ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Offensive line depth and receiver remain two of the Buffalo Bills most pressing needs with five picks spread over the final four rounds of the NFL draft.

Buffalo opens Saturday with the 21st pick in the fourth round and close with the second-to-last pick in the draft, 255th overall.

Offensive line remains a need after center Eric Wood was diagnosed with a career-ending neck injury and left guard Richie Incognito retired. Another possibility if Buffalo adding running back depth behind 29-yeard-old starter LeSean McCoy and free-agent addition Chris Ivory.

The Bills opened the draft making two splashes in trading up to select both Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen and Virginia Tech linebacker Tremaine Edmunds in the first round. Buffalo had one pick on Friday in choosing Stanford defensive tackle Harrison Phillips at 96.
