Offensive Tackle

Next on this list is offensive tackle as the Buffalo Bills have signed their two starting tackles, Dion Dawkins and Daryl Williams, to multi-year deal in consecutive offseasons.

Last year, the Bills agreed to a four-year deal with Dawkins and after an excellent 2020 season the Bills were able to bring back Daryl Williams on a three-year deal. The fact that they have both players locked in long-term, it doesn’t make sense to use a top pick on this position.

However, unlike quarterback, the depth has some potential question that makes this position they could address in the later rounds. They still have Cody Ford, who was a starter at right tackle in 2019 and did sign veteran Bobby Hart as potential options to step in if the need were to arise.

This was one of those moves in free agency that the Buffalo Bills have a fallback option but could use an upgrade if it presents itself in later rounds.
