The trade that resulted in the Bills picking Losman: The Bills sent a second rounder and a fifth rounder in 2004 plus their first rounder in 2005 to Dallas for Dallas' 1st round pick in in 2004. How anyone can construe that as Losman costing 2 #1s is beyond me. Essentially it cost Buffalo a 2nd and 5th in 2004 to exercise their 2005 first round pick a year early. Now, instead of a rookie, Buffalo has a player with a full year of exposure to the system. The injury last season was a setback in terms of getting physical reps, but he was still able to do film work and observe the team. From all appearances at the minicamp, Losman knows the system cold, has lots of confidence and the players around him are feeling confident in him.
Roscoe Parrish's Wonderlic score was 10. Granted that's not very high, and I do expect that it will take him some time to learn the Bills playbook. He's so quick, however, that he seems able to avoid a lot of the jamming a small receiver often endures from DBs. That's from Troy vincent who last season worked with Lee Evans on that very problem. Lee did stroggle with it some in 2004, but Troy Vincent, reading into his comments doesn't seem as if he thinks it will be as much of a problem for Parrish.
