Capaccio: Staying true to his word, Beane stuck to his board

‘“Competition is a good a thing,” McDermott said. “I know we both believe in building it up front. If you study the league over the years, as I’m sure you guys do, you’ve got to have it on both sides of the ball. It starts up front. When you look at not only Cody, but really the other picks today and yesterday within (the first three rounds), smart, tough. There’s something to be said for those two qualities right there.”’

Bills add linebacker depth, draft Vosean Joseph in fifth round

‘At linebacker, the Bills really only have special teams assets as their backups in Julian Stanford, Corey Thompson and Deon Lacey. And while Joseph will need to fit in on special teams, he offers some potential as a backup that won’t have as steep of a drop-off if a starter goes down with an injury.’

Bills draft safety Jaquan Johnson in sixth round

‘While the Bills didn’t have a glaring need at safety, it could be a pick with a bit of foresight. Primary backup and veteran player Rafael Bush has only one year left on his contract and is a similar style of player as the Bills’ fifth-round selection in 2018, Siran Neal. Bush and Neal are both candidates to play the ‘big nickel’ role in head coach Sean McDermott’s defense, as Bush did in 2018.’

‘“I would say it’s competition, and we’re not saying that Cody’s going to start,” said Beane. “I’m not saying he’s running out with the ones that right tackle. Where he may start is with the twos. I’ll let Sean, Brian Daboll and Bobby Johnson guys decide, but the thing about Ty is we do think he can play both, you know, I wouldn’t put Cody at left. So I think versatility there with Dion (Dawkins) at left, Cody right and Ty can play either one and. And again, it’ll be the best two tackles that we feel help us that’ll start in September.”’
