The Buffalo Bills are suddenly contenders in the AFC East and they continue to build their roster with this 2020 7-round NFL Mock Draft.

Entering Week 12, the Buffalo Bills find themselves in a great position to make the playoffs. They’re second in the AFC East with a record of 7-3, just two games behind the New England Patriots. And when they played their division leaders earlier in the season, they held their own.

The Patriots walked away with a win, but it was by just six points and came with Josh Allen sidelined late with a concussion. That was also one of his worst games of the season, throwing three interceptions and no touchdowns.

That hasn’t been the norm for the No. 7 overall pick in 2018 out of Wyoming. Allen has been much better at taking care of the ball this season, throwing 13 touchdowns and only four picks outside of their loss to New England. He still isn’t getting the respect he deserves around the league, but Allen is playing well and giving the Bills a chance to win games.

He’s doing so without a great cast around him — although John Brown has become quite the player for them. In Week 11, he was on fire, pulling in nine passes for 137 yards and two touchdowns as they torched the Miami Dolphins.

As impressive as they’ve been this season, the Bills need to continue to add talent to their roster. They’ve drafted well as of late and we look to continue that trend here with this 7-round 2020 NFL Mock Draft.
