Ok, so I’m a big fan of going CB in RD1 but for the sake of being a contrarian I decided to do a draft with the mindset that Buffalo addresses CB in FA.  I made a few trades, I went down and up a few spots RDs 2-4.
 

25.
Tyler Linderbaum
OC Iowa
BUF

• Buffalo adds a star IOL with their first pick. Many folks have Linderbaum going in the teens, but he was somehow available at 25. Ultimately he would be a great replacement for Mitch Morse if he decides to retire and although I like Morse and I would keep him in Buffalo for as long as he is willing to stay, Linderbaum gives us depth at center and also he is a fantastic pulling guard while also being strong at the point of attack.

 

60.
Wan'Dale Robinson
WR Kentucky
trade icon
BUF

• Wan’Dale Robinson will be a star slot WR at the next level. He is a mix between Cole Beasley and Tyreek Hill. This would greatly round out our WR room and would provide us with something that we don’t really have.
 

89.
Zachary Carter
DT Florida
BUF

• Buffalo adds a starting quality DT. Although he is listed at 6’4 285, I think that he can easily add another 15-20lbs. He is more of a disrupter than he is a run stuffer, but he definitely has the chance to be a very good starter potentially.
 

97.
Channing Tindall
LB Georgia
trade icon

• Buffalo adds an aggressive LB in the mold of London Fletcher. I think he is of great value here and at the very least we can clear some cap room by trading Edmunds or releasing Klein or Matakevich. He definitely has starter potential and gives us some hope for the LB position long term.

BUF

168.
Jake Camarda
P Georgia

• Why not take the best punter in the draft? It’s clear that Matt can’t “Haack” it.

BUF

184.
Marcus Jones
CB Houston

• Obviously CB is a weak unit for this Bills team, but this draft was done under the impression that Buffalo adds a corner or two in FA.

BUF

202.
Jaylen Watson
CB Washington State

• Same as above. Depth signings and STs players at this point. Another Levi Wallace type of player would be awesome.

If Linderbaum is there at #25 would love pick. Don’t think he makes it to the Bills could see the Cardinals and Cowboys both picking him if he even drops that far.

Chad Reuter's three round mock on NFL.com gives the Bills

 

Round 1 - Andrew Booth, Corner, Clemson

Round 2 - Cam Thomas, Edge, San Diego State

Round 3 - Phidarian Mathis, Defensive Tackle, Alabama

 

While this is all defense and I do think the Bills need offensive linemen and wide receiver help, Booth is my dream scenario at #25, Thomas is a guy I have higher than a lot of other people (and he is perfect for our scheme) and Mathis was a beast at the Senior Bowl. 

 

In terms of offensive guys it would mean the Bills passing on if Reuter's mock played out...

 

Round 1:

 

Receiver: Chris Olave (who I like in round 1) is available as are George Pickens and Jahan Dotson (who I like less as round 1 guys);

 

Offensive Line: Both Kenyon Green and Zion Johnson (the top two guard prospects) are there but all the tackles worth consideration are off the board. 

 

In any event Booth would be my guy in this scenario. He would be sticking out on my board. I have him as a top 5 player in the class. 

 

Round 2: 

 

Receiver: Reuter leaves David Bell, Calvin Austin and John Metchie on the board to take Thomas. 

 

Offensive Line: Bernhard Raimann (Central Michigan) goes a few picks later to Kansas City and Daniel Faalele (Minnesota) and Nick Petit-Frere (Ohio State) both go inplausibly late in the 3rd based on where the early consensus seems to be. I still need to sort through where I am on some of these second tier tackles. 

 

My conclusion to be honest is that if the board fell as Reuter has it I would probably make the same pick he does (I know four edge in the top 2 rounds in the last 3 drafts, I get it) I just think he would be the BPA by my board my a distance. 

 

Round 3:

 

Wide Receiver: Christian Watson (North Dakota State) goes two picks later to Green Bay and Wan'Dale Robinson goes later still to the Kansas City Chiefs. Jalen Thomas (South Alabama) and Alec Pierce (Cincinnati) are still there too. 

 

Offensive Line: Reuter does have a run on OL in his mock so this is starting to thin out but Dylan Parham (Memphis) is a potential developmental center and Jaxson Kirkland (Washington) is still there at tackle. 

 

This is the round where I would probably diverge from Reuter if the rest of the draft fell as he has it. I'd go receiver at this spot. I liked Watson at the Senior Bowl and think he has the potential to be a solid #2 in the NFL. But I would probably veer toward Robinson who is a bit of a boom or bust gimmick player but he has that speed that the Bills O lacks... and in addition I do not want Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes getting their hands on him!

[Ayjent]

I think they have to look at shoring up the Interior OL despite the improvement at the end of the year.  They need to move on from a lot of the pieces they had.  I think Kromer makes a big difference, but they need to keep the pipeline of talent in front of Josh.  That is the priority and where this team struggled during the season to find any consistency and it impacted the entire team.

 

I know people are pretty polarized on Edmunds.  He's a fine player, but not what we all hoped he'd be.  I doubt this will happen but I almost think that Defense would be better served to move him outside and play with 3 true LBs more frequently and find an option that provides a bit more playmaking ability at the MLB position.  I know Ray Lewis, Urlacher and Singletary aren't just waiting to be drafted, but the Defense Frazier runs is most successful when you have playmakers at every level up the spine of the Defense (DT, MLB and Strong Safety).  Standing pat with Milano and Edmunds at LB seems like wishful thinking to improve the Defense.  Milano is undersized against the run and Edmunds frequently gets lost in traffic.  I think this position is far more important than people think to this defense and is the difference between it being good and great.  I just don't think Edmunds is ever going to find the consistency and I don't think he'll be worth his market value come time to pay up.

I want Faalele some how some way. Give me also a WR like WanDale Robinson. I want another CB too, but we need to focus on the offense this year. 

Why are you interested in another OT?  I think Spencer Brown will be fine opposite Dion Dawkins.

Because there is limited depth behind them. What happens if Brown has a sophomore slump? What happens if Dion struggles again as he did early this year? I am willing to give him the benefit of the covid doubt but I want to have a plan in place for either of those two things occurring. 

 

EDIT: And also because I am open to any way of improving the line. Even if that means moving Dawkins inside (either now or in time).

I don't think Titans need another DT... they are just fine with Simmons
