The Buffalo Bills went into the 2010 NFL Draft with a question mark at quarterback, and even bigger questions concerning the offensive line. Both positions were addressed in the draft, but not the way anyone would have speculated.
The Bills selected C.J. Spiller with the 9th overall pick. Spiller was widely regarded as the best playmaker in the draft, and if they can get the ball in his hands he should be worthy of the selection. In the 2nd Round, Buffalo passed on taking Jimmy Clausen and picked Torrell Troup, a nose tackle from Central Florida. Troup was seen as a bit of a stretch for the 2nd Round, and Buffalo's two biggest needs were not addressed at the top of the draft.
Quarterback Levi Brown was taken in the 7th Round, and while he has the physical tools he is seen as a developmental project. Offensive tackle Ed Wang was taken in the 5th round.
The offensive line was also addressed with the player I see as a sleeper pick in Kyle Calloway, an offensive tackle taken in the 7th round. Calloway played opposite Bryan Bulaga at Iowa, and his tutelage under Kirk Ferentz should help him acclimate to the NFL.
Draft Grade: C
