(AP) — starting with Florida linebacker Vosean Joseph in the fifth round.The Bills were relegated to filling depth needs Saturday, a day after trading their two fourth-round selections to move up and select Mississippi tight end Dawson Knox in the third round. Buffalo also traded a fifth-round pick to move up two spots and select Oklahoma offensive tackle Cody Ford at No. 38.Joseph was selected 147th overall, and ranked ninth among SEC players with 93 tackles as a junior last year.Buffalo’s next two picks were also defensive players. The Bills selected Miami safety Jaquan Johnson in the sixth round and then used their first of two seventh-round picks to choose North Carolina A&T defensive end Darryl Johnson.Darryl Johnson is listed at 6-foot-6 and 253 pounds. He led the MEAC with 10½ sacks and was the conference’s defensive player of the year last season.Buffalo closed the draft by selecting Boston College tight end Tommy Sweeney with the 225th overall pick. Sweeney had 99 catches for 1,281 yards and 10 touchdowns in 38 games.General manager Brandon Beane announced he’s already reached an agreement to sign University at Buffalo quarterback Tyree Jackson , an undrafted free agent. The 6-foot-7 Jackson was not among the 11 quarterbacks selected in the draft.Jackson left school following his junior season in which he was the Mid-American Conference offensive player of the year and helped Buffalo (10-4) set a single-season record for victories and its fourth bowl selection.Beane said the Bills are also considering signing undrafted Buffalo cornerback Cam Lewis. ASHBURN, Va. (AP)DeAngelo Hall was just waiting for the call, and the Washington Redskins really need him at the moment. The Redskins activated the veteran defensive back off the physically unable to perform list late Friday night Chuma Edoga Jersey , and he could make his season debut Sunday at the Seattle Seahawks. Hall hasn’t played since Week 3 of the 2016 season after tearing the ACL in his right knee, but Washington is glad he’s healthy after having just three safeties on the roster. ”I’m ready,” Hall said earlier this week. ”I feel good.” The Redskins waived offensive tackle Orlando Franklin to make room on the 53-man roster. The decision came so late because they were waiting to see which of their many injured offensive lineman would be able to play. Hall felt ”in limbo” like everyone else but said he was ”running around, jumping, doing back flips.” The 33-year-old was concerned about coming back from an Achilles tendon injury suffered two years ago but not this one. ”I don’t think I ever felt like (I was worried) if I was going to play again,” Hall said. ”I was talking to (former Redskins GM) Bobby Beathard and he was telling me how he had an ACL (injury) in the `70s and I’m like, `Yeah that’s a lot different than now.’ Now you actually probably come back even stronger than you did before.” Good thing for the Redskins, too. They put safety Stefan McClure on injured reserve with a hamstring injury http://www.newyorkjetsteamonline.com/trevon-wesco-jersey , and rookie safety Montae Nicholson is questionable with a shoulder injury. Hall considers his body fresh but said ”mentally you’re a little behind.” Of course, he’s not worried about it. ”It’s part of being a 14-year vet,” Hall said. ”It’s like riding a bike. Obviously some things are going to be a little rusty, but for the most part it’s still football. … I’ve played enough football to where I can kind of get back on the bike and get going. I might stumble a little bit here and there, but I can get up and go full-speed without a doubt.” Hall got the nod over undrafted rookie Fish Smithson, who is on the practice squad. His ability to plug and play doesn’t hurt. While he was out, the converted quarterback served as something like an unofficial assistant secondary coach under Torrian Gray. ”He has a lot of knowledge,” second-year cornerback Kendall Fuller said. ”He knows a lot of us are young Alexander Mattison Jersey , so just kind of give us as much advice as possible.” That allowed Hall to stay involved, which he said has been evolving so much since training camp that he has to get back up to speed with the changes. ”It’s just about getting on the same page,” Hall said. ”Hopefully when I get out there, there’s no drop-off because we’ve been communicating.” —
