‘Tenny Palepoi is 27-years old. He signed with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent, and stuck with the team for four years. He has played 44 games for the Chargers, but never started a game. He’s 6’2” 300 lbs and as Field Yates mentioned, he was a teammate of Star Lotulelei at Utah. Palepoi recorded his first and only career sack last season.’

‘The Bills’ move clears room on the team’s roster, while also exposing yet another hole on what had been a veteran-laden offensive line that helped Buffalo lead the NFL in yards rushing in both 2015 and ’16.’

‘To put that all into perspective, if the Bills were to actually use all six of those selections in those currently slotted spots, they’d be only the second NFL team in a decade to make six of the first 96 picks, and would be only the third to do it since the league expanded to 32 teams.’

‘Jackson ranks third on the Bills’ all-time rushing list with 5,646 yards, behind only Hall of Famers Thurman Thomas and OJ Simpson. He also ranks fifth in receptions with 322 catches. In 2010, Jackson became the first player in NFL history to accumluate 1,000 rushing and 1,000 kickoff return yards in the same season.’

‘The regular season schedule is expected to come out the week of the NFL Draft which begins on April 26th.’

‘Incognito has spent the past three seasons with the Bills, and recently took a pay cut for the final year of his three-year contract. According to Spotrac, Incognito was in line to make $4.75 million this season as a result of the pay cut.’

‘Mayfield has been busy since the combine and his pro day in March – having visited Cleveland last week and New York to meet with both the Jets and Giants over the weekend.’

‘Much like the other top quarterbacks in this class, Rosen has his faults. Those faults, however, haven’t really been tied to his play on the field but rather his maturity level. His head coach Jim Mora Jr., who was fired at the end of the season, spoke with MMQB’s Peter King about the issues that surround Rosen as a franchise quarterback.’

‘If they stray from the plan now, they’ll be chasing the same thing again later. Next year. The year after. Maybe the year after that. In other words, exactly the same position they’ve been in for almost the last two decades. Regardless of however many good players they select at other positions.’

‘Fede was originally a seventh round pick of the Dolphins in the 2014 NFL Draft, and is the first player to ever be drafted out of Marist.’

‘”The Bills didn’t do everything they’ve done to get to 12 and be left on the outside looking in as four quarterbacks possibly go in the top-five. They didn’t get here just to get a quarterback, maybe the fifth guy or maybe the sixth guy. Depending on how things play out in front of them, they’ve gotten this far to eventually get into a position where they can control their own destiny. They can be in a position to get, if not the quarterback they covet, then one of the top two quarterbacks in this draft or at least to have their pick of a few quarterbacks in a spot where there’s likely to be more than one available.”‘

‘The Bills have the ammunition to move anywhere that they need to, including at pick 4. But the Bills would be allowed to exercise patience with both Mayfield and Rosen being available as of pick 4. The best part of this trade up? It’s only 5 spots, which would allow the Bills to keep pick 22 in the first round. Buffalo would give up 12 (1st), 53 and 56 (2nd) and 65 (3rd) in this deal.’

‘These quotes are very telling of a couple of things. For one, Beane is actively trying to move up in the NFL Draft. Also, Beane would be willing to trade up “twice more”. That could mean trading up to the Buccaneers pick at 7 or the Broncos at 5 before leaping even further.’

‘Bills’ players will first meet on Monday, April 16 as part of “Phase One.” Each team’s program is conducted in three phases…’.

‘”One of the things that stands out in his personality is how much he is motivated by criticism. This guy reads everything that’s written about him, and he uses it when he’s working out. A lot of guys are motivated that way.”‘
