Meiler: Bills strong again in quiet draft

‘I won’t begin to pretend to be some draftnik who claims to know how certain players will turn out. I could not have named four of the seven players the Bills ended up drafting before Saturday. But Beane’s history — the Bills have gotten at least three starting-caliber players out of each of his previous three drafts, and 16 of the 22 players picked remain on the team — has earned him the benefit of the doubt. Assuming he knows what he’s doing, the Bills got better this week.’

It was just surreal. Just really thankful for my family. They’ve been hanging with me for a lot of hours here recently.”’

‘”In Tyler Bass, you’re going to get a guy that’s obviously a hard worker, who loves what he does and is clutch,” said Georgia Southern head coach Chad Lunsford. “He’s a guy that is ready for every moment and he’s a guy you can send out there whether it’s the last kick of the game or the first kick of the game and he treats it the same.Tyler is a very focused individual who is mentally strong and is very confident in what he does.

‘He’s clearly more skilled than opponents when the ball is in the air, but the catch space will be tighter and the challenges more fierce as a pro.
