Buffalo Bills: 3 players who stood out at the Senior Bowl that the Bills should target
Creed Humphrey, Center, Oklahoma
The 22-year old from Shawnee, Okla. has spent three seasons with his home-state Oklahoma Sooners. During his time there, he has protected some of the biggest names in the collegiate game in Spencer Rattler, Jalen Hurts and Heisman Winner Kyler Murray. He started all 11 of the Sooner’s games at center, helping them capture a Cotton Bowl win over the Florida Gators.
Humphrey was nominated for a slew of awards in his final season before declaring for the NFL Draft, winning A third-team AP All-American nomination, was named Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year, was a first-team All-Big 12 pick by league’s head coaches and media and was an Academic All-Big 12 Second Team honoree.
While it is not expected that Buffalo will use a first-round selection on their offensive line due to larger holes being on the team, particularly at tight end, Humphrey can be had in the second round.
If Humphrey is there for the picking in the second round, he would be an inexpensive replacement for their current center, Mitch Morse.
Morse, who is coming off a season where he suffered another concussion, the question about him is two-fold; can he still play at a high level given his health and is he worth the cap hit.
During an offseason where the Bills will have to make some difficult decisions in hopes to retain some of their key players in Matt Milano, Jon Feliciano, John Brown and more, cutting Morse would free up a significant amount of money.
