For this choice blog, I am going to break down what direction I think that the Bills will go with their 10^th overall pick in this year’s draft. With picks 1-2 already solidified with Stanford quarterback going to the Colts, and RG3 to the Redskins, much is still up in the air from 3 to 10 where the bills pick. Coming into this offseason the Bills had one major hole that they needed to fill if they were looking to be a competitive team in the cutthroat division that is the AFC east. The addition of Mario Williams and Mark Anderson instantly upgrades defensive line to one of the team’s strong points. However, although many fans think that simply adding two pieces to the puzzle will completely solve it, they are sadly mistaken.  Holes in the secondary, at wide receiver, left tackle, and linebacker will need to be filled by the start of the season, most of which will be done through the draft.  Although I don’t think the Bills will get this year’s top wide receiver Justin Blackmon at 10^th overall, I think they’ll have a shot at a close second in Malcom Floyd if they want him. Personally, I would like, and expect, the Bills to look at linebacker and secondary with their tenth pick, and focus more on wide receiver in the second and third rounds, as this year’s wide receiver class has immense depth. So without any further ado,  here is my mock draft for 1-10 in this years NFL draft.

1.       Colts-  Andrew Luck QB

2.       Redskins-  Robert Griffin 3 QB

3.       Vikings- Matt Kalil OT

4.       Browns- Justin Blackmon WR

5.       Buccaneers-  Trent Richardson RB

6.       Rams- Fletcher Cox  DT

7.       Jaguars-  Morris Claiborne CB

8.       Dolphins- Ryan Tannehill QB

9.       Panthers-   Luke Kuechly ILB

10.   Bills-  Michael Floyd WR

Although I want Kuechly from Boston College, I don’t think he will fall to tenth. However if he is available, the bills should snag him. Otherwise, Malcom Floyd is their best option. I’ll take anyone but Mark Barron from Alabama. You can say whatever you want, but as a long time Bills fan, I’m just a bit leery of taking a safety this high in the draft, “cough cough, DONTE WHITNER”
