‘Buffalo’s decision makers are hardly looking at Wang like a consolation prize, however, and the 6-5, 314-pound former tight end has a better-than-average chance to win the starting left tackle job once training camp rolls around.’

Strategy and personnel
‘Finding hybrid defensive end/outside linebackers continues to be a point of emphasis for the Bills as they build their roster with an eye toward training camp in July. Among the team’s college free agents is Auburn’s Antonio Coleman, who had an extremely productive college career, earned back-to-back SEC first-team honors, and still went undrafted. At 6-2, 255 with some injury issues, Coleman was a pass-rushing end at Auburn and finished with 24 1/2 career sacks. As a senior, he had 10 sacks, 16 1/2 tackles for loss, five batted passes and two blocked kicks. But his "tweener" size scared teams off. Still, in Buffalo’s new 3-4 scheme he has a chance to make an impact, along with Danny Batten, the team’s sixth-round pick out South Dakota State.’
Notes, quotes
‘General manager Buddy Nix was true to his word. He added a fourth quarterback to Buffalo’s muddied quarterback pool, only it wasn’t the big-name player fans had clamored for.’
