Buffalo Bills: B
The Bills concentrated their draft efforts on shoring up an extremely porous defense. Seven of their nine picks were on defense, including first round defensive lineman Marcell Dareus from Alabama. He should start immediately and provide a major boost to the team’s 32nd ranked rush defense. Offensive tackle remains a question after they waited until the 4th round to address the position. Ryan Fitzpatrick remains the starter at quarterback after the team didn’t draft one.

1) Carolina Panthers – Cam Newton, Quarterback, Auburn

This year’s top pick is one of the most unpredictable in recent memory. The Panthers have holes all over the field, but their passing game in 2010 was horrid. New Head Coach Ron Rivera has no loyalty to last year’s second round pick, Jimmy Clausen, and Newton brings immediate excitement to a down franchise. While he may not be ready to play right now, his physical abilities and intangibles make him too hard to pass up.

2) Denver Broncos – Marcell Dareus, Defensive Lineman, Alabama

The first milestone in the NFL offseason calendar is the draft so, to satisfy our thirst for something football-related to talk about, we look to the AFC East draft needs.

Buffalo Bills: Buffalo has so many needs, it is impossible to list them all. The team was last in the league at stopping the run, so the defensive line definitely needs help. Offensive tackle is another major weakness, with no true starters in place. Quarterback may be the biggest concern, but the coaching staff may stick with Ryan Fitzpatrick for the time being. When they pick third, the Bills could go in several different directions.

A Look Back – Things for the Buffalo Bills didn’t go according to plan in the 2009 NFL betting campaign. They finished just 6-10 on the year and dismissed HC Dick Jauron after another last place finish in the AFC East. Unfortunately, they were fighting an uphill battle all season long, especially with the resurgence of the New York Jets.
