Buffalo Bills

Key draft needs: CB, WR, QB

Record: 7-7

Cornerback – Hypothetically, the Bills could survive with the cornerback group they have now. They shouldn’t though. Stephon Gilmore is not deserving of his $11 million dollar contract, and has been subpar. Any team would love to have the lock-down services of Ronald Darby, but just like Sammy Watkins, has been a little hobbled this year. The Bills really need to invest into another corner though.

Wide Receiver – It’s been a very informative season for the Bills, as they have been very shaky on offense. The receiver position took a hit in the beginning of the season when Sammy Watkins was injured, and will become a bigger problem when the season ends. Robert Woods, Marquise Goodwin, Justin Hunter, and Brandon Tate are upcoming free agents. That’s a HUGE hit to your roster, and they can’t really afford the most important one. Robert Woods can be replaced, but someone is bound to overpay for his services.

Quarterback – Don’t fret, I still believe in Tyrod Taylor. I know that the Bills drafted Cardale Jones, but the Bills never were able to try him out. The quarterback class is decent. If, a big if, the Bills want to go in a different direction, this could be the class you could make the switch. Tyrod Taylor doesn’t put up great big numbers.
