BRADFORD GOES TO BUFFALO
Monday, May 3, 2010
Hamilton, ON (CP) - With the first selection overall, the Inferno selected quarterback, Sam Bradford out of the University of Missouri State at St. Louis. Many projected this to be the selection as it was highly anticipated that the club was looking for a new starting quarterback with the off-field concerns arising from Ben Roethlisberger.

Bradford is expected to make an immediate impact and possibly start week one for the club. Inferno fans were elated to see this young star get drafted by the club and many are thinking this will be a great rebuilding year. Another selection expected to rekindle the fire for the Inferno, is defensive lineman, Carlos Dunlap. These two selections alone should help with the rebuilding process.

Cheers soon turned to jeers as concern arose from fans in attendance at the draft. In the fourth round, the club chose to pass over making their selections at the alloted time, causing them to drop their 49th and 62nd overall selection to 64th and 65th. Fans were found chanting "Make a Pick! Make a Pick!". The club could not be reached for comment from their war room and when they Inferno finally selected, the fans showed no interest in the players selected.

Buffalo however was not the only club to delay their selections. Other clubs managed to capitalize on this and even managed to move up as much as two spots in the draft, improving their choices and getting players they never expected to get to fill much needed holes in their roster. In recent memory, there has never been a draft with as many delayed selections. There were five in total in this draft.
