‘Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane didn’t overthink it. With the 23rd pick of the 2022 NFL Draft, he made the pick that made the most sense for his team, not the one that would have caused more buzz around Western New York on Friday morning.’

‘I do think the hype is getting a bit out of control, but I wouldn’t dismiss the Bills selecting the Iowa State back with the 25th overall pick.’

‘Kyler Gordon – Cornerback – Washington. This pick represents three things that all come together for the Bills: need, value, and trends.’

‘That’s when Bills general manager Brandon Beane officially picked up his phone to move up and get what many people believe to be the drafts very best player, University of Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton.’

‘The move comes as no surprise after general manager Brandon Beane told the media last month they would be exercising the option.’

‘”We’re ready to roll,” said general manager Brandon Beane during an appearance on the “Howard and Jeremy Show” on Tuesday morning. “For the most part [the draft board] is finalized. We’re doing mock drafts right now. We did some [Monday], just trying to come with different scenarios that could happen in the first two to three rounds is where we’re at.”‘

‘Populous is a design firm that is widely-regarded around the world with more than 700 staff members in 18 offices around the world. The company happens to be the largest design firm in the world that’s dedicated to designing sports and entertainment facilities.’

‘Jahan Dotson – Wide receiver – Penn State.’

‘Quessenberry is the second offensive lineman the Bills have signed that most recently played with the Titans. Buffalo signed guard Rodger Saffold at the start of the NFL Free Agency period.’

‘Kaiir Elam – Cornerback – Florida.’

‘“Man, I love these guys,” said Miller on Tuesday upon being with most of his new teammates for just over 24 hours. “You know, I knew about it. I know about the team. I know about the players here. But the collection of guys, the collection of personalities, is nothing like I’ve ever been on.”’

‘”As a quarterback, I’m just an extension of the offensive coordinator,” Allen said. “Whatever [Dorsey’s] trying to call on the field, I have to go out there and understand why and execute.”‘

‘“I’m a big fan of Jordan,” Beane told reporters Wednesday inside the Bills media room. “I think he’s done a great job here for five years. I know what’s been reported out there. I don’t talk about contracts, just like we didn’t talk about [Stefon Diggs], or Josh [Allen], or any of the other other guys. So there’s really not a lot more. I got nothing but glowing things to say about Jordan and his family. That’s probably as deep as I can get into it.”‘

‘”Yeah, I would look at both,” he said. “Depending on who the player is, and what am I giving up, what’s it going to cost me.”‘

‘“You have to think about our biggest windows,” North said, referencing the Bills and where they could be placed in the schedule over the 18-week regular season. “When we think about our biggest windows… the Bills have been on Thanksgiving quite a bit recently. They do play Detroit on the road, and somebody’s got to go to Detroit on Thanksgiving. It could be Buffalo, it could be Miami [Dolphins], it could be a cross-flex where we take a FOX game and we make it Chicago [Bears] or Green Bay [Packers], or something like that. There are options, but Buffalo has got to be one of them.”’
