    Although every analyst, blogger and fan has tried to place a player with a team, all we really have is educated (and some uneducated) guesses.

Instead, I’ve decided to list the scenarios I see playing out for the folks at One Bills Drive as the night grows older.

Throughout the week, Buddy Nix has acknowledged the need for a starting tackle, but has not dropped many hints on where the Bills think they can pick him. One thing is for sure: there is absolutely no scenario in which the Bills exit the draft without taking at least one tackle.
