‘Davis’ size (6-feet-2-inches), ability to go up and get the ball and reliable hands likely made him an intriguing option for Buffalo. In his career at UCF, Davis caught 152 passes for 2,447 receiving yards and 23 touchdowns in three seasons. He joins the Bills after a 72-1,241-12 campaign.’

‘“I’m getting goosebumps right now because it wasn’t until after I signed a $47 million deal with the Miami Dolphins that I learned (how to play in) the red zone and how to be technical,” Marshall said. “You have something, you picked this up in high school. … What this kid is going, at this level, it took me six years to understand.”‘

‘NFL.com draft analyst Lance Zierlein had a late third/early fourth round grade on Fromm, but a disappointing performance at the NFL Combine impacted his slide in the draft. ESPN’s Louis Riddick said on the draft broadcast that he watched Fromm throw at the combine and his takeaway was that he may not have the kind of horsepower to generate the kind of arm strength required at the NFL level.’

‘Fromm was viewed as a late day-two, early day-three option by many draft analysts. At this point in the draft, Fromm provides great value to the Bills.’

‘Jake Fromm will have a better NFL career than Justin Herbert.’

‘ESPN’s Chris Mortensen said on the draft broadcast that Beane texted him and said the Bills weren’t planning on taking a quarterback in this draft but that Fromm’s value was too high at pick 167 to not take him in that spot.’

‘Bass went 54 of 68 on field-goal attempts (79.41 percent) with a long of 50 yards during his four-year career. Bass will compete for a job with current Bills kicker Stephen Hauschka.’

‘During his career at Georgia Southern, Bass went 54 of 68 on field-goal attempts (79.41%) with a long of 50 yards during his four-year career.’

‘I am not mad about the #Bills picking K Tyler Bass. Stephen Hauschka has put together consecutive poor seasons and his distance is diminishing. Bass has a booming leg and hit 93% of his FGs from inside 50 yards last year.’

‘Hodgins posted big numbers as a junior last season, catching 86 passes for 1,171 yards and 13 touchdowns. He is a bigger target for Bills quarterback Josh Allen, standing 6-foot-4 and weighing 215 pounds.’

‘Hodgins’ 20 touchdowns with the Beavers ranks second-best all-time. He is also sixth all-time in receptions (176), seventh all-time in receiving yards (2,322). His eight 100-yard games is also seventh-most all-time in Oregon State history.’

‘Although Hodgins is limited in some areas, few, if any, wide receivers have better hands than the Oregon State product.’

‘“Jackson is a super-competitive athlete always looking for work in coverage, but he will need to improve his discipline and play strength to secure an NFL roster spot, projecting as a potential reserve.”’

‘Jackson may fit best as a nickel cornerback in Buffalo. The team already has Taron Johnson starting in that role, but his durability has been an issue at times (nine games missed in two seasons).’

‘“He showed on the field this past season, as well as at the Senior Bowl, that he’s a disruptive corner and a big-time competitor.”’
