‘And, can you imagine the mob scene at entrance gates before kickoff or the opening faceoff with fans – especially tailgaters at Bills games who wait until the last minute – frantic to have apps scanned, ticket holders who inevitably forget their phones or those who merely protest the vaccination policy and gum up the entry process?’

NFL draft preview: Time could be right for Bills to add a cornerback early
‘To this point in the offseason, Beane has not signed a veteran free agent to compete for the starting cornerback job opposite Tre’Davious White – as he’s done the past three years. Perhaps that move is still to come, but if not, there should be options available to Beane – either at No. 30 overall in the first round, or on the draft’s second day – that come in ready to compete for a big role right away.’
Mel Kiper thinks Georgia’s Azeez Ojulari is stout enough for Bills
‘“I think when he played with his hand on the ground he was pretty effective,” Kiper said on a conference call with reporters Thursday. “He came on late in the year. He can play obviously standing up. He can cover. He’s a great talent. He’s going to keep getting better. He plays with great energy and enthusiasm for the game. You look at what he did over the final six games of the year, how he really came on. He tested well.”’

‘With the exception of Michigan’s Kwity Paye – who may be the first edge rusher selected in the 2021 draft, well before the Bills are scheduled to pick at No. 30 in the first round – the other edge rushers considered first- and second-round material fall well short on experience.’
Buffalo Bills OT Trey Adams retires: ‘72 signing out’

Adams suffered an ACL tear as a junior that that cost him six games. He gained an extra year of eligibility following the ACL tear, but two bulging disks derailed his red shirt junior year (10 games missed).’
Former UW Huskies left tackle Trey Adams announces retirement from football
‘In large part due to those injuries, Adams was not selected in the 2020 NFL draft — but signed with Buffalo as an undrafted free agent. The former four-star recruit spent the 2020 season on the Bills’ practice squad.’
Bills offensive tackle Trey Adams announces retirement
‘Adams was signed by the Bills as an undrafted free agent last year, highly touted out of the University of Washington, where he had been thought of as an early-round draft pick before injuries hurt his college career. He spent last season on the Bills’ practice squad and was expected to compete for a backup role in 2021.’
ESPN’s Mel Kiper predicts the Bills first round pick
‘At 6-3 and 240 pounds Ojulari is known for his speed and power. The Georgia native had 8.5 sacks last season while he added three forced fumbles.’
