ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills elected not to trade back in the NFL draft order for a third time, and addressed their most significant need by selecting Florida State receiver Keon Coleman to open the second round. The 20-year-old Coleman brings size and adept catching ability to a Josh Allen-led offense that traded Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans earlier this month and lost fourth-year player Gabe Davis to free agency. The Bills addressed another need at safety by selecting Utah’s Cole Bishop 60th overall. Buffalo closed the day selecting fifth-year Duke defensive tackle DeWayne Carter at No. 95, leaving the team holding seven picks on Saturday.
