In a perfect world the Bills, just like any other NFL club, would love to land a tight end in the draft that has blocking and pass catching skills that are equally effective in a prospect’s game. They bring more versatility and more unpredictability to a team’s offense. But with Oklahoma State’s Brandon Pettigrew the only all-around talent in the draft pool, the Bills are open to taking a tight end of the pass catching variety.
“I think it is fluid,” said Bills Vice President of College Scouting Tom Modrak. “We really don’t try to paint ourselves into a corner. We look and try to see where the value is for a guy and if he can help you in certain ways.”
As open as the Bills might be to taking a pass catching tight end, what has to be considered is the kind of fit such a player would be in Buffalo’s offensive scheme.
“As much as ever you have to be making sure that guy is the right guy for you and be able to utilize him,” Modrak said. “But I wouldn’t rule out the pass catching personally and a talent like that. I wouldn’t rule anything out at this point. We kind of build it and some guys will fall by the wayside.”
