'Sure, we all tend to put too much stock into 40's but Spence's 4.80 raised eyebrows for the wrong reasons. Many viewed him as the best edge rusher in the draft. Meanwhile, Nkemdiche had a solid workout (at 6-foot-3 and 294 pounds, he ran a 4.87 in the 40, benched 225 pounds 28 times and had a 35-inch vertical), but could also be set for a draft-day fall. Nkemdiche admitted he was "lazy" at times on the field, said the media tarnished his name, that nobody wanted to take the fall for the drugs in his hotel room and casually noted that potential No. 1 overall pick Laremy Tunsil was in the room. Quite possibly, two players with Top 10 talent fall to Buffalo. Then, it's decision time.'

'Lynch is widely expected to be a first-round pick and could be gone by the time the Bills are on the clock with the No. 19 pick. That said, if the Bills are hoping to land a quarterback with their first pick, Lynch might be the only one of the top three available. California's Jared Goff and North Dakota State's Carson Wentz are expected to be long gone.'

'If the Bills do tag Glenn, it will most likely be the “non-exclusive” franchise tag. That means other teams can negotiate with the former second-round pick, and even sign him to an offer sheet. But the Bills would then have the right to match that offer, or receive two first-round draft picks as compensation.'

'Generally a coach learns and improves with games under his belt. Ryan seems to be coaching in reverse. Take it from a native New Yorker, Ryan’s restless act wears thin when his defense rests. If something doesn’t change, he will join his brother on the conveyer belt of coordinators who just weren’t good enough to cut it on Broadway. Or in Buffalo.'

'The two quarterbacks went into the NFL Combine widely seen as the top two prospects at their position and both proved it on the field. Goff was the most consistent and accurate quarterback in his workout group during the throwing sessions. Wentz was even more impressive. He clearly had the best arm strength and proved he has a great deal of athleticism to match.'
