Heading into the 2009 NFL Draft, the Bills needed to re-tool their offensive line in hopes of building a foundation for the next decade. This is an area where the Bills have struggled since the Super Bowl years when they had a starting five that they could count on. With the trade of disgruntled left tackle Jason Peters to the Philadelphia Eagles before the draft, the Bills had a second first-round pick at their disposal. They could have gone a number of different directions when they were on the clock, but when a player of Eric Wood's caliber was available late in the first round, they simply could not pass him up. Wood, a right guard from Louisville, was dominant as a rookie, and was exactly what Bills fans have been hoping for in an offensive lineman.
