ORCHARD PARK Vosean Joseph Buffalo Bills Jersey , N.Y. (AP) — Bills general manager Brandon Beane doesn’t believe in having too many offensive linemen.Buffalo’s backfield also got a little more crowded.A day after addressing the team’s biggest need by selecting defensive tackle Ed Oliver in the first round, Buffalo traded up two spots in the second round to draft Oklahoma offensive lineman Cody Ford 38th overall on Friday.The Bills added youth to an aging backfield, which includes LeSean McCoy and Frank Gore, by choosing Florida Atlantic running back Devin Singletary with the 74th pick.Buffalo then completed its second trade by moving back into the third round to select Mississippi tight end Dawson Knox with the 96th pick. The Bills gave up their two fourth-round selections, 112th and 131st overall, in a trade with Washington.If there was a major theme to Buffalo’s offseason, it was a continued effort to overhaul what had been a patchwork offensive line last year.Ford’s addition comes after the Bills signed six veteran linemen in free agency over the past two months, and he increases Buffalo’s number of linemen to a whopping 14.“We believe in winning up front. and there were frustrating times when some of the games we didn’t win last year, I think it came down to losing the battle up front,” Beane said.“I said, if nothing else this year, we’re going to fix that,” he added. “There was an effort to fix a lot of that in free agency. But we also wanted to add youth.”The Bills were so high on Ford, who will be given a chance to compete for the starting job at right tackle Vosean Joseph NFL Draft , they dealt their second of two fifth-round draft picks — 158th overall — to move up two spots in a trade with the Oakland Raiders to select him.Listed at 6-foot-3 and 329 pounds, Ford earned first-team Big 12 honors with 14 starts at right tackle as a junior last season. He also has experience playing guard.Ford was initially projected to be a first-round selection and was still in Nashville, Tennessee, where the draft was held. He was watching the draft on television in his hotel room when his name was called.Though disappointed, Ford put a positive spin on having to wait an extra day.“You never know what’s going to happen,” he said. “This situation could be better than any situation in the first round.”After playing just three games before breaking his left leg in 2016, Ford returned to start 12 games at left guard in 2017. Last year, he was credited with a team-best 127 knockdowns while allowing just two sacks.“He had to overcome a ton here at OU,” Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley said in a release issued by the school. “He’s one of the nastiest offensive linemen I’ve ever coached, and I think he was probably the most dominant tackle in the country last year.”Buffalo closes the draft with four picks over the final for rounds on Saturday when the Bills are expected to address depth needs at linebacker and receiver, and special teams units.Running back wasn’t considered a major need either after the Bills signed Gore last month and T.J. Yeldon on Monday. However, Beane noted the 21-year-old Singletary adds an element of youth to a backfield with Gore set to turn 36 and McCoy 31 by the start of next season.Beane also made clear Singletary’s addition does in no way jeopardize McCoy’s status as the team’s workhorse.“LeSean McCoy is still here before you ask that question,” Beane said. “He’s still the starter.”In the 5-foot-7, 203-pound Singletary Vosean Joseph NFL Jersey , the Bills added a dynamic, but undersized player whom Beane referred to as being “the funnest guy I’ve watched all year.”“Rare instincts for the position,” he added. “He’s a smaller guy. I wouldn’t call him a home-run hitter, but he can make guys miss in a phone booth.”At 5-7, 203 pounds, Singletary had 4,287 yards rushing and scored 66 touchdowns in 38 career games over three seasons. In 2017, he became the first Florida Atlantic player to earn All-American honors after he had 1,918 yards rushing and scored 32 TDs.Knox is listed at 6-4 and 254 pounds, and was limited to 39 catches for 605 yards in 18 games for Ole Miss.Beane believes Knox was under-utilized at college, and believes he has the potential to play a larger role in the receiving game. Our look at the tackle turned tight end Jake Fisher"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections NewsNotesOpinionAnalysisDiscussionPodcastNFL DraftSalary CapNFL Free AgencyAnalysisNotesAll-22 analysis: Buffalo Bills free-agent addition, tight end Jake FisherNew,19commentsOur look at the tackle turned tight end Jake FisherEDTShareTweetShareShareAll-22 analysis: Buffalo Bills free-agent addition, tight end Jake FisherEven with the addition of Tyler Kroft Vosean Joseph Jersey Draft , the Buffalo