Buffalo Bills: 7-Round 2020 mock draft after Wild Card loss to Texans

Considering that Tre’Davious White was an All-Pro performer this season and that Levi Wallace and Kevin Johnson played well, the Bills aren’t desperate at corner. However, a prospect like Darnay Holmes offers a lot of intrigue.

The UCLA product is incredibly gifted as a quick athlete with great coverage skills. While he needs to become a more physical player, Buffalo could be the place to help him develop that and allow him to reach his potential.

After using a first-round pick on Ed Oliver last year and with Star Lotulelei and Harrison Phillips in tow, the Bills aren’t in dire need on the interior of the defensive line. The reward of hitting on a player like Jordan Elliott is too great to pass up in the fourth round. While not an every-down player, he can be a force on pass-rushing downs along the defensive front in base and sub-packages.

After adding Jefferson in Round 2, the Bills shouldn’t be done addressing their offense as it pertains to the wide receiver group. They need to diversify the weapons that Allen will have at his disposal, which makes using a fifth-round selection on a player like Chase Claypool makes a lot of sense.

The Notre Dame product is a huge body at 6-4, 229 pounds that can be a physical matchup nightmare. While he isn’t a fast or quick player, which does raise some concern about his ability to break free from coverage, he’s great at winning in contested situations and can be a good situational player for Buffalo’s offense.

Drafting John Simpson as he is would not be a move for the Bills to put him as a starting offensive lineman right away. He does not have the requisite athleticism to be an every-down blocker right now. However, Buffalo needs to go about adding depth in the trenches and finding a player with the play-strength and power of the Clemson product could help them do that. Simpson could serve as a solid depth piece while the Bills coaching staff works on his footwork and athleticism.
