With the ninth pick of the 2010 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills select: Bryan Bulaga, offensive tackle, Iowa.
The Bills have a lot of needs, but no roster group is as bad as their OL. Last year they traded away LT Jason Peters and tried to replace him with Langston Walker, and he ended up in Oakland(Nuff Said). Then their most promising young linemen in Eric Wood broke his leg badly last year against the Jaguars, and probably won’t be at full speed to start the 2010 season. Then making matters worse; the best linemen they had left, in starting RT Brad Butler, retired this offseason. If Bulaga had longer arms most people would agree that he would be next best LT in the draft. But considering how well their short armed 2009 2nd 2nd round pick in Andy Levitre played, and the probable interest in returning to a strong run game, the NFL ready Bulaga has to be their pick; as boring and anticipated as that sounds.

Wow, good explanation and good pick
This is a situation where a team HAS to make a need pick. Kind of like how the Jags were a couple of years ago when all the starters went down.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.
I also forgot
that Langston Walker’s replacement in Demetrius Bell, tore his ACL as late as December. So he wont be ready at the start of the season, by my estimations.
Boring picks are sexy
Get the fat boys early
Ignore the hype; look at the results.
