Whether credit for the Buffalo Bills' 2017 draft should go to first-year coach Sean McDermott or ex-general manager Doug Whaley, who was fired after the draft and then praised for his work in it, the team should be pleased with the early returns from its six selections. Three of those players -- cornerback Tre'Davious White, offensive tackle Dion Dawkins and linebacker Matt Milano -- were starters at the end of the regular season.
