ORCHARD PARK Eddie Yarbrough Jerseys 2019 , N.Y. (AP) — Bills general manager Brandon Beane doesn’t believe in having too many offensive linemen.Buffalo’s backfield also got a little more crowded.A day after addressing the team’s biggest need by selecting defensive tackle Ed Oliver in the first round, Buffalo traded up two spots in the second round to draft Oklahoma offensive lineman Cody Ford 38th overall on Friday.The Bills added youth to an aging backfield, which includes LeSean McCoy and Frank Gore, by choosing Florida Atlantic running back Devin Singletary with the 74th pick.Buffalo then completed its second trade by moving back into the third round to select Mississippi tight end Dawson Knox with the 96th pick. The Bills gave up their two fourth-round selections, 112th and 131st overall, in a trade with Washington.If there was a major theme to Buffalo’s offseason, it was a continued effort to overhaul what had been a patchwork offensive line last year.Ford’s addition comes after the Bills signed six veteran linemen in free agency over the past two months, and he increases Buffalo’s number of linemen to a whopping 14.“We believe in winning up front. and there were frustrating times when some of the games we didn’t win last year, I think it came down to losing the battle up front,” Beane said.“I said, if nothing else this year, we’re going to fix that,” he added. “There was an effort to fix a lot of that in free agency. But we also wanted to add youth.”The Bills were so high on Ford, who will be given a chance to compete for the starting job at right tackle, they dealt their second of two fifth-round draft picks — 158th overall — to move up two spots in a trade with the Oakland Raiders to select him.Listed at 6-foot-3 and 329 pounds, Ford earned first-team Big 12 honors with 14 starts at right tackle as a junior last season. He also has experience playing guard.Ford was initially projected to be a first-round selection and was still in Nashville, Tennessee White Jordan Mills Jerseys , where the draft was held. He was watching the draft on television in his hotel room when his name was called.Though disappointed, Ford put a positive spin on having to wait an extra day.“You never know what’s going to happen,” he said. “This situation could be better than any situation in the first round.”After playing just three games before breaking his left leg in 2016, Ford returned to start 12 games at left guard in 2017. Last year, he was credited with a team-best 127 knockdowns while allowing just two sacks.“He had to overcome a ton here at OU,” Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley said in a release issued by the school. “He’s one of the nastiest offensive linemen I’ve ever coached, and I think he was probably the most dominant tackle in the country last year.”Buffalo closes the draft with four picks over the final for rounds on Saturday when the Bills are expected to address depth needs at linebacker and receiver, and special teams units.Running back wasn’t considered a major need either after the Bills signed Gore last month and T.J. Yeldon on Monday. However, Beane noted the 21-year-old Singletary adds an element of youth to a backfield with Gore set to turn 36 and McCoy 31 by the start of next season.Beane also made clear Singletary’s addition does in no way jeopardize McCoy’s status as the team’s workhorse.“LeSean McCoy is still here before you ask that question,” Beane said. “He’s still the starter.”In the 5-foot-7, 203-pound Singletary, the Bills added a dynamic, but undersized player whom Beane referred to as being “the funnest guy I’ve watched all year.”“Rare instincts for the position,” he added. “He’s a smaller guy. I wouldn’t call him a home-run hitter, but he can make guys miss in a phone booth.”At 5-7, 203 pounds, Singletary had 4 Jordan Mills Jerseys 2019 ,287 yards rushing and scored 66 touchdowns in 38 career games over three seasons. In 2017, he became the first Florida Atlantic player to earn All-American honors after he had 1,918 yards rushing and scored 32 TDs.Knox is listed at 6-4 and 254 pounds, and was limited to 39 catches for 605 yards in 18 games for Ole Miss.Beane believes Knox was under-utilized at college, and believes he has the potential to play a larger role in the receiving game. ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Hold the AARP jokes.Running back Frank Gore sees nothing funny about teaming up with LeSean McCoy in Buffalo to form the NFL’s oldest backfield. Instead, Gore sees no reason why the pair of 30-somethings can’t continue their lengthy run of dominance.