The Facts: The Bills took a close look at Troupe on Tuesday to see if he might be the answer to their problems at tight end.
Diehards Line:Troupe is a talented athlete who has the physical tools to be a stretch-the- field, dangerous weapon in the pass offense. The problem is he has looked like that kind of player in only one of his four NFL seasons. ... According to News staffer Mark Gaughan, if the Bills decide Troupe is ready to be a consistent performer and sign him to a contract, they probably will not have to look to a tight end in the first couple rounds of the NFL draft. If they pass on Troupe, then the draft -- somewhere in the first three rounds -- looks like the way to go to try to find the long-term solution at the position.
