AFC Notes: Draft Buzz, James Cook, Bills, Dolphins, Jets, Patriots

Bills GM Brandon Beane said RB James Cook is not at team facilities for voluntary workouts, but isn’t concerned: “Can’t tell you when he’s definitely coming or not… I mean, it’s voluntary.” (Joe Buscaglia)
Beane said Cook never informed him he’s missing workouts because of his contract status: “He hasn’t told me that. Doesn’t mean he won’t be here next week or the week after. He’ll be ready to go.” (Sal Capaccio)
Buffalo re-signed CB Tre’Davious White to a one-year extension in recent weeks. Beane said they remain confident in White’s ability: “He brings great experience… We have a lot of confidence in Tre, but no promises were made… We’re pulling for him, and would love nothing more if we wins the starting job.” (Fitzgerald)

ESPN’s Dan Graziano and Jeremy Fowler write the Dolphins have been linked by other teams as having interest in a defensive back in the first round, potentially Texas CB Jahdae Barron or Georgia S Malaki Starks.

The Athletic’s Dianna Russini expects the Jets to have significant interest in Penn State TE Tyler Warren with the No. 7 pick.
ESPN’s Peter Schrager has also heard steady connections between Warren and the Jets for weeks. FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz writes the Jets are among several teams that love Warren.
The Jets are among the teams showing interest in Ohio State QB Will Howard, per ESPN’s Dan Graziano and Jeremy Fowler.

ESPN’s Dan Graziano and Jeremy Fowler write that the leaguewide expectation is that the Patriots will take LSU OL Will Campbell with the No. 4 pick.
FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz has also heard the Patriots are locked in on Campbell. He met with owner Robert Kraft during the pre-draft process. A former GM told Schultz: “Three-year starter. Just a vintage Mike Vrabel player.”
