Remember, Ki-Jana Carter was supposed to make a 'speedy recovery' too, but that injury left a question mark over his head that followed him his entire short-ass career. I just think that McGahee isnt stable enough of a second round pick (combine workouts can be deceptive), and I hope he proves me wrong.

I agree with your risk assessment, I guess - I think hindsight will dictate how this is viewed.
Remember, though, that the Bills did a good job of filling some holes with free agents, and by the 23rd pick most of the 'impact' players at defensive positions they needed were taken (specifically the top DTs and Ss). Why draft Boss Bailey, for instance, when you just paid big money to Takeo Spikes, who Bailey might someday become?
I guess I just don't see the Bills as being as screwed on defense as most do, and so thus their draft strategy didn't seem as poor to me.
