Will NFL Draft first round answer Bills’ key need?

‘In short, general manager Brandon Beane already has a 72-player roster and, over the next three days will add 10 more via the draft unless he makes a trade.’

Pollock: For Bills’ Beane, choices include trade up, down

‘“Let’s say it’s the third round,” Beane said. “We’re pick No. 74. If we’re getting close to our pick … five or six away, and we’ve got a guy rated high in the second round and he’s sticking out like a sore thumb and we’ve done our due diligence, our board is telling us, ‘Let’s try and go get this guy.’ We think he’s significantly better than the player, if he’s gone, than the one we’d be choosing from the rest of our (third-round-rated) guys.’

Draft Meter: Measuring the likelihood of which player the Bills will select

‘Quinnen Williams, DT, Alabama. Carucci: Arguably the best player in the draft, so he can’t be expected to fall to No. 9.’

Alabama’s Jonah Williams would ‘love to play O-line’ for Bills

‘“I think there’s some familiarity there, for sure,” Williams said. “I don’t know if he keeps the same verbiage and stuff. He kind of adjusted some things at Alabama, but I definitely have some familiarity with him, with that program. I think it’d be great.”’

Kentucky’s Josh Allen: Would be ‘a little weird’ having Bills’ Josh Allen as teammate

‘”I never met him, but I (got to know) him from social media,” the Kentucky Allen said. “We talked a couple times. He hit me up not too long ago. But we talked a lot. We wished each other nothing but the best. Hopefully, I get to play with him or at least play against him. And then now we’ve got a story.”‘

Bills notebook: University of Houston DT Ed Oliver: ‘Buffalo’s a great place’

‘“Buffalo’s a great place,” Oliver said during Wednesday’s pre-draft media availability at Nissan Stadium. “Oh, my God. I can’t even stress about how good their facilities are, brand new everything. I mean, just great people to be around. The D-line coach (Bill Teerlinck) is amazing. Just a great place to be around.”’

Jay Skurski’s Bills Mailbag: What should Brandon Beane do with the No. 9 pick?

‘After months of thinking about this, I’ve settled on three players as being prime targets for the Bills at No. 9 – Houston defensive tackle Ed Oliver, Alabama offensive tackle Jonah Williams and Iowa tight end T.J. Hockenson.’

5 defensive linemen the Buffalo Bills could select in the first round of the NFL draft

‘First of all, what the defense lacks is a tackle who can penetrate into the backfield and not only sack quarterbacks but blow up running plays. Kyle Williams used to be that player, but he’s retired. Star Lotulelei and Jordan Phillips will never be that player, and it doesn’t seem like Harrison Phillips will be, either.’

‘When: First round, Thursday at 8 p.m. | Second-third rounds, Friday at 7 p.m. | Fourth-seventh rounds, Saturday at noon.’

NFL Draft 2019: Buffalo Bills trade twice; go defense, offense early in 7-round mock

‘Round 1, Pick 23: Christian Wilkins, DT, Clemson.’

Draft day is here!

‘After a free agency spending spree that saw the Bills address many of the team’s biggest needs, tonight is less about filling a need and more about finding the best talent out there. The Bills organization, especially general manager Brandon Beane, have said as much throughout the long process leading up to tonight’s draft.’

Buffalo Bills enter 2019 NFL Draft as an enigma; Bills searching for ‘best player available’ at number nine

‘“You have to consider ‘what is the cost? Is there a team willing to do it? Is the cost too much to where it will jeopardize the rest of your draft or potentially future drafts?,’” said Beane about the potential pros and cons of trading a draft pick.’

Demos: Plenty of targets for Bills

‘Listen, before you go crazy reading this, just keep this in mind. For Buffalo to get its hands on Williams, it will most likely have to trade up to go and get him. That would be totally fine, in my opinion — personally, I feel that Williams is the best player in the draft.’

Ole Miss prospects could be interesting to Bills

‘Metcalf measured in at 6-foot-3, 228 lbs. and is widely belived to be the best wide receiver prospect in this year’s draft. The Mississippi native was limited to just seven games in his third and final season last year at Ole Miss due to a neck injury; but, still managed to record 26 catches for 569 yards and five touchdowns. While the numbers aren’t eye-popping, Metcalf is highly-touted prospect due to his strong showing at the combine and incredible physique.’

Capaccio: 10 things I think about the 2019 NFL Draft

‘With the signing of T.J. Yeldon last week, there’s just no need for the Bills to draft a running back now, even though the prevailing thought (including from yours truly) has been that they needed to do that and get younger at the position. Yeldon represents exactly that. He’s only 25. In fact, he was the youngest of all the unrestricted free agents in this year’s RB group. That means the Bills signed the oldest free agent RB (Frank Gore, soon to be 36) and the youngest (Yeldon). And they still have LeSean McCoy, Marcus Murphy, Keith Ford, Senorise Perry, and former rugby player Christian Wade, who doesn’t count against the roster since he was allocated as part of the International Pathways Program.’

Joe B: 22 Buffalo Bills thoughts heading into the 2019 NFL Draft

‘However, if we’re sitting here, thinking about a realistic target for the Buffalo Bills that they could come away with on Thursday night, that name is Ed Oliver — the three-technique defensive tackle from Houston.’

Buffalo Bills to announce Day 3 draft picks in Rochester on Saturday

‘The event, which will be held in Corn Hill near the Genesee Riverway Trail on Saturday afternoon from noon until 4 p.m., will include Mayor Warren announcing the Bills’ sixth-round draft pick live on television.’

6 questions with Bills 2009 first-round pick Eric Wood

‘It’s an honor to represent the Bills anytime you do something like this nationally and then at the draft is really cool. I’m really excited to get down to Nashville. It will be a quick drive for me from Louisville but [it’s] always fun to get down to Nashville…I know a bunch of other guys who are heading down there to make picks as well. It will be a lot of fun to connect [with them], but it is an honor to represent the Bills and the Bills have traditionally, these last few years, done really well in the draft. So, I’m looking forward to seeing who they select in the first round. I’ll be announcing the second-rounder.’

Bills Today: What this top draft prospect loves about the Buffalo Bills

‘“Their scheme is great and it fits me,” Oliver said. “They need a three-technique linemen and if it’s me that they call on then ‘hey I’m coming.’ Kyle Williams was great for them and I would like to watch his film and see how he lasted so long. I think I can come in right away, step up to the plate, and play. They have a unique situation where a guy retired and they need someone to come in right away and play, that would be a blessing.”’
