In the latest 2021 NFL mock draft, the Buffalo Bills find an offensive playmaker but focus primarily on improving the defense.

Entering this season, the question lied more on the offensive side of the ball than the defensive side for the Buffalo Bills. It certainly made sense since a majority of the starters were returning from a group that was one of the best defenses in the previous season.

However, it has been the offense that has been leading the way as the Bills improved to 6-2 after a 24-21 victory over the New England Patriots. Meanwhile, the defense has been struggling and the focus for general manager Brandon Beane and this front office should be to add more talent at every level of this defense.

The Bills still have talent on this side and the team should be looking for young players that can push the starters, even as rookies, but eventually grow into starting roles on this team. The good news is with this mock draft recently run through the Mock Draft Machine at The Draft Network, the Buffalo Bills do just that.

The Bills currently have six picks at this moment for the 2021 NFL Draft after trading away their fourth round pick in the Stefon Diggs trade and adding a fifth from the Zay Jones trade last year.

With the help of the Mock Draft Machine on The Draft Network, I put together a full mock draft for the Buffalo Bills at the midpoint of the 2020 season.
