6 Players the Buffalo Bills Should Consider in First Round
By Ryan Brennan
If the Buffalo Bills use their first round draft pick on a cornerback or offensive tackle, who could their options be?
I will be very surprised if the Buffalo Bills don’t draft one of these guys above if given the chance, but I will be equally as surprised if none of them are even available for us. Either way, you have to be prepared for anything in this league.
With that being said, I think there are two players to look at. The first would be Cam Robinson out of Alabama, the top offensive tackle in the draft. The second is Jalen “Teez” Tabor out of Florida, one of the top cornerbacks in the draft.
Jordan Mills is set to be a free agent this offseason and from what he has shown in Buffalo, they are better off letting him walk. Mills is easily the weakest link on the Bills’ offensive line and they will need to upgrade the position.
OT. Cam Robinson is the top offensive tackle in this class and comes in at 6’5” and 327 pounds. He’s very versatile and could play guard as well, but mostly played left tackle. He will most likely make a switch to right tackle in the NFL, which is exactly what Buffalo needs. He’s good with his run-block, but his quickness and length make him tough to get around in search of the QB. If you ask me, that’s exactly what Buffalo needs in their right tackle. If available, he will surely be a consideration for the Buffalo Bills.. OT. Alabama Crimson Tide. CAM ROBINSON
It’s also important to note that there are 9 other offensive tackles projected to go in the first three rounds, so the Buffalo Bills could always solve this problem later in the draft.
There’s also a question surrounding Stephon Gilmore and whether or not the Buffalo Bills will re-sign him this offseason. If they let him walk, they will have a big hole to fill at the cornerback position. Ronald Darby could handle the best receivers, but they don’t have much depth behind him. Buffalo will get a good look at Kevon Seymour on Sunday, so keep your eyes out for that.
If they do let Gilmore walk, they can surely look in the draft as well. One player that stands out is Teez Tabor, who should be available near the middle of the first round.
CB. Jalen “Teez” Tabor would be a great fit for the Buffalo Bills and would easily provide relief if they let Gilmore walk. That would save the Bills a good amount of money, which could be spent on other talent. However, I think the Bills are better off going a different route and grabbing a cornerback later in the draft. There are 12 cornerbacks projected to go in rounds 2-4 and plenty of talent. Plus, the Bills have drafted a cornerback in four of the past five drafts and they have been good picks. Tabor with his good size, fluid motions and good ball skills would be a good fit, but I think there’s better options to go with for their first round pick.. CB. Florida Gators. TEEZ TABOR
With all of that being said, I think the two guys Buffalo should be hoping for are Jamal Adams (safety) or Corey Davis (wide receiver). If those two aren’t available, then Mike Williams (wide receiver) and Cam Robinson (offensive tackle) should be next in line.
