Here's how I see it: This team has 3 glaring needs: CB, LB and RB, and several positions that could use an upgrade, most notably TE and #2 WR.
Now, teams with that many needs don't have the luxury of going best player available (BPA)- they have to consider team needs. But in a sense, this worked to Buffalo's advantage- we got to pick the BPA in the 3 positions where we have the biggest need.
With Willis off the board, Beason or especially Poz would have been a huge reach at 12. Hall is overrated (a lot of draft gurus missed this but the NFL scouts didn't) and Revis would have been a bit of a reach as well.
So, Marv filled the position with the BPA at RB because the BPA's at LB and CB would not have been good value for the 12th pick.
I'm still very concerned about the LB position and would like to see a trade up to grab Beason, Poz or Harris, but I think Marv handled the first pick well.
