| ROUND/PICK |
PREDICTION/ANALYSIS |
| 1-5 ( #5 overall) |
QB Josh Allen - Wyoming The Bills send Denver the #12 and #22 picks in the draft to move up to five to get their franchise quarterback. I figure Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold are gone at this point and the choice is between the two Joshes. For some reason by gut tells me they prefer Allen to Rosen. |
| 2-21 ( #53 overall) |
LB Darius Leonard - South Carolina St. He is undersized but very fast and is the type of player that McDermott likes for the middle of his defense. |
| 2-24 ( #56 overall) |
WR Dante Pettis - Washington He's a speed receiver who can stretch the field. Something the Bills desperately need. |
| 3-1 ( #65 overall) |
G Braden Smith - Auburn The Bills unexpectedly have a need for interior linemen. Smith is a three year starter who has a good combination of size and speed with good strength. |
| 3-32 ( #96 overall) |
CB Parry Nickerson - Tulane Has a chance to develop into a solid nickel corner which is a position the Bills need help at. |
| 4-21 (#121 overall) |
DE Da'Shawn Hand - Alabama The Bills get an underachieving 4-3 defensive end. He is versatile and could develop into a solid role player at a position of future need. |
| 5-29 (#166 overall) |
DT Trenton Thompson - Georgia Could be a steal in this draft if he checks out medically after missing most of his senior year after undergoing shoulder surgery. He's a solid run stuffing tackle and the Bills need to prepare for life without Kyle Williams. |
| 6-13 (#187 overall) |
TE Will Dissly - Washington A converted defensive linemen who played only two years at TE. He's a hard nosed player who would be a project pick. |
