2022 NFL Mock Draft: Buffalo Bills focus on fixing the run game
In this seven-round mock draft, the Buffalo Bills focus on trying to fix one of their key weaknesses from the 2021 season
The 2021 NFL season still has four games left in the regular season but there are already some clear needs that the Buffalo Bills have to address this offseason. There isn’t any more glaring than the run game on offense.
General manager Brandon Beane has tried to build a quality rushing attack and in 2019 and 2020 used third-round picks on Devin Singletary and Zack Moss. However, neither running back has emerged as a featured running back or one that has been able to produce on a consistent basis.
This season, the only times the Buffalo Bills have been able to get consistent production from the ground game has been when Josh Allen has been able to make plays with his legs. While it worked at times, this is not a long-term solution for this offense and the focus in this mock draft will be addressing the run game.
At this point in the season, the Bills have eight draft picks in the 2022 NFL Draft with their original selections in all seven rounds, along with a seventh-round pick from the Atlanta Falcons in the Lee Smith trade.
With the help of The Mock Draft Machine on The Draft Network, this is a full seven-round mock draft for the Buffalo Bills in 2022.
