Buffalo Bills 2021 NFL Draft: All-defense seven round mock draft

Fifth Round: Shaka Toney, EDGE (Penn State)

The Buffalo Bills need help along the defensive line and specifically getting after the quarterback. One of the focuses for this team this offseason needs to be getting more pressure with just their front four and not relying on blitzes to get after the quarterback.

This is why a player like Shaka Toney would be a smart choice. He is not necessarily an every down defensive end but can be a pass rushing specialist for this team. In the past three seasons with Penn State, Toney had at least five sacks every year, including a career high 6.5 in 2019.

Fifth Round: Olaijah Griffin, CB (USC)

The second pick in the fifth round, the Buffalo Bills add more depth to their secondary with the selection of Olaijah Griffin out of USC.

The Draft Network described a player that would be an excellent fit on the outside in this defense. The biggest concern though is injuries but at this point in the NFL Draft, it is worth the gamble.

"He is a ball-hungry player who demonstrates competitiveness at the catch point. He also demonstrates good awareness in zone, easily passing off routes while showing good understanding for route combinations."

Sixth Round: Joshua Kaindoh, EDGE (Florida State)

The final pick in this all defense mock draft brings the Buffalo Bills back to the defensive line with the selection of Joshua Kaindoh. He has all the physical traits to be a good defensive end at 6’7″ and 265 pounds but hasn’t put up big sack totals at Florida State. However, he did get a pick six last year which speaks to his athleticism.

If the Buffalo Bills were to select Kaindoh they would need to be patient and let him develop. However, if it all comes together he could be a big part of this defense in the coming years.
