With the No. 9 overall pick, the Buffalo Bills called an audible and drafted Clemson running back C.J. Spiller.
The Bills had a lot of needs heading into the draft, so taking a running back when they already had two of starting caliber on the roster didn’t make much sense.
The team has made it no secret that they are trying to trade Marshawn Lynch, but so far have had no luck.
A lot of draft gurus felt that the Bills would use this pick to take a defensive tackle like Dan Williams or a quarterback like Jimmy Clausen.
Buffalo believes Spiller with provide instant scoring because he is a home run threat and can return kicks.

The Buffalo Bills 2010 schedule has been released, and it looks rather challenging for a team that did not finish with a very good record last year.
There is no particularly difficult period on the schedule, just tough opponents littered throughout the slate.
Games at the Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots and a home contest against the New York Jets is included in the first five game stretch.
Contests at the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals and New York will pose major challenges in the second half of the schedule, as will home games against the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England.
For a team without a quarterback and with a lot of other holes, it’s hard to see the Bills getting anywhere close to the eight-win mark against this schedule.
