With the Third Pick in the NFL Draft...

The Buffalo Bills have selected Marcell Dareus from Alabama.

Dareus is a defensive lineman from the University of Alabama. He is 6'3'' and weighs in at 319 pounds.

He was named the defensive MVP of the BCS National Championship Game in January 2010. Dareus  recorded 11 sacks and more than 60 tackles during his final two seasons at Alabama, and earned third-team AP All-American honors following the 2010 season.

Dareus follows in Ndamukong Suh's footsteps, being the second defensive tackled selected number two overall  in a row.

Dareus is a big strong lineman who will be sure to cause trouble for opposing offenses. He should be able to come in an make an instant impact for the Bills, whose defense was terrible last season.

  1. I like this pick by Buffalo.

    This draft should be interesting, but would be more interesting if teams could trade players for picks. Hopefully the teams will improve upon their ability to get value for their draft position. There have been some real busts over the years, Leaf and Russell, just to name two. Over the past 15 years or so, Pittsburgh has gotten the most value for its picks and Detroit has gotten the least.
