I wouldn't go with Treadwell in the 1st either. Regarding Spence, it would depend entirely on how the 1st round goes before the Bills' selection at #19.

@PFF_College

PFF scouting report for @seniorbowl standout Noah Spence—best fit is at 3-4 OLB, but could rush as a 4-3 DE. https://t.co/kTXGDQ6ERq

 

 

Agreed...If there is a run on D-line who knows? And that can happen for sure...But I think teams that are a bit desperate for Offense are going to figure they better grab who they want in the 1st...Because it's thinner...So I'm thinking a player like Spence...Maybe even Kevin Dodd or Shaq Lawson...will slide through...It's SO interesting this year...The talent at D-line/3-4 OLB is impressive to say the least...If the Bills were to grab 2 players from that position group at #19, and #49...and they hit on both...This Defense becomes really, really nasty in the front 7... B-)

Pats trade up for troubled star? Draft moves for each AFC East team
Which players should each AFC East team target in the 2016 NFL draft? Steve Muench of Scouts Inc. picks three good fits for the Bills, Dolphins, Patriots and Jets.

Buffalo Bills

Day 1: Laquon Treadwell, WR, Ole Miss

Buffalo runs a run-heavy offense by today's standards, but general manager Doug Whaley should look to improve a passing game that finished 28th in the league last season. While Treadwell doesn't have great top-end speed (4.63 40 at his pro day), his big frame and strong hands regularly result in him making contested catches and he's productive after the catch. He's also an excellent blocker making him a good fit for the scheme. With Sammy Watkins and Treadwell on the outside, Robert Woods would compete for the No. 3 role where he has the potential to be more effective.

 

Day 2: Kenny Clark, DT, UCLA

Buffalo's run defense finished 16th in the league last year and 323-pound defensive tackle Stefan Charles signed with the Lions. Underrated Kyle Williams agreed to a pay cut, but he's coming off a season-ending knee injury and turns 33 in June. At 6-foot-2 and 314 pounds, Clark is an outstanding run-stopper with the quickness to disrupt plays in the backfield and the strength to anchor in a phone booth. He has some upside as a pass-rusher and he's versatile enough to line up on the inside or the outside in head coach Rex Ryan's scheme.

Top five NFL draft needs for all 32 teams
Lance Zierlein provides the top five draft needs for every NFL team, including the Super Bowl champion Broncos, who suddenly have a glaring need at the game's most important position.

 

AFC East Buffalo Bills

Top 5 needs: OT, DL, WR, LB, K

No. of selections: 8

Draft picks: Round 1 (19), Round 2 (49), Round 3 (80), Round 4 (117), Round 4 (139), Round 5 (156), Round 6 (192), Round 6 (218)

Analysis: It wasn't that long ago that the Bills selected both Seantrel Henderson and Cyrus Kouandjio in the same draft to compete for the right tackle spot. Unfortunately, it is looking like neither guy will end up becoming the starter of the future, and the Bills just might agree with that sentiment. The Bills need an upgrade in talent at most of the linebacker positions. It is also looking like time to add depth all along the defensive line.

BUF.png19. Buffalo Bills

Laquon Treadwell, WR, Mississippi: Tyrod Taylor is the quarterback in Buffalo at the moment and he'll need all the help he can get. Treadwell would be an ideal complement toSammy Watkins on the outside.

 

nope nope nope

@PFWeekly

Check out @ArthurArkush's latest mock draft... including a trade in the top 10: http://shawurl.com/arthurmockdraft

 

Alexander gives Buffalo third stud CB, insurance with Gilmore in contract year.

 

 

 

I know I pay to much attention to stuff like this...But seriously? Arkush gets paid for this stuff? I read mock picks like that one and think there has to be an agenda behind it...Give the Bills a guy they would never take to have someone slide past #19 that never would...The Bills were 8-8 last year...They have real holes in this roster at D-Line and this is a great D-Line Draft...They have holes at LB, S, WR, and O-Line depth...They have two QB's in the last year of their deals...And have been mostly shut out of Free Agency...Sure, I guess they could use another CB for depth...But let's take a 3rd CB at #19 just in case we can't sign Gilmore?...Because we're just that good and that deep...Good grief...Does Arkush think this is the 1990 Bills? Dumb... B-)

Looks like our roster shows only 4 players with the last name Williams. I know it's pre-draft and UDFA but still a little worried about our Williams depth. Any word from Whaley on this matter ? He's got his Clemson/Florida St. quota taken care of.Might be time to "Reach" to fill a need. Need help all ye DraftNiks.

Eagles GM Howie Roseman can sure talk up RBs, but he's not taking one at No. 8. Paxton Lynch is the pick, making it three QBs in the top 10.

 

BUF.png19. Buffalo Bills

Noah Spence, DE, Eastern Kentucky: They lost Mario Williams and Jerry Hughes didn't play that well last season. Spence is a big-time rusher with off-field concerns.

No more "Fall Guy" talk I presume.

NFL announces expansion of Rookie Transition Program: https://t.co/0osVpaT8pm

 

@mikerodak

Mike Rodak Retweeted Around The NFL

NFL replaces Rookie Symposium and expands it to undrafted rookies, too. Seems like a smart move.

 

@darrenrovell

NFL moving from having central rookie symposium to having each team do it. Bet it's more effective, guys have more accountability in room.
