A+ grade for TE Dawson Knox
"This is what Josh Allen needed" – @AdamLefkoe
"I compare him to Greg Olson. I had a round 2 grade on Dawson Knox" – @NFLDraftScout

By my count, after the 2019 NFL Draft and the reported signing of UB QB Tyree Jackson as a UDFA, the #Bills have 9 roster spots remaining for priority UDFA players. They have a total of 82 players at the moment, but RB Christian Wade does not count towards the 90.

Great quote from Vosean Joseph on his conference call regarding playing special teams: “I love playing on kickoffs, because it’s like hitting people for free.” #Bills #NFLDraft

Welcome (back) to Buffalo, Tyree Jackson!
Only minutes after the 2019 #NFLDraft ended, the #Bills signed the #Bulls former QB as a UDFA. And it makes sense: https://t.co/dY5qDCg0Ue

Once again, and on paper, I'm impressed by the unflinching way in which McDermott and Beane have rebuilt the #Bills in two short years.
It's gone from a roster filled with over-priced, under-achieving talent, and an unmatched mix of players from past regimes …
