‘Adding another OT in the second round this year would make a lot of sense. If Ford continues to struggle at RT, Buffalo is going to need a plan B. Even if Ford does OK on the outside, adding another prospect would give Buffalo optionality as Ford was also used as a guard last summer. Depth up front is a big need . The Bills top backup OT, Ty Nsekhe is going to be 35 by next fall.’

Bills set to begin offseason program Monday, virtually
‘Phase one is normally just a conditioning phase with only strength and conditioning coaches who have no other coaching responsibilities allowed on the field with players. But there will be no on-field work this year due to the modified rules, and according to the memo, team facilities will only open “in conformity with federal, state and local rules and regulations” and if “one or more club facilities remain closed for any period of time, all club facilities must remain closed during that period.”’

Three cornerbacks who could fit the Bills at pick No. 54
‘Buffalo re-signed Levi Wallace to a one-year deal, and reunited McDermott with his CB1 from the Carolina days by signing Josh Norman to a one-year deal. Both could be just fine as a second starter who doesn’t need to ever worry about covering an offense’s best player thanks to White. But both saw their struggles in 2019. Norman’s play specifically, has declined each year, and by rapid descent since he left the Panthers for Washington.’
Three EDGE rushers who could fit the Bills at pick No. 54

Even though he played only three years at Boise State, Weaver’s played in 40 collegiate football games and can also play in multiple defenses, either with his hand on the ground as a rush-end or standing up.’
Beane says he’s ready for online draft, not thinking about trading back into first round

Bills GM Brandon Beane supports the idea of a 10-round NFL Draft
‘”When you’re doing free agency like that after the seventh round, you’ve got everybody still in your draft room or at least down the hall,” Beane told Florio. “Now, trying to communicate because you only have so many dollars that you can allocate from a bonus and so lot of times you have several deals going. Once you agree to one you’ve got to pull out of the others. If you’re chasing three tackles hoping to land one. If you’ve offered $15,000 to one and maybe you’re talking $12,000 to the other, but you don’t want them both. Once you get one in the boat you’ve got to back out on the other. It’s a moving target. I think that will be an obstacle for all teams as we work through it remotely.”’
