Buffalo Bills Mock Draft: Round 1, Pick 29 – Olusegun Oluwatimi, C, Michigan

In the first round, the Buffalo Bills selected Olusegun Oluwatimi from Michigan.

This is a guy who can play both guard and center, however, his best work comes from that middle position.

After becoming a grad transfer to Michigan, it became apparent that “Olu” was one of the nation’s best interior lineman.

Not only was it apparent, but it was awarded. Oluwatimi was the 2022 Rimington Award winner, which is an award given to the most outstanding center in Division I football.

And, along with the Rimington, Olu also earned the Outland Trophy, which is awarded annually to the Outstanding Interior Lineman.

Watching Oluwatimi play is something that likely comes up in Brandon Beane’s dreams, and while it’s a bit too early to pinpoint some of the landing spots for certain draft prospects, it’s likely that the Bills could select Oluwatimi with their natural first-round pick.

Olu is a force to be reckoned with whether run-blocking or pass-blocking.

And with an offense that can fluxuate between best in the league and bottom five, building an offensive line to keep Josh Allen and Co. safe is one of, if not the, top priority for the Buffalo Bills.

Drafting Olu Oluwatimi does that immediately.
