2010 Buffalo Bills Notes


The Buffalo Bills enter the 2010 with multiple needs. Two of the priorities go hand in hand, but weren't really addressed. But like most of the teams in the draft, the Bills sured up their defense both during the draft and after.


Buffalo Bills Draft Results

The Buffalo Bills used their first draft pick on the talented running back from Clemson. CJ Spiller is a multi-purpose back that signals the end to Marshawn Lynch experiment. As the 9th overall pick in the draft, it will be seen if the Spiller's speed will be evident on a grass field and the elements that are seen during the season in Buffalo.

The problem areas of offensive line and quarterback were not really addressed during this draft. The Bills only drafted 2 offensive lineman and a quarterback from Troy State late in the draft. Spiller might take the pressure off of Edwards, or whoever else in under center this year, but can the line open holes for him to run?


Buffalo Bills Undrafted Free Agents

The Buffalo Bills continued with the defensive theme by signing two defensive players as undrafted free agents.

Linebacker Antonio Coleman is a 6 foot 4, 248 pound three year starter at Alburn. During his career he had 24.5 sacks, which ranks third in school history. Coleman was also announced as First Team All SEC in both 2008 and 2009.

The second signing was Dominique Harris from Temple. This 6 foot 2 inch was named First Team All MAC Conference in 2009. He was also the recipient of the 2009 The Owl Award for the Most Valuable Player.
