Why Malcolm Kelly will and should be our #1 pick

Haven't talked about the Bills for a while, so I'm going to jot down some of my ideas for why the Bills should pick Malcolm Kelly for our first pick in the draft. Thus far, he has been projected as the Bill's pick by ESPN and various other mock drafts. He is by far the most logical choice for the Bills. 
Lee Evans is a pure talent at WR and will most likely remain our #1 next season and he needs a viable counter-part on the other side. Evans had a slow season because of all the double coverages he saw from opposing teams. Just having a competent receive would help out our receiver's numbers immensely. 
Another reason would be his size. Lee Evans isn't the tallest or biggest receiver and we need a WR that is. We need a receiver that can jump up, be physical and grab balls. Kelly is 6'4" and fits that mold perfectly. Hopefully he can adjust to the NFL style of play quickly and help out Lee. 
Most mock-drafts have the Bills taking Malcolm Kelly with their 11th overall pick, and let's hope they're right. He's just the thing we need to open up our passing game and get our offense rolling.
