‘The Bills currently hold the 30th overall selection. McShay mentioned the Bills have talked to teams picking ahead of the New York Jets, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Jacksonville Jaguars, scheduled to pick 23rd, 24th, and 25th, respectively.’

‘Sneaky Joe – Rondale Moore – WR, Purdue. Bulldog – Travis Etienne – RB, Clemson. Nate – Asante Samuel Jr. – CB, Florida State.’

‘Beane and the Bills’ brain trust have checked off a lot of boxes already this spring, but with the 2021 NFL Draft set to begin a week from Thursday, and a contract extension for quarterback Josh Allen still possible, Buffalo’s front office has a lot of work to do. However, the Bills appear to be in a great spot; looking like a group that may not only be a Super Bowl contender (again) in 2021, but also a competitive and exciting team for years to come.’

‘“No question. No question,” North said. “Particularly when you look at your 17 games, you’ve got to think about some of those being, kind of stand out there. They’re just a little bit bigger than the other ones. The Kansas City [Chiefs] game, for instance, when Buffalo goes out to K.C., that cannot be a 1 o’clock in the afternoon game, in September, in 15% of the country. That game has to be on national television somewhere. When you play New Orleans [Saints]. When you play New England [Patriots], twice.”’

‘“If there’s a guy on our board, hypothetically, 10 spots away, at 20, and we’re going, ‘Man, this guy really fits us. He’s everything we want. He’s going to make a big impact now and long-term,’ you have to talk about it, and of course see what it costs,” general manager Brandon Beane told reporters via a Zoom conference call on Tuesday. “Then, obviously, you’d have to have a team willing to make that move with you.”’

‘Typically, Phase 1 of the nine-week program lasts two weeks. However, the NFL sent a memo to all teams last week stating that Phase 1 will be four weeks long this year, ending on May 14, with Phase 2 beginning May 17.’

‘Adams was signed by the Bills as an undrafted free agent last year, highly touted out of the University of Washington, where he had been thought of as an early-round draft pick before injuries hurt his college career. He spent last season on the Bills’ practice squad and was expected to compete for a backup role in 2021.’

‘Cuomo’s comments came one day after Erie County Executive Mark Polancarz said he supports full capacity at all Buffalo Bills homes games for the 2021 season, but any fan who wants to attend must show proof of being fully vaccinated.’

‘Erie County Executive Mark Polancarz said on Tuesday that he supports full capacity at all Buffalo Bills homes games for the 2021 season, but any fan who wants to attend must show proof of being fully vaccinated.’

‘While there are obviously fewer numbers at several positions, two of them stand out and look much lighter than others: Offensive line and defensive back, and especially safety in the secondary.’

‘Lamp entered the league as a second round draft pick of the Los Angeles Chargers just four years ago in 2017. However, injuries plagued his career early-on, including a torn ACL suffered during training camp that year, which caused him to miss his entire rookie season.’

‘”It helps you for your planning the sooner you can get that contract done,” Beane said. “Again, I hope that we can get him done, if not this year, next year.”‘

‘When you’re in a Super Bowl window like the Bills are, it could truly be just one player inserted into the lineup to get them over-the-hump. The Bills, most likely, aren’t finding that player at pick No. 30. It might take getting into the top-20, or even top-15 to find someone who could come in and make that type of immediate impact.’

‘After spending some time with both the Atlanta Falcons and Indianapolis Colts, Douglas finally caught on with the Tennessee Titans, where he started to re-gain some traction in his career. In 2019, Douglas played in 15 games, starting five of those contests. This past season, he appeared in 14 games, but did not make any starts.’

‘Since the 2019 season, the Buffalo Bills have featured white facemasks to their uniforms twice, and both resulted in convincing wins.’
