Buffalo Bills Mock Draft: Giving Josh Allen everything he needs
By Ryan Heckman
The Bills don’t yet know exactly how they will replace former inside linebacker Tremaine Edmunds after he signed with the Chicago Bears. But, there will likely be a competition to do so. In the fifth round, Buffalo adds to that competition with Indiana linebacker Cam Jones.
As a three-year starter, Jones comes in with plenty of experience. He is more of a one-dimensional player in the respect that he defends the run very well. He’s great at diagnosing plays and shooting the gaps.
However, his speed will prevent him from being a true threat in pass coverage. Running his 40-yard dash in 4.69 seconds, Jones possesses average speed.
Jones’ physicality and play style should offer special teams potential as a rookie, if nothing else. He would fit well as a possible standout in that realm, but if he can find a way to get just a little faster, he could find himself competing for a starting job.
