‘Hamilton is the only safety likely destined to be drafted in the top half of the first round, but a handful of high-impact safeties with upside could go in the late first or second rounds. And there are undoubtedly diamonds in the rough to be had on Day 3.’

Virginia Tech tight end James Mitchell makes Top 30 visit with Buffalo Bills, per report
‘Mitchell (6-3, 255) tore his ACL in September, missing all but two games of the 2021 season. He is expected to be healthy heading into the 2022 season.’
ESPN’s Mel Kiper loves Breece Hall, thinks No. 25 is too soon for BIlls to take RB
‘“Breece Hall is worthy of being a first-round pick,” Kiper said. “I don’t think he will be because teams don’t need that player. Even if you look at Buffalo, they have Devin Singletary who came on strong at the end of the year. … If you look at Buffalo in the second round – maybe. If Buffalo didn’t take a running back in Round 1, I have Kenneth Walker going there.”’

Buffalo Bills’ Brandon Beane comes in at top of NFL GM power rankings
‘The Bills’ transformation since McDermott’s hire in January 2017 could be taught in a college-level course on how to rebuild a franchise. McDermott helped to hire Beane in May of that year, and they’ve hit every right note since, from big trades (Stefon Diggs, moving up for Josh Allen) and savvy draft picks (Tre’Davious White, Dion Dawkins, Matt Milano) to knowing which veterans to reward (Jordan Poyer, Micah Hyde) and when to move on (John Brown, LeSean McCoy). They have a defensive coach, yet prioritized building an offensive roster around Allen. They always seem to find value in free agency (SEE: this year’s pickups of Jamison Crowder, O.J. Howard, Rodger Saffold, DaQuan Jones and Duke Johnson).’
