Buddy Nix on the left tackle need ... and then on the thought of moving guard Andy Levitre to tackle: "We think we have a good left tackle (Demetrius Bell). He is injured right now and is coming along good. I guess the point I am trying to make is if we can’t get the guy that we need, then we are going to try to develop what we have or there is still a chance that we can fill some needs after the draft in free agency. We are going to be looking, and we work at it every day, to make sure we can get a guy that fits and will make us better. Do not get us pinned down and don’t get yourself pinned down thinking mentally it has to be this position or this position because it may not be. ... If you move a guy like Andy you weaken two positions and that’s not our thought. We’re pretty good down the middle and we think he’s a better guard. He can play tackle. We saw him do that and do that in college, but we think he’s a better fit where he is and we’d like to keep it that way."

Tom Modrak: "Anthony Davis continues to show improvement but he is a young guy and he is a talented athlete. With that, as a young guy, there are a few more peaks and valleys. However you can see really top talent at the left tackle from a movement standpoint, all the things you talk about in seeing the athletic left tackle."

Modrak on whether Georgia Tech DE Derrick Morgan could play in a 3-4 defense: "Yes definitely. He can be an outside back and he is athletic enough to do that. He still has a chance to be a five technique but size is a little bit against him, but he may grow into that. He is a good football player and he will find a way to play and he can play in a 3-4."

Modrak on TCU pass rusher Jerry Hughes: "He’s a dynamite player. They do a great job at TCU first, that whole organization they fly to the ball but he’s leading the pack. He’s a tenanted athlete. He plays on the outside but he could be a guy that switched to the inside. He has that kind of capability because of athletic ability and instincts. He plays the game hard, is good with his hands and just overall a real good football player."

Nix on the Bills' WR position: "We’ve got six guys on our roster. Some of them we don’t know a lot about. Steve Johnson hasn’t played much. James Hardy has been hampered. We’d like to find out about those guys. We’ll carry 10 to camp and we may pick up one or two in the draft. Everybody talks about it not being a good draft for receivers. There are some good receivers and there’ll be some throughout the draft, so we’ll fill the next four through the draft and free agency."