Bills were woefully thin at the tight end position. To help remedy this before the draft, they signed former Cincinnati Bengals tight end Jake Fisher. You know, offensive tackle Jake Fisher. Apparently ready for a switch, Fisher has dropped down to 285 lbs and is ready to run routes. There’s very little NFL tape on Fisher in the receiving department but, what the heck, let’s take a look anyway. Play 1From the look of things, this play is drawn up just for Fisher. The second blocker to pick up the assignment Fisher vacates is well-timed. There’s nothing spectacular about the route or speed but Fisher stays in stride despite twisting to look for the ball. This is his first and best foray into the world of receiving. It also answers the question of how one would go about tackling someone this large. Play 2The clip pretty much speaks for itself. It’s a little less likely that Fisher can direct Jerry Hughes out of way like Play 1. Luckily for Fisher, Hughes doesn’t attack. The pass is a little low, but it’s one you’d want a tight end to come up with. Nigel Bradham is there to clean up regardless, but a small gain is better than none. Oh yeah, Bradham will get another shot at chasing Fisher before we’re done. Play 3The Bengals weren’t shy about using Jake Fisher as an extra lineman and eligible receiver. Mostly it was to block, but occasionally they’d let him run a route. The defense is surprised initially and an earlier throw is a touchdown. By the time it arrives, it’s a jump ball and Jake Fisher isn’t quite ready to win it. This wasn’t an interception, but it should have been. Play 4Here’s Fisher again as an extra lineman. He has the luxury of knowing the play call and drives his man to the inside to open up the edge. Fisher leans in close and gets his body and arms low. This allows him to handily win. If you’re going to watch a clip more than once Infant Vosean Joseph Jersey , this is my recommended one. Fisher uses this technique to devastating advantage on a regular basis. Play 5This play occurred directly after the last one. The Bengals featured Fisher heavily as an extra lineman in this game, potentially to set up this play. Another quick grab at the line and off Fisher goes. If you were to draw up a catch opportunity for an offensive tackle, this likely isn’t it. The high throw is fine here as it allows the ball to clear the defender. Fisher elevates and not only gets a hand on it but pulls it to his chest. He doesn’t seem used to securing as he falls and the ball pops out. All told though, this is a heck of a try. Play 6This is essentially the same thing as Play 1, but the compressed field means there’s someone closer to Fisher at the top of the route. He does a good job boxing out and this should have been a touchdown. The pass is uncatchable though. Play 7The prior plays were all in the 2015 season. His sixth and final target shown here was in 2016. Fisher not only sells the block on Bradham but actually blocks him before heading out for the pass. Bradham catches on and chases after Fisher. A well-timed punch dislodges the ball. Play 8Remember the clip I recommended looking at closely? Here’s a view of a similar block with a slightly better angle. The close contact allows excellent leverage. He initiates with his shoulder at the same time as his hands. That and hand positioning mean extending his arms can do...well, this. An off-balance opponent is no match. Play 9Fisher wasn’t perfect by any means at left tackle, but this is a pretty representative look. He’s using some hand fighting and delays his man but it isn’t a universal victory. Play 10Sometimes a lineman will let the defender by quickly so they can get to the second level and block. That doesn’t appear to be the case here as Fisher twists in a fruitless attempt to slow down J.J. Watt. This also puts him in poor position for the second block. Fisher seemed to struggle with swims, rips and sidesteps, which might be a reason he never broke the starting lineup with the Bengals. SummaryThere sadly isn’t enough NFL footage of Jake Fisher as a tight end to give definitive answers, but from the six targets he’s seen there’s enough to understand why he’s trying to make the position switch. Hopefully the weight drop will increase speed and agility but fans would be wise to temper expectations. Though he’s down to 285 he was on the lighter side for a tackle at 305. And he’s still 20-30 lbs heavier than many tight ends. Fisher could still carve out a spot on the team as he may have a legitimate claim to be the best blocking tight end in the NFL. It was hard not to make highlight-reel content of plays like number eight above. Even with opponents paying attention, there’s been plenty of times Fisher leveled people. He wasn’t a complete lineman, but that shove is something else.
