Can Alex Smith be Bills' bridge quarterback who can win in 2018?

The Buffalo Bills are widely expected to be in the market for a quarterback in April's draft, possibly as high as the first round. With extra first- and second-round picks -- and eight picks in the first five rounds -- the Bills have chips to move up the board and jostle for one of the top quarterbacks in the class.

However, the draft offers few guarantees. The later in the draft the Bills select a quarterback -- if they do at all -- the greater the need they will have for a "bridge" quarterback who can hold down the starting job until a young quarterback is ready.
