Buffalo Bills Draft Review
If you’re a Bills fan something tells me that other than the first pick, you were a little disappointed. Buffalo didn’t disappoint with their first pick, drafting running back C.J. Spiller out of Clemson. Easily the drafts best back, Spiller is a multi purpose weapon that runs and catches the ball extremely well. This addition gives Buffalo one of the most dangerous backfields in the NFL, with him, Marshawn Lynch and Freddie Jackson.
But this is where it stops looking pretty for Bills fans. The were able to fill a need in the middle of the defense, adding Central Florida tackle Torell Troup. But memories of John McCargo will have Bills fans worried about this one. They continued to bulk up their defensive line drafting Arkansas State end Alex Carrington. Carrington brings great size and will fit in their transition into a 3-4, looking like a solid 5 technique player. Two more ends that look to fit into the 30-4 scheme were also drafted. Arthur Moats from James Madison and Danny Batten from South Dakota State. Both are athletic and a little undersized and both will make the conversion to linebacker. They added a couple of big bodies to their offensive line. Offensive tackle Ed Wang out of Virginia Tech is a project but he’s a good athlete that has potential to move to the left side. Kyle Calloway out of Iowa is another big tackle that may move to the interior of the line.
Unfortunately for Bills fans Levi Brown is not Tim Tebow. The Troy quarterback looks like he’ll compete for a backup spot if he even makes the roster. It’s pretty obvious Chan Gailey is looking to build his team from the offensive and defensive lines out, which is never a bad thing. But after passing on Tim Tebow it may take Buffalo fans a while to warm up to the calculated rebuilding process Gailey has planned.
