Bills 2010 Draft

The NFL draft. The day when many young Americans dreams of becoming professional football players come true. The time when teams improve their roster in hopes of going to the playoffs or possibly the super bowl. The Bills had to have a very solid draft this year. Although they didn't address their glaring needs they did get solid players that will hopefully become good NFL players.

First pick CJ Spiller RB Clemson
Though the top QBs and pretty solid LTs were still on the board, the Bills decided to go for a playmaker. He could be a really solid pick for the Bills with his speed and vision. He will create excitement for a rather dull offense.

Second pick Torrel Troup DT Central Florida
Again the two top QBs remaining were available on this pick. They decided though to shore the middle of their defensive line. With the Bills switching to a 3-4,they needed a true 3-4 nose tackle. They got that with this pick. If he pans out he could be one of the best nose tackles in the league. The duo of Troup and Kyle Williams could someday strike fear into the gameplan of opposing Offensive Coordinators.

Third Pick Alex Carrington Arkansas State DE
This is a surprising pick for the Bills. Carrington is a good 3-4 defensive end who could fill in for Aaron Schobel if he retires. He has a good combination of strength, size and speed for his position. Although people view him as inconsistent, many agree he could play a big role for Buffalo.

Fourth Pick Marcus Easley Connecticut WR
The Bills need depth at wide receiver so they got Easley. He has big play ability and can take it the distance every time he has the ball. Many believe he can turn into a number three receiver. He can make acrobatic catches and can make plays on special teams.

Fifth Pick Ed Wang Virginia Tech OT
The Bills finally picked a tackle in the fifth round of the draft. Not what many people were thinking of heading into the draft. Ed Wang is very capable left tackle that could challenge for a starting job in a couple of years. He has good initial quickness but sometimes blocks to high. Many people think of him as a project but the Bills like his potential. If he makes the team he will be the first full blooded Chinese American to play in the NFL.

Sixth Pick Arther Moats DE James Madison
Moats is a converted linebacker that is athletic and explosive. He needs to get stronger but fits the 3-4 scheme. He is a project that could play roles on special teams.

Sixth Pick Danny Batten DE South Dakota State
The Bills grabbed another small school defensive end in the round. He's undersized but is quick with a motor that never stops.

Seventh Pick Levi Brown QB Troy
The bells rang out in Buffalo. The Bills finally pick a QB, probably though not for the future. The Bills took Levi Brown from Troy. He was invited to the combine but only as a throwing QB. He has a strong arm and is pretty accurate on his throws. He needs time to transition to the pro game. He has a chance to be a solid backup for the team.

Seventh Pick Kyle Calloway OT Iowa
For the Bills last pick of the draft they selected an offensive tackle from Iowa. He is strong and well coached but not athletic and has average feet. He can sustain blocks, however, and never stops moving.

This draft could be key in the years ahead for the Bills. If they hit it big on the top three picks this draft has the potential to be the best Bills draft in the last 15 years.
