I'm not entirely certain, but I believe we're the only team in the NFL that has a 7th round draft pick free agent starting at quarterback, with a UDFA/Arena/NFLE starting at running back.
What is wrong with our drafts?
In descending order...
2009: top 5 stay (Maybin, Wood, Levitre, Nelson, Byrd), The Harris's and Lankster stick around. (8 picks)
2008: McKelvin, Corner, Bell and Johnson stay. 2 start. The other 6 have been cut. (10 picks)
2007: Hahahahahahahaha only Poz and Schouman (IR) remain. (7 picks)
2006: Whitner (starter) McCargo (joke) Youboty (still?) and Williams (no complaints) still around. I would guess that Butler isn't necessarily a terrible loss since it was his idea to leave. (9 picks)
2005: We were all fairly happy with Lionel Gates in the preseason, followed by only keeping Roscoe so far. (6 picks)
2004: In a stellar draft involving Lee Evans, J.P. Losman, Tim Anderson, Tim Euhus, Dylan McFarland, and Jonathon Smith. Only Evans remains. (6 picks)
2003: McGahee finds the end zone for the Ravens, Kelsay and McGee still remain, and Mario Haggan was a great late round find, doing well for the Broncos. (8 picks)
2002: 10 picks, no Bills left.
2001: 12 picks, no Bills left.
76 picks. 22 have stayed, most in poor or reserve roles.
And now...
2010: C.J. Spiller, showing some promise. Torrell Troupe, less tackles than our FB. Alex Carrington, 1 tackle. Easley, IR (management stupidity). Ed Wang, backup T. Arthur Moats, 4 tackles. Danny Batten, IR. Levi Brown, 3rd string QB. Kyle Calloway, cut.
How, exactly, do we go about "building through the draft?"
