26. Miami Dolphins: Travon Walker, DL, Georgia

Scouting Report. Georgia. player. 59. Pick Analysis. DL. Travon Walker. 26

The Miami Dolphins don’t currently have a head coach, but that doesn’t mean they would pass on this kind of a chance to add a big-time threat on the defensive line regardless of who is hired as head coach.

He can play on the edge at the next level and he is a powerful, athletic presence up front.

With his combination of athletic traits and overall strength, you might see Walker go a lot higher than this despite not having elite production statistically.

I like Walker projecting to the next level playing off the edge or matching up on the interior on passing downs.

27. Buffalo Bills: Jameson Williams, WR, Alabama

This could wind up being the steal of the draft if Jameson Williams is able to come back to full strength from the injury he suffered in the National Championship game.

For the time being, the Bills will be more than just getting by at the wide receiver position with Stefon Diggs, Gabriel Davis, and Cole Beasley. Whenever Williams is able to play, maybe at the start of the 2022 season, he would bring an explosive element of speed to the Bills’ offense which is already loaded.

Buffalo is one of the rare teams that can actually afford this kind of a luxury pick in round one.
