Orchard Park, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills have once again been connected to Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty.

According to Joe Buscaglia of WKBW in Buffalo, Bills general manager flew down to Baylor to visit Petty on Tuesday. The Bills had already met with Petty at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Buffalo is obviously in need of a quarterback, and with pick No. 50 being their first selection in the draft, players like Petty are all that will be left. Petty, who turns 24 in May, was one of the most productive quarterbacks in college football over the last few seasons, but he has a few red flags that make him a risky option on day two. He played in a one-read offense and hasn't shown he can make plays when the first read breaks down.

Regardless, the Bills are doing their due diligence on quarterbacks, as they should. Whaley has repeatedly mentioned that his team lacks a franchise signal caller. The question is how high a pick the Bills are willing to spend in order to bring in competition for EJ Manuel, Matt Cassel and Tyrod Taylor.
