‘From left to right: Dion Dawkins, Connor McGovern, Mitch Morse, Ryan Bates, Spencer Brown. The only position I see remotely up for grabs is Bates’ job at right guard, because the Bills used a second-round draft pick on O’Cyrus Torrence. We know McDermott is traditionally slow to rely on rookies, however, so I’ll stick with Bates as the starter in Week 1. The more interesting competition might be for reserve spots. If the team keeps nine offensive linemen, including the six listed above, that leaves just three jobs open for a group that includes Ike Boettger, David Quessenberry, Nick Broeker, David Edwards, Greg Mancz, Tommy Doyle and Brandon Shell.’
