‘Dawson Knox. The former third-round pick from Ole Miss will get a full shot to prove he’s ready to blossom in his third NFL season. It was not a great year for tight ends in the draft. The top-rated tight end in the second round (Penn State’s Pat Freiermuth) and the two best tight ends in the third round (Boston College’s Hunter Long and Notre Dame’s Tommy Tremble) both were picked before the Bills selected.’

Now that the NFL Draft is over, which Buffalo Bills picks will make the roster?
‘Projected role: The Bills have time to acclimate Rousseau because they have veterans Jerry Hughes and Mario Addison returning, and they also have 2020 second-round pick A.J. Epenesa. I can see Rousseau getting about 25-30% of the rotational snaps and most likely not contributing very much on the stat sheet.’
Buffalo Bills rookie Spencer Brown could ‘Wally Pipp’ starter at offensive tackle
‘NFL Network’s Charles Davis recently raved about the Bills’ third-round pick when chatting with Chris Brown and Steve Tasker on One Bills Live earlier this week.

Bills give Devin Singletary, Zack Moss vote of confidence (Post-2021 NFL Draft winners/losers on Buffalo’s roster)
‘Buffalo did not make any attempt to move up for a back and they did not select a back at all in the 2021 draft. That makes Devin Singletary and Zack Moss the biggest winners on the Bills’ roster post-draft. The young backs, both former day two picks, will have a chance to show that they can handle the workload for the team. Of course, nothing will be given to Singletary and Moss. The team’s top two backs from 2020 will face some competition from Antonio Williams and Matt Breida.’

2021 NFL Draft: What the Bills didn’t do and one thing Buffalo definitely got right
‘Levi Wallace lives to see another day. As usual. The 2018 undrafted free agent always seems ripe to be replaced at the vital cornerback spot opposite Tre’Davious White. Yet he continues to stick around and earn that No. 2 cornerback job when the season rolls around. Since Wallace’s arrival into the starting lineup late in the 2018 regular season, the Bills haven’t used a pick earlier than the sixth round on a cornerback.’
Staying close to home paid off in more ways than one for Bills draft pick Damar Hamlin
‘“It was us at first, just me and my mom and my dad and they taught me hard work. They taught me you gotta work for everything you and basically they just taught me all of the lessons of life,” Hamlin said.’
Greg Rousseau’s HS coach says he has a ‘kill switch’
‘”He’s a million miles per hour between the whistle, but when that whistle blows he goes back to being himself. He’ll literally go and kill the quarterback but at the same time he’ll babysit his kids. He’s that kind of guy,” added Clavijo. “That’s what makes him special.”‘
