Top: The Buffalo Bills had two selections at their disposal on the second day of the NFL Draft, and on Friday, they used them to address needs on both sides of the ball. In the 2nd round, the Bills chose 6'5", 346-pound O'Cyrus Torrence (left) out of Florida to bolster their offensive line. Then seeking to fill a void left by the departure of Tremaine Edmunds, Buffalo chose linebacker Dorian Williams (right) in the 3rd round. The Bills have only two draft picks on the third and final day of the draft. Photos by USA Today
