    Rookie LB Nic Harris is among four draft picks the Bills liked for their versatility. He played safety at Oklahoma but is projected as an outside linebacker by the Bills and he says he is comfortable with the switch. "I'm comfortable with being on the field," he said. Harris, who is 6-2, 234, played what he called an "inverted" safety position in college, coming up on the play to cover a variety of receivers and help against the run but playing linebacker will require him to learn angles, setting his feet and fending off blocks. "That's pretty much what I didn't have to deal with playing safety, you're pretty much playing in space," he said. "I just have to make sure I get stronger and get in the weight room and understand my schemes."
