ESPN's Todd McShay released his latest 2016 NFL mock draft on Tuesday morning, albeit with a twist: rather than projecting players to teams, as most mock drafts try to do, McShay instead acted as the GM for each team's pick, drafting the player he saw as the best fit for the team with that selection.
The mock went for a full three rounds, and his three Buffalo Bills picks were, in order: Alabama linebacker Reggie Ragland, Florida defensive lineman Jonathan Bullard, and Notre Dame cornerback KeiVarae Russell.
Most of you have read plenty on Ragland this spring, but Bullard and especially Russell are less-discussed names in these parts. Bullard is seen as one of the more versatile defensive linemen in this year's draft class, packing solid athleticism into his 6'3", 285-pound frame. He'd profile as an end-tackle 'tweener in the Ryan defense.
Russell is an interesting story. The highly athletic 5'11", 192-pound cornerback missed all of the 2014 season due to academic-related issues, then fractured his tibia in November and missed the rest of the season. He didn't work out at the Combine in February because of the medical issue, but impressed with a 4.43-second 40-yard dash at Notre Dame's pro day on March 31. He has press coverage ability and top athleticism, but there are concerns on and off the field, as well as with how his size will hold up at the pro level.
How would you grade McShay's three defensive-flavored draft picks for the Bills?
