NFL Draft 2022: Mel Kiper’s latest mock has Bills addressing defensive interior
‘With free agency looming, Wyatt, a versatile defensive tackle that can play at the 1-tech or 3-tech position, makes plenty of sense. Harrison Phillips and Vernon Butler are both set to hit free agency. The latter is likely not in the team’s plans, but it’s possible that Phillips returns after a strong 2021 campaign.’

McDermott: “change is good once in a while”
‘“Change is good once in a while,” McDermott said while speaking from a podium to a large gathering. “It’s different. I think there’s different perspectives that are brought to the table. New ideas. And I think that continues to challenge the norm and the standard, and I think that’s healthy. With that, though, comes some challenges of building that team that is within the overall team. So the staff, to me, represents a team within the team. The chemistry on the staff, getting people on the same page with how we’re teaching, whether it’s fundamentals, our offensive playbook, our defensive playbook, special teams, that’s critical, because then you’ve got to teach it a certain way and I think all of those little things lead to success on the field.”’

Continuity for Josh Allen was key in Bills promoting Ken Dorsey to OC
‘“Even though we’ve got a new o-line coach we don’t have to change all the protections, you know he’s coming in to kind of learn our system.

Ken’s gonna have his own nuisances, everybody does to how they do things but a lot will be the same and we just felt in the end that was the most important.”’
