In comments made to the media on Tuesday, Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane indicated they won’t be going out of their way to try and find an instant starter with their first pick. Beane’s comments indicate that Buffalo is more interested in finding a player for the long haul. If that means they don’t start immediately, then so be it.
“At 30 we’re going to take the best player we can,” said Beane. “We’ll think more long term than short term. Whether they can start will depend on the position it is. There are some on board who have a shot to start, while others who won’t start right away [but] might a year from now.
