4. Offensive Line

Draft Picks Total Value: 821

Draft Picks: Dion Dawkins (2017), Wyatt Teller (2018), Cody Ford (2019)

Next on this list is the offensive line and the Buffalo Bills have selected a player on the line every year except this past NFL Draft. At the top of the list is Dion Dawkins, who was selected 63rd overall and became the team’s starting left tackle midway through his rookie season.

He would stay in that role and is locked in as the starting left tackle for the next few seasons after signing a contract extension last offseason.

The Bills once again went back to the offensive line in 2018 and selected guard Wyatt Teller. This is one that the organization may regret, not because they drafted him, but because they traded him before his second season in the league. He has developed into an excellent starting guard for the Cleveland Browns over the past two seasons.

As for Cody Ford, he started his NFL career at right tackle after the Buffalo Bills drafted him in the second round. This past season the team moved him inside to guard but his season was cut short due to injury. He should enter camp considered to be the favorite to win the starting guard job opposite Jon Feliciano.