“It doesn’t matter what age you are,” the 35-year-old Gore said Thursday after arriving at the Bills’ facility to sign a one-year, $2 million contract . “As long as you train and believe in your skill, anything can happen. You can get the job done. And that’s what me and ‘Shady’ are going to try to do this year.”The 30-year-old McCoy, who goes by the nickname Shady, referred to Gore’s addition as motivating. Not only are the two close friends and offseason workout partners, McCoy called Gore a role model.“There’s not a lot of guys in the league right now that can motivate me, especially at running back. But he’s the type of guy that can,” McCoy told The Associated Press in his first comments since Buffalo signed Gore.Though it was the Bills’ decision to make an offer to Gore to play for a 15th season, McCoy played a recruiting role.Once Gore was informed of the Bills’ interest, he contacted McCoy to make sure he was fine with sharing the load.“Shady’s a competitive guy. He didn’t really care White Lorenzo Alexander Jerseys ,” Gore said. “He knows what type of mindset I’ve got, how much I love the game of football. And he said he would love to play with me, and that I can help him out a whole lot.”McCoy laughed in saying Gore was actually talking about retiring when the two were together last weekend.“I said, ‘Frank, if you retire, I won’t have nobody in the NFL to chase or motivate me,'” he said. “So I said, ‘Why don’t you come play with us.’ “Gore is one of nine free agents the Bills added this past week, including return specialist Andre Roberts, who signed a two-year contract on Thursday. A majority of Buffalo’s attention was placed on upgrading a patchwork offense that finished 30th in the NFL in yards gained last season.Gore might not fill the biggest need on a team that invested heavily in signing receivers John Brown and Cole Beasley, and center Mitch Morse.For general manager Brandon Beane, what stands out about Gore is how he’s maintained his level of production and competitiveness.“You saw it today,” Beane said.“He walked down the hall with a Buffalo Bills helmet on his head. I mean, the guy’s serious,” he added. “When he talks to you, he sits on the edge of his chair. He starts dropping a few words that you might hear on the field. His intensity started ratcheting quick.”Since breaking into the NFL with San Francisco in 2005, Gore has topped 1 Lorenzo Alexander Jerseys 2019 ,000 yards rushing nine times, most recently with Indianapolis in 2016. And he’s coming off a season in which he had 722 yards rushing and 124 yards receiving and a touchdown in 14 games with Miami.Gore said he still has plenty to prove.“People feel that when you get to a certain age that you can’t. And I want to show them that it doesn’t matter,” he said.Aside from age, Gore and McCoy form what stands as the NFL’s most productive running back tandem.Gore is the NFL’s active leader with 14,748 yards rushing and fourth on the career list. McCoy, entering his 11th season, ranks third among active players with 10,606 yards rushing and ranks 25th overall.Often times, McCoy has praised Gore for his workout regimen and also as someone he aspires to one day catch on the career list.“Every time I tell myself I’ll play three more years and I’ll be done, I look at a guy like Frank, who keeps trucking along,” McCoy said. “So for myself, he’s great for me so I can monitor his game and try to get to where he’s at — the Hall of Fame.”It’s not lost on both players that McCoy is coming off the worst season of his career. He finished with a career-low 514 yards rushing with three touchdowns, and topped 100 yards rushing just once.Gore said the two will have the potential to push each other.“I know he’s very competitive. And I know he’s going to get back to where he’s been before because I’ve seen him train,” Gore said. “I know if I see him going hard, I’m going to have to try to come back and go hard as well. It’ll be a good thing.”Gore was impressed in meeting Buffalo’s new trio of hulking offensive linemen, including the 6-foot-6 White Ramon Humber Jerseys , 305-pound Morse, and 6-foot-8, 330-pound tackle Ty Nsekhe.Gore immediately got on the phone to McCoy to rave about the free-agent additions.McCoy’s mood brightened when he heard from Gore.“I’m being honest, talking to him, and him coming up and telling me the guys we got there, the linemen, I’m excited,” McCoy said. “I’m excited again, man. Ready to play some ball.”NOTES: The free-agent additions has the fan base excited. One Bills fan posted pictures of going to the airport to greet several players, including Morse, Beasley and Brown with an order of chicken wings. … Beane said free agent defensive end Ezekiel ‘Ziggy’ Ansah visited the Bills facility before leaving to meet with another team.
