Bills could draft Notre Dame star Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah as insurance for Matt Milano
‘“He is nothing but a consistent, all-around player,” ESPN NFL draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. said about the Notre Dame linebacker. “I mean, you watch him cover, you watch him play the outside, make plays in space … get into the backfield. He’s smart. Some of the tackles he made in one-on-one, open-field situations were remarkable. I haven’t seen a lot of that in recent years. He did it.”’
Inside the Bills’ pre-draft scouting report on Doug Flutie in year Bruce Smith was No. 1 pick
‘In his summation, Nicholas wrote, “Can do things other QBs can’t do. Super awareness and field vision, especially out of pocket. A winner. Very good arm despite unorthodox style. Clutch. … Superior accuracy. Height is ONLY problem, and a major one unless offense is built around him. Back-up … Can play in NFL for club willing to take him.” He said if Flutie were 6-foot, he would be the No. 1 overall pick.’
UB’s Jaret Patterson will likely get drafted, but probably not by the Bills
‘“He looks like a good young player,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said a while back. “Certainly has the athleticism to go with the position. We’ve got nothing but a high amount of respect for Jaret and Cam (Lewis, a former Bull who is now a Bill) and their entire program.”’

‘“It’s exciting, man.” Milano told Hays. “I got drafted there and I’m back with them. That’s my place, that’s my home and I can’t wait to get back there. Hopefully the fans will get to come out this year, which will be great … but yeah, I’m really excited that it all worked out.”’

Bills anticipate Sweeney back in 2021
‘”He’s passed his cardiologist visit and is here working out. He has a couple of follow-up visits. We anticipate having him full go,” said Brandon Beane.’
Beane focused on finding a ‘long term’ starter in round one
‘”I do think there are some positions, that you could say this guy has a shot to start,” added Beane. “There are some other guys on the board that we look at and go, ‘this guy is one heck of a player, but he’s not going to start.”‘
7 top NFL Draft prospects offer these thoughts on the Buffalo Bills
‘”The Bills are a great team, I watched them this year,” Campbell said. “They got a lot of corners that I watch, like Tre’Davious White. I know they have a powerful and great offense, and they went to AFC Championship this year. I know that they are an up-and-coming organization.”‘
Bills Today | Josh Allen ranks here on Bleacher Report’s list of top 25 NFL stars under 25
‘Given just how much Allen’s numbers spiked in 2020, it’s possible he will regress statistically in 2021. But there’s also no question that he has established himself as one of the top young signal-callers in the game—and vindicated Buffalo for drafting the former Wyoming standout seventh overall in 2018.’
Daniel Jeremiah thinks Bills won’t miss out on run on edge rushers
‘“I think he fits,” Jeremiah said of the Bills’ defense. “I think he’s a really good player. If you wanted to trade back and still go defense and find an edge rusher, I think Payton Turner probably goes off early in the second round from Houston. He’s another one who’d give them some intriguing edge rush opportunities.”’
