Bills have all but first three 2012 draft picks signed

BY NICK ST. DENIS

The Bills knocked out some rookie contracts Thursday -- six of them, to be exact. However, none of Buffalo's top-three 2012 draft picks are part of that group.

After first inking fifth-round linebacker Tank Carder, the Bills went on to sign fourth-rounders linebacker Nigel Bradham and cornerback Ron Brooks, fifth-round tackle Zebrie Sanders, Sixth-round interior lineman Mark Asper and seventh-round kicker John Potter.

“Now I can focus on football and going to rookie camp knowing I’ve got that done and don’t have to worry about it and get to know my teammates," Carder told BuffaloBills.com, likely echoing the sentiments of his fellow rookies who also agreed to contracts.

The Bills are still working out deals with first-round cornerback Stephon Gilmore, second-round tackle Cordy Glenn and third-round receiver T.J. Graham.
