2. Buffalo Bills

The temptation to take a quarterback will be strong for the Buffalo Bills. However, they have a number of options they’re likely to go with. Tyrod Taylor could maintain his grip on the starting job or Cardale Jones or Nathan Peterman could unseat him. It’s quite possible they could seek the best player on the board. Somebody who can help head coach Sean McDermott build the defense he wants. <p>Arden Key is widely considered the top prospect expected to be available next year. It’s typically either a quarterback or a pass rusher and Key falls into the latter category. He was almost unstoppable for most of 2016. His mixture of size, length and burst off the edge made him a headache both on running and passing plays. Once he fills out his frame with a little more muscle, he can become one of the top defensive ends in football.</p>. DE. LSU. Arden Key . 2. player. 16
