This is not an easy draft to mock and the Bills pick did not go anywhere near where I wanted to. In the end I went with the potential of Washington over the proven quality of Mayer. It's a not a huge positional need, but Washington with his size and athleticism is a matchup nightmare and he can help blocking both inline and out of the slot in the run game. I was really hoping to actually mock Bresee to the Bills at 27, but he made too much sense for the Cowboys at 26.
As always I don't mock trades, but I do expect there to be a few tomorrow night. I expect Beane to be active on the phones and working to get into the the 15-20 if he sees WR Jaxon Smith-Nijba available. Honestly, it wouldn't shock me to see the Bills pull a deal with the Pats if the Pack pass on Smith-Njigba.
Alternative options at the Bills pick based on the mock:
WR Jordan Addison, USC
OG Steve Avila, TCU
CB Brian Branch, Alabama
2) Houston Texans – QB CJ Stroud, Ohio State
3) Arizona Cardinals – DE Will Anderson, Alabama
4) Indianapolis Colts – QB Will Levis, Kentucky
