Bills content to sit out 1st round with addition of Diggs

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Brandon Beane is OK with sitting out the first round of the NFL draft. “That’s our first-round pick.” Beane referred to the bold move he made to address Buffalo’s most pressing offseason need by giving up four draft picks — including the 22nd overall — to acquire Diggs from the Minnesota Vikings on March 12. Adding Diggs is a sign of Beane going all-in on a team he believes is a contender following Buffalo’s first 10-win season in 20 years, and second playoff berth in three years. Beane’s choices could vary from Florida pass rusher Jabari Zuniga, Texas Tech linebacker Jordyn Brooks or doubling up on Diggs, who’s younger brother Trevon played cornerback at Alabama. It should make our other guys super happy, too, just because the attention is going to have to be elsewhere.” Allen’s completion percentage of 58.8 last year jumped six points from his rookie season, but he still finished 32nd among NFL starters.
