Two Bills Drive

'Tight end Gerald Christian and S Phillip Thomas were also released from the roster.'

'“They’re in a position where if you can convince somebody that wanted to come up to where you’re picking in the first round and get more multiple picks in the middle rounds of this draft, which is the sweet spot to me, that third, fourth round area you can get a lot of starters there,” said NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah. “Second round caliber players, you’re going to get them in the third, fourth and in some positions maybe even the fifth round this year.”'

'“I don’t think I was ready to be a pro yet and all the things that go with it,” said White. “Darby was actually one of the guys who convinced me to go back to school. He was telling me the ins and outs, the real side that other people weren’t telling me. I think I made the right decision by going back.”'

'I've said all along that Taylor isn't the answer. The Bills should be willing to take a step back and find a real franchise QB in the draft. If McDermott is such a smart guy, he should recognize that and want to build a real contender. If the report is true, he's just another ambitious new coach being driven by his own ego.;

'Players like Woods made big-time money in free agency. It's all but certain he'll get at least $8 million per year, which figures to put the Bills in a tough spot. While they would certainly like to retain a player they've drafted and developed, they simply don't have the cap space to make him that type of offer. Woods figures to find a big offer elsewhere, and the Bills might be forced to look to the draft for his replacement.'

'CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora believes the Browns are primed to land current Buffalo Bills QB Tyrod Taylor in free agency, if released by the team. The Bills have until March 11 to pick up Taylor's option and the team seems to be content to hold off on announcing their decision until the the last possible moment. At the NFL Scouting Combine, head coach Sean McDermott explained that the team is taking exhausting every ounce of time.'

'“This is one of the few years where I can say that throughout the draft I can probably find you a defensive back later in the draft,” said NFL Network draft analyst Charles Davis. “It used to be after the first three rounds I was like, ‘I’m out. I can’t find anyone for you.’”'

'“I love Corey Davis out of Western Michigan,” Davis told Buffalobills.com. “He’s run a ton of routes. He runs inside routes. He runs outside. He has great concentration on the football. Speed is going to be a question.'

'The Browns, Jets, Bears and 49ers are the teams with the biggest need for a starting quarterback, so they figure to be in the mix along with the Bills (again, if the team releases Taylor) for players like Kaepernick and Glennon.'

'Alexander's breakout season very well may have priced him out of Buffalo. He deserves to chase one final big payday coming off his breakout year, and the Bills simply don't have the space under the salary cap to give it to him. It would be great to get Alexander back, but his age, contract expectations and scheme fit all add up to him being a better fit elsewhere.'

'The Bills need to draft a quarterback this year, especially if they cut ties with Tyrod Taylor, and as fate would have it, none of the three highest-rated prospects — Clemson’s DeShaun Watson, Notre Dame’s DeShone Kizer and North Carolina’s Mitch Trubisky — is considered to be a worthy choice at No. 10 overall.'

'“For three years I primarily played in the slot at East Carolina,” said Jones. “I wasn’t an outside receiver. And then Coach Phil came to me and said, ‘Hey, if you want to play in the National Football League, you’ve got to play some outside. With your frame, with your size, with your skill set and your ability, we’ve got to get you outside.’”'

'Kamara is forecast as a second-round pick. If he is taken in round two that is something he’ll have in common with McCoy, who was a second-round pick of the Eagles in 2009.'

'According to La Canfora, Whaley, team president Russ Brandon and senior vice president of football administration Jim Overdorf decided at the end of the 2016 season to move on from Taylor, who was benched for the Week 17 season finale after Rex Ryan was fired.'

'Gilmore, who had a career-best five interceptions last season, was known to have been seeking at least $15 million per year, putting him in line with fellow cornerback Josh Norman, who received a five-year, $75-million package to join the Washington Redskins as a free agent in 2016.'
