It’s a day where we all just have fun, laugh, joke around. We interact with the fans. You might see me up in the crowd, talking to some kids, throwing some baseballs out. It puts our faces out there in front of the community, and I feel it’s very important.”’

Buffalo Bills draft: Here are the running backs that may still be available in middle rounds
‘“I understand the question, but I don’t want to sit here and say we need it,” he said of picking a running back. “I get it, we’ve got two guys who are over 30. We’ve paid attention to it. But I still think there’s guys who are out there, and even some in free agency, who can get on teams and help them. I think there are some guys in the draft who do have a good skillset and we’ll see how it falls.”’

‘”When the coaches get their chance to present who they like, (we have to figure out) ‘How does this guy fit?’ You’ve got a sixth-round grade on him, and he’s the last position on his roster,” Beane said. “Who does he beat out? If you’re telling me he’s definitely going to beat out somebody, you feel, barring health, that he’s going to beat out a guy, then I feel better about taking that guy than one where you say, ‘Ah, he’s going to battle with a guy that was on our practice squad last year who really didn’t make the team. I don’t know which one’s better.’ Then maybe you trade up to get a guy that you know, ‘This guy is making my roster and at a minimum, he’s helping us on special teams.’”‘
Buffalo Bills 2019 schedule released; Bills set to play Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day

‘“It helps,” began Beane. “Last year, a lot of the spring for myself and Sean (McDermott) and Brian (Daboll) and Joe Schoen and even Terry and Kim (Pegula), because quarterback is such a valuable position and commodity a lot of our time and energy was trying to make sure we had that list right because that was going to have the biggest impact on what we’re doing. To be able to spread out, so to speak, and not send everyone to the same place, I feel like our coverage is better. I feel like we’re able to get more time, more looks on more guys. Not that we missed guys, but it’s just a deeper dive on certain players. There’s only so many hours in a day.”’

‘Just the whole NFL experience. I was young coming in and learning a new system, so I have a year under my belt now.

Talking more football, more situational work since everybody now has a foundation. We’re all kind of on the same talk now as we got through it a little bit last year. But just going from there and learning from there and getting better.’
