'"I think for us, we're going to get a lot more fundamentally sound," Hughe said. "That's one thing" defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier and coach Sean McDermott "are bringing to our side of the ball. They're really focusing on fundamentals, which is great, and for everybody to understand their job and how to execute it properly, which are two huge points that we've focused on this spring."'

'Kelly's off-field issues are only one reason he's expected to last until Day Three of the draft. There is also significant concern about his injury history, which includes tearing the ACL in his right knee twice, and most recently needing wrist surgery upon injuring himself after just 12 throws during the Ole Miss Pro Day. Because of those reasons, it's possible Kelly isn't even drafted.'

'Realistically, the Bills may not be able to find a trade partner until Thursday night. Teams won't be looking to make a deal now as they don't know who will be available at pick 10, but Buffalo could at least be mentioning what they'd be looking for from respective teams ahead of time. In doing so, the Bills would be able to work out a deal quickly on draft night if another team comes calling.'

'The more picks you have, the better. However, with the needs the Bills have on both sides of the ball, it only makes sense to trade if they believe they can still get the same value further down the board.'
