If there is anybody remotely close to being taken in the top 10 as a guard, it will be Dan Feeney from Indiana. Feeney has been described as a ‘mauler’ and capable to fit in any offensive scheme. He has experience paving the way for Falcons RB Tevin Coleman and faired well at the Senior Bowl.
I am not predicting that Feeney will be taken at #10, but IF anybody listed as guard is picked a #10, it’s him. Feeney could push Miller to the bench as a rookie and John Miller off the bench means that the offensive line depth just got that much better.
The best improvement is depth and competition, and picking Feeney here would do that. If Feeney is on the Buffalo Bills mind, it serves them best to trade down, or hope he drops slightly, if there is a run on a different position, and trade up to get him with their 2nd round pick.
Let’s see if there are any other prospects the Buffalo Bills should target in a later round.
