It’s no secret that the Bills desperately need more help within the interior of their offensive line. They brought in Richie Incognito this offseason to help but both guard spots are weak. With the acquisition of Tomlinson, they’d be set at the position for the 2015 season and they can continue working on progressing Cyril Richardson, a guard they drafted in the 5th round last season. In a perfect world, they’d like Tomlinson and Richardson taking over in 2016.
Buffalo doesn’t have a pick until the 2nd round (#50) so they’ll be hoping Tomlinson falls that far, although unlikely. If he doesn’t, the next guy on their wish-list fits equally as big of a need.
