‘“We thought he was a second (round pick),” Kiper said of the Utah running back. “He certainly has all the production. He’s got the versatility. In the third round last year they got Devin Singletary out of Florida Atlantic, who had a really good rookie year. He was a key element in that offense for Josh Allen. Really was a key to them getting as far as they got. I think (Moss) will be a really good one-two punch with Singletary. I like the sixth-round pick Hodgins, but I do think Moss on the third round was a steal by about a round. I thought he should have gone in the second round.”’

‘Two weeks ago, the crew of Schopp and the Bulldog decided to take on the challenge of drafting a roster of the best offensive players in Buffalo Bills history. This time, they will complete their roster of all-time best Bills players by drafting the best defensive players in franchise history!’

‘”We usually spend about 70% of our spring on our passing game, since there’s no pads. Then it gets to 60/40 or maybe 50/50 (at camp), so that’s the biggest thing we’re missing right now as far as time on task.”‘

‘Cox comes to Buffalo after spending last season with the Cleveland Browns and Carolina Panthers. He had 0.5 sacks and 14 total tackles in seven games played. Cox entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Florida in 2017, signed by the Panthers, where he spent his first two seasons, collecting 16 tackles and one fumble recovery.’

‘After drafting a RB in the third round the last two seasons, selecting Devin Singletary in 2019, and Utah’s Zack Moss in 2020, Buffalo has put together one of the most elusive RB duos in the NFL.’

‘As far as Fromm, Yahoo! included two different coaches’ feelings, with one saying “I think he will be in the league a long time. He may never be a star, but he’ll be a reliable player for a long time.” Another coach added, “Would not be surprised if Fromm has more NFL starts than one of the quarterbacks taken with a top-10 pick.”’

‘The group is meant to be a collection of leaders of the diverse industries and businesses that have been economically impacted by the state’s shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic.’

‘“I got tired of hearing Sean [McDermott] call our group the ‘smurfs,’ so we decided to get some larger ones,” Beane joked with the media immediately following the draft. “Honestly, that’s where it was on the board. We had some big guys, some slots, some guys that could play inside-out and it really just worked that way. Gabriel Davis was the highest player on our board. When he went even though it was a need, as well. He truly was the highest guy, not every guy was the highest guy, but he was. Hodgins was not the highest guy but he was equal with a position that we felt Hodgins had a better chance to make our roster.”’

‘”I didn’t necessarily go in and say, ‘Hey, we can start taking kickers and backup quarterbacks’ and things like that. It was more of what was on the board. A lot of it is an unknown. Teams value different positions, different players and different spots. The thing about this draft was that the first round was the first round, but the first two rounds for us, Friday night in Rounds 2 and 3, our board, especially going into the third, was getting cleaned out more than you would anticipate it happening.”‘

‘”I know Buffalo finished as one of the top defenses this past year, and for me to be able to come in and to have veterans to be able to watch and learn from and people like that, it’s a good situation for me to be in to learn.”‘

‘At the time, Bell was listed on the rookie minicamp roster as a 210-pound safety. However, according to the team’s official website, Bell is now 220 pounds and will be converted to linebacker.’

‘I’ll start by saying I don’t believe the Bills have the league’s best defensive line – it’s really pretty solid all around, but it may not even be featured in the top-five of NFL defensive lines. Having said that, they’re likely the most versatile in terms of position flexibility and overall player makeup in all of football.’

‘At 6-foot-2, 216 pounds, Davis is a vertical wide receiver who’s able to get down the field and high-point the ball. He’ll compete for playing time behind Stefon Diggs and John Brown as an outside receiver on the Bills roster.’

‘After leading the Bulldogs to an appearance in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game as a freshman in 2017, Fromm’s sophomore year was his best statistical season in the SEC, throwing for 2,761 yards, 30 touchdowns and six interceptions in 14 games played. He also completed a career-high 67.4% of his passes.’

‘Not too long ago, Fromm appeared ticketed for NFL stardom.’
