The Buffalo Bills had one of the better franchises in the 1990s and they’re on the verge of building a dynasty again. They get closer thanks to this 7-round mock 2020 NFL Mock Draft

At 9-4, the Buffalo Bills are still within striking distance in the AFC East as they’re just a game behind the New England Patriots — and they have a rematch with them just around the corner.

As impressive as they have been this season, there were some flaws that got exposed on Sunday as they lost 24-17 to the No. 1 seed in the AFC, the Baltimore Ravens.

While Buffalo’s defense did all they could in this one, the offense proved they need to fix some of their holes. Quarterback Josh Allen was under duress all game and they needed someone to step up as a receiver — which never happened.

The good news is, this team is close. They have playmakers on both sides of the ball but just need to round out their roster. Clearly they need a new wide receiver for Allen to pair with and they could stand to add another edge rusher as well.

If they can shore up a few of the areas of concern, there’s no reason to think this team couldn’t start to find some success for the first time since the Bills near-dynasty of the 1990s.

Aiming that high might seem crazy, but there’s no reason they can’t start to think big — especially considering the defense they feature now which is one of the best in the NFL.

Here is a 7-round mock draft where we look to plug their few holes in an attempt to build a new dynasty in Buffalo.
