Bills

Bills GM Brandon Beane says the team is set up to take the best player available at No. 9 in the first round. 

“I don’t feel like we have a glaring hole on the roster,” Beane said via Joe Buscaglia. “Not saying that we don’t have needs, but we don’t have a glaring hole this year. At least we’ve accomplished that.”
