Lee acknowledged that there were ''fundamental flaws'' in Fitzpatrick's footwork, and that some of his missed throws were the result of bad mechanics. "If you can tell a pro why they're struggling, you've got them," Lee said. ''What you hope happens is he gets enough reps where his footwork becomes subconscious and becomes muscle memory. That way when he's under duress it's just muscle memory and he just does it.''

"We want to be ready for camp and maybe even a couple of weeks into camp," said Troup. "We don't want to rush anything and come back too soon." Troup has encountered no setbacks thus far and hopes to increase his running during OTAs next week. He'll play a reserve role in 2012.

Per NFP reporter Dan Pompei, Merriman "looks like he will" help the Bills this season, assuming he continues to stay healthy. Merriman would compete with Mark Anderson for playing time at right end, across from LE Mario Williams. Merriman has managed just one sack since the end of the 2009 NFL season.

"So hopefully I'll be 100 percent and be able to go out there and compete for a job," said McGee. "It's never been this long for me. I had surgery in November so it's going to be June and I still don't feel ready. I've never been through something like this." There's a good chance McGee will have to start the season in subpackages.

Glenn was viewed by many as an NFL guard prior to the draft, but Bills GM Buddy Nix is "convinced" he will succeed at left tackle. Long and athletic, Glenn started 32 games at guard and 18 at left tackle for Georgia. With the loss of Demetress Bell, Glenn will have every opportunity to protect Ryan Fitzpatrick's blindside as a rookie.

Moorman will be the heavy favorite, but the Bills are serious about giving Powell a shot after he led the nation with a 47.0 average and finished second with a 41.2 net at Florida State last season.

He's the second top-ten pick to sign, joining Panthers WLB Luke Kuechly. Gilmore turned heads with one of the most impressive rookie camps across the league, and the Bills envision him as a matchup problem for Aaron Hernandez and perhaps even Rob Gronkowski in the AFC East. Gilmore will be a Week 1 starter at RCB. Aaron Williams and Terrence McGee are competing on the left.
