After months and months of speculation that the Buffalo Bills would pair former Syracuse quarterback Ryan Nassib with his college head coach Doug Marrone, they were on the clock with a chance to do just that.

Unfortunately for Nassib, the Bills decided to look another direction with the quarterback position. The Bills nabbed Florida State signal-caller EJ Manuel.

There was a lot of buzz heading in to the draft that EJ Manuel would be a top twenty selection, and that is exactly what happened. He is a big quarterback with a nice deep ball and athleticism. His versatile skill set can make him an intriguing weapon in the Bills offense.

It has to be heart-wrenching for Nassib, who thought his college coach would make him the pick. Instead, he will have to wait to hear his name called.

Here are the current draft results:

1. Kansas City Chiefs — Eric Fisher, offensive tackle, Central Michigan
2. Jacksonville Jaguars — Luke Joeckel, offensive tackle, Texas A&M
3. Miami Dolphins (via Oakland Raiders) — Dion Jordan, Outside Linebacker, Oregon
4. Philadelphia Eagles — Lane Johnson, offensive tackle, Oklahoma
5. Detroit Lions — Ezekiel Ansah, defensive end, BYU
6. Cleveland Browns — Barkevious Mingo, outside linebacker, LSU
7. Arizona Cardinals — Jonathan Cooper, guard, North Carolina
