Should Bills add quarterback help before knowing how draft unfolds?

Many NFL general managers would argue it is prudent to fill most holes in the roster before the NFL draft, using trades and free-agent signings to prevent having to find a rookie to fill a pressing need.

That strategy is harder to execute when it comes to quarterbacks because of the high cost involved.

Trades by the Buffalo Bills last year, giving them extra first- and second-round picks, have put the team in position to take a swing at drafting a potential franchise quarterback.

With an ample supply of likely top 10 picks at quarterback -- Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen -- and several potential trade partners with settled quarterback situations, there is justified buzz about Buffalo making a big move up the board from its current positions at Nos.
