‘About the only thing that can be said with certainty is Kelvin Benjamin, acquired last season from the Carolina Panthers for a third-round draft pick, occupies the top spot. And he’s coming back from February knee surgery.’

HS coaches get up-close look at Buffalo Bills OTA
‘“The value I took from the session was seeing the obvious planning and organization a professional team puts into its practice time,” Miller said. “There was not a wasted minute in the two-hour session.

Brandon Beane on Gettleman’s Diagnosis: ”He’ll attack it head-on like he does everything else”
‘“I know he knows the Lord will watch after him. I have no doubt he’ll attack it head-on like he does everything else,” says Beane on Tuesday as his Bills are finishing up OTAs and heading into next week’s minicamp. “He faced adversity a year ago at this time.

I would give all three guys time with the ones at camp as well as during pre-season games since that would be the definition of an open competition. But the Bills are also trying to prepare for the season and not take a step back from the drought ending 2017 campaign.

‘In the upcoming season, the Bills will hope Lotulelei can be a considerable upgrade to the below average play of Marcell Dareus before the trade, and then of Adolphus Washington at the one-technique defensive tackle spot.
