Things to watch: Quick hits

  • As much as starting positions are up for grabs, so are depth positions. Boettger, Doyle and Quessenberry are names to watch.

  • Brown is the favorite to start at right tackle, but the Bills added competition for him by signing Shell.

Big question: Who starts at guard?

The guard position is a packed house and the best men will win.

McGovern was Buffalo’s noted free-agent addition, but Edwards comes to western New York with starting experience as well. Torrence, a second-round rookie, is expected to make a push at starting as well.

As the incumbent starter at right guard for the Bills, Bates will have something to say about the outcome here.

Prediction

It’s hard to predict anything along the offensive line before the pads get on. But it looks as if Torrence and McGovern will get a good look to be the opening-day starters. Torrence was a high draft pick while McGovern signed a decent $25 million deal with the Bills.
