terms with seven undrafted free agents. With 11 roster spots open to get to the 90 man roster limit they have openings for four more signees. The biggest name on the unofficial list is Richmond QB Aaron Corp. He started his college career at USC before transferring, he was a highly recruited player out of high school. The team also reportedly signed three safeties including Division III linebcker turned strong safety Ian Wild. Front Office Page.
Draft Grade: The Bills seemed to have filled many holes during the draft but the big question is will the players be able to fill the specific holes? We know they got tremendous value in getting Cordy Glenn in round two but can he play left tackle or is he destined for right tackle or guard? We know T.J. Graham can flat out fly but can he play on the outside? Those are the main questions but two things are for sure, they got bigger on the offensive line and speed on defense. Draft Grade.
