2019 NFL Draft: Full two-round mock for each team across the league
By Peter Panacy
9. player. 16. . Offensive Tackle. Ole Miss. Greg Little
The Buffalo Bills don’t have too many defensive needs, meaning they can get a little picky when it comes to finding some of the better offensive players in this NFL Draft.
Whatever the Bills elect to do with their first pick should focus on helping out quarterback Josh Allen, who lacks both protection up front and go-to playmakers at his disposal. Wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin has been a disappointment, and fellow wideout Zay Jones has been little more than OK at best.
Yet Buffalo’s biggest need would be to protect Allen. Per Football Outsiders, the Bills offensive line ranks 28th in pass protection and has allowed 34 sacks on the year, which is tied for fourth most.
This unit hasn’t been great in run blocking either, and a strong ground game would do wonders to help out Allen too.
Jonah Williams slipping to No. 9 would be great. Since he doesn’t in this mock, the Bills’ next best option would be to grab Ole Miss offensive tackle Greg Little, whom Mel Kiper ranks the second best lineman in this year’s draft.
