Bills receive 2 comp draft picks for upcoming draft

[Ed]

Bills get a 4th and a 6th. They now have 8 picks total. I didn't realize they were even eligible to receive a 4th, but that's pretty awesome.

Excellent news!

The Bills were eligible because of the way the NFL classified the Clay signing last year.

Agreed. This is a deep draft for what we need. Fantastic.

Excellent with this draft, though it ups the cost of their draft pool with the cap.

I think the first two picks will go to a DL and LB. Unsure of which goes where. But unless there is some incredible value at another need at those two picks, it will be DL and LB

OT is a large consideration early.

OT is a large consideration early.

I'd only agree if Henderson's health is still a major concern. DL and LB have holes at the starter position(s). OT does not (if Henderson is healthy).

Whaley said he heard good news on Henderson. If he can start we need depth.

Well with dl being so deep this year they may wait. Lb is a must one could argue we need an olb and an ilb. My hope is they give Randall a shot this summer.

That being said we need at a minimum a starting ilb and starting dl from this draft. Bottom line

Could be. Yet yesterday Greg Roman was shown on NFLN standing at midfield, 10 feet behind Buckeye OT Taylor Decker as he went through his drills at the Ohio St. pro day. This Wed., Mich St. has their pro day and I'm betting Roman is there watching OT Conklin and then on to Indiana to watch OT Spriggs.

You have to think they are looking at OT hard.
