THE WINNERS

Donte Whitner – If you want the draft’s biggest winner, it has to be Whitner. When Ohio State’s season ended, the safety was considered a borderline first-round pick. By the time he had gone through the combine, pro day and personal workouts, he’d caught the eye of the Bills, jumping all the way to No. 8 overall. With his hard work in the last four months, he earned himself somewhere around an extra $6 million to $8 million in guaranteed money.
