'The Browns, Jets, Bears and 49ers are the teams with the biggest need for a starting quarterback, so they figure to be in the mix along with the Bills (again, if the team releases Taylor) for players like Kaepernick and Glennon.'

'Alexander's breakout season very well may have priced him out of Buffalo. He deserves to chase one final big payday coming off his breakout year, and the Bills simply don't have the space under the salary cap to give it to him. It would be great to get Alexander back, but his age, contract expectations and scheme fit all add up to him being a better fit elsewhere.'

'The Bills need to draft a quarterback this year, especially if they cut ties with Tyrod Taylor, and as fate would have it, none of the three highest-rated prospects — Clemson’s DeShaun Watson, Notre Dame’s DeShone Kizer and North Carolina’s Mitch Trubisky — is considered to be a worthy choice at No. 10 overall.'

'“For three years I primarily played in the slot at East Carolina,” said Jones. “I wasn’t an outside receiver. And then Coach Phil came to me and said, ‘Hey, if you want to play in the National Football League, you’ve got to play some outside. With your frame, with your size, with your skill set and your ability, we’ve got to get you outside.’”'

'Kamara is forecast as a second-round pick. If he is taken in round two that is something he’ll have in common with McCoy, who was a second-round pick of the Eagles in 2009.'
