The Buffalo Bills traded up two spots in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft for the right to select Oklahoma offensive lineman Cody Ford. In doing so White Matt Milano Jerseys , they moved from 40 overall to 38, and they gave the Oakland Raiders a fifth-round draft choice that they originally acquired in a trade with those same Raiders.For the Bills, the move was a no-brainer. They had to improve their offensive line this offseason, and they’ve done so, with Ford slotting in as the final piece to the puzzle. Thanks to his versatility, the only question regarding the 6’3”, 329-lb Ford is where along the line he will play. General manager Brandon Beane answered that question soon after making the selection. Beane said that although the Bills like Ford’s versatility Matt Milano Jerseys 2019 , the team intends to play Ford at the position he started 14 games last season, right tackle. When discussing the reasons for trading up, Beane spoke about Ford as if he were only a tackle.“It was starting to get thin,” Beane said. “We honestly thought when Carolina traded right in front of us, tackle was one of their needs as well. They went with a tackle, they just wanted a different tackle. We felt fortunate to get Cody.”When they saw the Jacksonville Jaguars draft Jawaan Taylor and the Carolina Panthers draft Greg Little, a bit of panic must have ensued in Buffalo’s draft room. Beane and company had their man in Ford White Vontae Davis Jerseys , but they needed to find a willing buyer in order to move up to secure him. Enter the Raiders, who took the same fifth-round choice they gave Buffalo last summer in a trade for backup quarterback A.J. McCarron.Pro Football Focus was high on Ford during his time with Oklahoma, and they rated him the fourth-best run blocker among offensive tackles in the 2019 Draft. Ford’s pass-blocking grade was excellent, as well, as the analytics outlet gave him an 80 as a pass-blocker to go with a 91 as a run-blocker.Adding Ford to a revamped offensive line that includes new additions Mitch Morse, Quinton Spain, Ty Nsehke Vontae Davis Jerseys 2019 , and Spencer Long gives Buffalo plenty of competition along a unit that underwhelmed in 2018. Next read: The New England Patriots find themselves in another Super Bowl, which means we have to wait before we address off-season topics for the teams in the division. That means this week on the AFC East roundup we take a look at the coaching hires and moves each team has made or in the Patriots case, will have to deal with before the season comes to an end. Buffalo BillsThe core coaches for the Bills are making a return with Sean McDermott, Leslie Frazier, and Brian Daboll returning to the sidelines to provide consistency for the team. The differences comes with a new special teams coach in Heath Farwell (following the firing of Danny Crossman, who led a unit ranked in the bottom of the league). Buffalo also hired Bobby Johnson to coach the offensive line. Johnson was an assistant line coach with the Indianapolis Colts last year, a team that went from fielding a league-worst line to one of the best in just a year. Something to monitor are reports that Chad Hall will become the wide receiver coach Youth Tre’Davious White Jersey , however nothing has become official at this time. New York JetsThe Jets will have a new head coach on the sidelines in Adam Gase who was fired by the Dolphins at the end of last season. Gase hired one of the best defensive minds on the market, announcing Gregg Williams as his defensive coordinator. On the other side of the ball, the Jets received permission from the Dolphins to speak with Dowell Loggains who was Gase’s offensive coordinator last year down in Miami. Gase should play a vital role in the development of Sam Darnold, so the Jets will be a team to watch next year. Miami Dolphins/ New England PatriotsThese two teams are grouped together because one impacts the other. Once the season ends for New England, it’s expected Miami will announce the current defensive coordinator of the Patriots, Brian Flores, as their next head coach. That has not stopped Flores from building his staff. Former head coach Jim Caldwell has been linked to the Dolphins to be an assistant head coach. The team is also planning to hire Patrick Graham from the Green Bay Packers to be their defensive coordinator. There has been no word recently in their search for an offensive coordinator. The Patriots do not seem to be worrying about hiring new coaches because aside from Flores Tre’Davious White Jersey Stitched , no other coaches are expected to leave the staff.
