Buffalo Bills 2017 Mock Draft: Going On The Offensive

16. There is a strong possibility that Buffalo might lose Zach Brown elsewhere to free agency. Given the shaky health status of Reggie Ragland, it would be wise for the team to find more help at inside linebacker. Though he’s short and comes from a smaller school, the tape doesn’t lie about Connor Harris. He runs, he hits and he shows an ability to anticipate that comes from good instinct and hours of tape study. An overachiever who finds his way onto the field.. ILB. Lindenwood. Connor Harris . 4. player

With Sean McDermott in charge there’s a strong likelihood that Buffalo could be switching to a 4-3 system on defense. That will require an investment in the defensive line. With age becoming a concern at defensive tackle, adding some young depth can’t hurt. Tanzel Smart will be peppered with questions about his size, but he knows how to create pressure up the middle, making him a great option for the three-technique position in that scheme.. DT. Tulane. Tanzel Smart . 5. player. 16

The Bills can’t afford to fool themselves about Tyrod Taylor. He’s an effective quarterback, but much of why that is centers around their ability to run the football. When they establish the ground game, his versatility worsts at peak efficiency. So investing in the running back position is wise. Jamaal Williams has enough talent to go higher but he’s an unpolished runner with questions surrounding his commitment to football. Getting him here could be a steal, or just a calculated gamble.. RB. BYU. Jamaal Williams . 6. player. 16
