‘Health issue. Sweat underwent tests before the Combine and it was reported that a heart condition was found. He was able to test at the combine but it’s a red flag teams are going to have to discuss.’

‘The Bills and head coach Sean McDermott want an interior pass-rusher on defense and not the big space-eaters they have now. Oliver’s ability to penetrate and shoot gaps makes him a perfect fit in the team’s 4-3 scheme.’

‘“With (Montez) Sweat, I did my conference call yesterday in the morning and then in the afternoon I made my medical calls. I talked to a couple different teams to get all the medical information. There is some legitimate concern there (regarding Sweat). So I think when you’re looking at somebody potentially that could fall, Montez Sweat would fall under that category. But I also hear when it comes to the Bills they’re a team that would be more than open to trading back. So maybe that’s a situation where if you’re not comfortable with Montez Sweat right there, you think maybe you can trade back get some more value maybe you’d be more likely to take a Brian Burns or a Montez Sweat a little lower.”’

‘“In terms of a team getting better, I’ll go right to the Buffalo Bills,” Kiper said. “Support Josh (Allen). Josh Allen proved he could be a big-time quarterback. He made plays last year and I watched every snap he took. I watched throws that were great throws called back for penalties on successive plays and they put him way behind the chains. I watched dropped passes put them in bad down and distance situations. I saw him compete. I saw him do things that other quarterbacks, even veterans, couldn’t do. Athletically, competitiveness is phenomenal. The arm, we know he has. Some of the layups, for whatever reason, he’ll just miss a few of those throws that make you scratch your head a little bit. But if he can just even things out a bit, keep working –which he will—I think the Buffalo Bills… People are just sleeping on the Buffalo Bills for some reason.”’
