Round 6, 188th overall: Tanner Muse, S (Clemson)

There is a very good chance that every mock draft I have done has included Tanner Muse in it and the reason is this feels like a perfect fit for player and organization.

Muse was the starting safety for the Clemson Tigers but will likely need to transition to a different position at the NFL level. This will give Sean McDermott and Leslie Fraizer an opportunity to get creative with Muse and really be a boost for this defense.

The Bills could use him as a buffalo nickel, which is essentially a bigger player who lines up in the nickel spot. The Bills last season tried to use Siran Neal in this role and a player like Muse would be an upgrade here.

This also would give Muse a chance to begin shifting to playing closer to the line of scrimmage and eventually make a permanent position switch to outside linebacker, where I believe he fits best at the NFL level.
