One of the biggest winners of the NFL Draft was Jim Kelly. The Bills' famed ex-QB was diagnosed with cancer in 2013, but beat the disease. It recurred in 2014, and remarkably fought the cancer off a second time, before also catching and beating MRSA. It's a remarkable story, and Kelly looked in fantastic shape as he entered the draft hall to a truly overwhelming audience reception. Unfortunately, he couldn't bear a lot of great news for Bills fans who had to wait until Day 2 to make a pick. Buffalo isn't home to any new quarterbacks, a desperate need, while several of their picks are future prospects rather than signings made to compete in 2015. A first round pick could've changed the whole face of their draft, though they traded it to move up for WR Sammy Watkins last year. He's been a great acquisition, but they could've held on to their 2015 first rounder and still picked up Odell Beckham Jr. or Kelvin Benjamin last year. Thankfully for them, their great free agency moves make up for a largely underwhelming draft.
