The current week is already off to an active start for the Buffalo Bills, with news of Buddy Nix’s resignation coming Monday from One Bills Drive.

The past week has been an active one here at Buffalo Bills Draft, in a week that also included E.J. Manuel and the Bills’ other rookies taking the field at mini camp. Let’s take a look at the biggest stories regarding the Bills and NFL draft from BBD, around the NFL Draft Sites Network and around the web.

Why Robert Woods Should Be The 2013 NFL Draft’s Best Wide Receiver

The Buffalo Bills initially held the No. 8 overall selection in the 2013 NFL Draft, which was used to select a wide receiver.

That pick was made by the St. Louis Rams, who traded up eight spots with the Bills to select dynamic West Virginia playmaker Tavon Austin.

The Bills could have used that selection on a much-needed wide receiver, but instead waited until the second round. This was a smart move, as a player who will quite possibly be the 2013 draft class’ best wide receiver fell to their spot at the No. 41 overall selection.

USC’s Robert Woods was passed upon for the draft’s 40 picks, which included four wide receiver selections (Austin, Clemson’s DeAndre Hopkins, Tennessee’s Cordarrelle Patterson and Justin Hunter).

Buffalo Bills: How Will Rookie Additions Fit Doug Marrone’s Passing Offense?

Saturday, May 4th, 2013

BBD Editor: Dan Hope

One of numerous reasons the Buffalo Bills only went 6-10 last season was their lack of a consistent and explosive passing offense. They ranked 25th in the NFL in passing yards, 24th in passing yards per attempt, and was one of 11 teams to grade out negatively in passing offense last year by Pro Football Focus (subscription required).

Fortunately for the Bills, their passing offense is going to have a completely different look next season.

That all starts at the quarterback position, where the Bills are replacing Ryan Fitzpatrick, who they released after four underwhelming, interception-laden seasons as their starter. While it is yet unknown who will be starting under center in Week 1, 2013 first-round pick E.J. Manuel will be expected to take over the job sooner rather than later.

Buffalo Bills: Pick-by-Pick 2013 NFL Draft Review

The Buffalo Bills made eight selections in total in the 2013 NFL Draft, adding four weapons for their passing offense, two safeties, an inside linebacker and a placekicker.

As the Bills now set their sights on earning their winning season since 2004 and first postseason berth since 1999, the performance of their rookie crop will be key.

While they may not necessarily have significant contributions in year one from each player, including first-round quarterback E.J. Manuel, they need some of their players to progress quickly and make plays on the field in Buffalo this season for the Bills to make a step forward toward contentio.

Let’s take a look at each of the Bills’ selection, and assess how well the team did in addressing their needs and obtaining value.

The preseason #1 ranked USC Trojans (7-5) will try to stop the spread-option offense of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (6-7) in the Hyandai Sun Bowl. There will be no shortage of NFL talent on the field for USC, but the guy everyone wants to see, Matt Barkley, will miss the game with an injured shoulder. Georgia Tech doesn’t have the same talent, but they hope to avoid falling to 6-8 on the season. (more…)
