Consensus Mock Draft - Pick 27 Buffalo Bills

[goldfishwars]

Why not, let's give this a go with combine and the major free agency moves in the book. 

Rules:

There are two polls - your first choice will count as 2pts, your second as 1pt. If players have the same score after 24 hours, the pick will go to the player with the most first place votes. 

I will take poll options from the website below, which aggregates all media big boards - so if your guy isn't on the board, don't blame me.

Your vote can be who you would take, or who you think the team will take - it doesn't matter.

I went with Gibbs and Schmitz  based on their needs.  could flip them of course

[Trentwannabe]

Bills biggest needs are RT, MLB and WR.

Unfortunately I don’t think the board fell in their favour. A sneaky need is DT as next year Oliver, Settle, Daquan Jones and Jordan Phillips are all set to be free agents.

Bills have done extensive work on Mazi Smith. Including a top 30 visit. Bills have drafted a top 30 visit every year in round 1 in the McDermott era.  I think it continues. 
 

Went with Darnell Washington as the second option as he ads a nice wrinkle of the 6th OL but also a potential threat in the pass game with Knox. 
 

I wouldn’t be surprised to see either of these two as the pick in two weeks.

[Packerraymond]

From my time watching the Bills last season, they need to stop the run and run the ball.

Therefore Mazi Smith and Dawand Jones make the most sense to me. 

[THE DUKE]

If LB is that big a need, I think this could be where Jack Campbell sneaks into the first round.  I think he's the first off ball LB taken.  I went Mazi first here, as I think he's the better prospect, but I think Campbell is well liked by teams.

I voted Johnston and Gibbs.  Bills need more weapons as Allen can't do it all. 

[INbengalfan]

Went Harrison (assuming they project him to RT) and Johnson.

[Ragnarok]

Quentin then Hyatt.  Give Allen more weapons

[Trentwannabe]

Well this would be a disappointing result lol

[soflbillsfan]

Yea based on how the board fell the best option for the bills would to be trade back. WR MLB and RT are top 3 needs with DT, TE, and Oline would be the backup options In the event top 3 needs arent there. Even though WR  is a need it wouldn't be the pick here I dont think Johnston is the guy they would want to get, hyatt would be a better fit then him.
