Pass rushers are a popular pick for the Bills with the 10th overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft, but NFL.com’s Charley Casserly has a new name for Buffalo.

Casserly has Illinois’ Whitney Mercilus going to the Bills at 10th overall. Here’s what he wrote.

Whitney Mercilus DE Illinois – With Buffalo transitioning to a 4-3 defense, Mercilus can fill a fresh void at defensive end.

The knock on Mercilus is his body of work as he had a breakout season in 2011. We’ll see how it affects his draft stock knowing his measurables should serve him well at the NFL Combine next week.
