Bills Needs from https://sports.yahoo.com/2018-nfl-team-needs-041500466--spt.html

Defensive Front Seven: I cheated here to include two position groups, both massively deficient. Up front, Marcell Dareus is long gone and 35-year-old stalwart DT Kyle Williams is a free agent. 2016 first-round DE Shaq Lawson has shown minimal promise as a pass rusher; the 2017 Bills finished 30th in sacks (27). MLB Preston Brown, SLB Ramon Humber, and WLB Matt Milano were the Bills’ main three 2017 linebackers, and the first two are free agents. This front seven is headed for an overhaul. 

Wide Receiver: Despite a rare playoff berth, the Bills are one of the neediest teams in the league. Arguably 2017’s biggest overachiever, Buffalo won 6-of-9 games by one score and finished 4-6 after a surprise 5-2 start. The Bills could also use a young back to groom behind 30-year-old workhorse LeSean McCoy, competition for C Ryan Groy, RG Vlad Ducasse, and RT Jordan Mills, and potentially two new cornerback starters with RCB E.J. Gaines and slot CB Leonard Johnson unsigned. Adding wideout talent must remain a priority despite Buffalo’s 2017 acquisitions of separation-lacking Kelvin Benjamin and historically inefficient rookie Zay Jones. Jordan Matthews and Deonte Thompson are free agents.

[brownie man]

I went Courtland Sutton then Arden Key

get Lamar a big talented receiver or the best pass rusher on the board 

[Trentwannabe]

I went with Hernandez and then Daniels. 

Bills could use an upgrade at C or G.  

[Kmart128]

Went with Landry. DL is such a huge need. 

[BillsGuy82]

Have to address the DL. Sam Hubbard and Harrison Phillips 

[Nick]

Billy Price

Harrison Phillips

Can't go wrong with either position, both are a need/upgrade.

[JaguarCrazy2832]

Plenty of options at pass-rush and WR. Could go almost anywhere

[Suffering_Bills]

IF..... Jackson is still on the board when we pick at #21, which I'm starting to DOUBT, that'd be nice, but since I'm thinking he won't be, I'd do this: With our interior O-line needing an influx of young talent, and with Shady aging, I'd set up the power run game with Hernandez, the OG, and Guice, the RB. Hernandez should be an immediate starter/upgrade at right guard. He's a bull. Guice would spell Shady right away, start if/WHEN he gets hurt (Almost inevitable), and of course, eventually be our long-term starter. Two SOLID prospects, to keep the run game strong, now, and in years to come.
