Pros: Only one other team finished with more interceptions last year than the Bills. Their secondary was led in that department by rookie Jairus Byrd, who picked off nine passes.

Cons: They weren't adept at intercepting the ball in '08, and they don't have a strong front that can generate sacks (32 last year, tied for 18th). They lost aggressive defensive coordinator/interim head coach Perry Fewell in the offseason. Switching to a 3-4 alignment could pose problems, and their best pass rusher, Aaron Schobel, is considering retirement rather than switch from end to linebacker.

Fantasy tip: This secondary surprised many last year, and they probably warrant at least a spot on your watch list for the matchup play. However, pass them by on draft day. They aren't being drafted in most drafts, anyway.
