NFL Draft Targets

The quarterback position isn’t necessarily a top priority for the front office but will need to bring in one more quarterback this offseason and a late round pick seems like the perfect spot for this.

Since they have a player as dynamic as Josh Allen, it would make sense for them to try to find a similar type player to Allen. This is what they did last year with Tyree Jackson and there is no reason they should deviate from that this year.

One player who will likely be available late in the NFL Draft who found success at the collegiate level is Kelly Bryant. The former Clemson Tiger transferred to Missouri for the 2019 season and finished the year with 2,215 passing yards, 15 touchdowns and only six interceptions. He also had 242 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown.

Bryant certainly has some concerns, specifically with his accuracy, however this was an issue with Josh Allen. The coaching staff has done a good job helping work through this and they could help Bryant in this area as well.

dark. Next. Bills that are ready to breakout in 2020

The Buffalo Bills, from the front office down to the coaching staff, has to love what Josh Allen showed in 2019 and hope he continues to develop in 2020. This improvement, plus the veteran presence of Matt Barkley, gives this team confidence at the quarterback position. The addition of a developmental prospect is all this position needs this offseason.
