‘“This pick could depend on whether free-agent right tackle Daryl Williams returns and whether the Bills think former second-round pick Cody Ford could kick out to tackle. If they view him as a guard, tackle becomes an hole to fill. Jenkins played on both the left and right sides at Oklahoma State. I could see Buffalo targeting a cornerback if a guy the organization likes makes it to No. 30, and I think running back should be an option as well. This is a team that is close to being a Super Bowl contender.”’

Playing Bills GM: J.J. Watt, Jonnu Smith get Buffalo to Super Bowl LVI (Full offseason free agency, draft plan)
‘This move is a bit tricky as it deals with move four, but Buffalo needs to bring in a veteran option that could start in the event that Buffalo cannot find a long-term right tackle option. Daryl Williams is likely to have multiple suitors in free agency so a return to the Bills is in doubt. If they cannot get Williams back, the team needs to find a veteran they feel can contribute if called into action. Rick Wagner, a recently released tackle, drew interest from Buffalo back in 2017. Another option would be Mike Remmers, someone Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott are familiar with from their time in Carolina.’
