The Bills wanted to upgrade at the TE position and that resulted in the pick of Shawn Nelson in the 4th round.  Nelson does not have the bulk to help much blocking in the running game at 6’4″, 238 but he is a good receiver.  Nelson runs a 4.67 40 and he should be able to handle matching up with safeties in the passing game.  Nelson played in 52 games (47 starts) in his four years at Southern Mississippi in which he caught 157 passes for 2,054 yards (13.1 avg) with 16 TD grabs.  This was a solid pick for the Bills.
