It’s pure madness. MADNESS I TELL YOU! For a long time I have done a full mock draft and outlined the Buffalo Bills’ picks. Last year was the first year I got a chance to publish it for Buffalo Rumblings. Prior to that, I took the first round and put it on the old Buffalo Bills Message Board for some lively discussion.
All 32 teams and all seven rounds are here for your consumption. For full explanations of many of the picks made, make sure to listen to this week’s Thursday episode of “The Bruce Exclusive” on the Buffalo Rumblings podcast network.
(Note: all trades were completed using approved compensation from the model in the mock draft simulator at TheDraftNetwork.com).
Let’s get after it, folks!

- Dallas Cowboys - Jaycee Horn, CB, South Carolina
- New York Giants - Penei Sewell, OT, Oregon

- Jacksonville Jaguars - Rondale Moore, WR, Purdue
- (TRADE - BUF receives 1-26; CLE received 1-30, 6-213 and 2022 4th) - BUFFALO BILLS - JAYSON OWEH, EDGE, PENN STATE: The Cleveland Browns have an analytically focused front office, which means they very well may have a small trade down on their mind to pick up multiple picks. I have a hard time believing the Bills wouldn’t love Oweh given Brandon Beane’s tendency to draft athletic freaks early (Edmunds, Allen, Oliver) and trust his coaches to develop them properly. Brandon Beane said that explosion off the ball was a priority trait when evaluating pass rushers and also that he was thinking more long-term than short-term at the original pick 30, and Oweh checks both those boxes. The Bills general manager doesn’t want to give up valuable capital in day two that could turn into meaningful players for his team, but once Oweh slips into the range where a trade up can be done using only day three picks, Beane makes his move here to get in front of both the Ravens and Packers who could be in play for Oweh. Azeez Ojulari would be a great fit here, but concerns about his knee have cropped up in the last week and Beane may not be sure about the medical. The Super Bowl and Kansas City’s investment in the offensive line this offseason make the Bills not want to face the Chiefs again with the same defensive line.

- Kansas City Chiefs - Nico Collins, WR, Michigan
- Cleveland Browns - Dayvion Nixon, IDL, Iowa
- New Orleans Saints - Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, USC
- BUFFALO BILLS - TYSON CAMPBELL, CB, GEORGIA: Beane takes a swing on traits with another Bulldog, trusting his coaches to help the development along as he did with Tremaine Edmunds, Josh Allen, and Ed Oliver. The second outside cornerback position can be manned by incumbent Levi Wallace and 2020 seventh-round pick Dane Jackson until Campbell shows he can be trusted to execute in a scheme that should allow his athleticism to shine. While Campbell’s ball skills and polish have been questioned, he possesses the closing speed and smooth hips necessary to development into a multi-faceted cornerback in the NFL.

- BUFFALO BILLS - ALIM MCNEILL, IDL, NORTH CAROLINA STATE: Buffalo was forced to play both 2019 first-round pick Ed Oliver and the since-released Quinton Jefferson at one-tech defensive tackle far more than they likely would have preferred in 2020. Although long-time McDermott starter Star Lotulelei is expected back after taking advantage of the COVID-19 opt-out last season, there’s no way of guaranteeing his efficacy after a year off. Additionally, previous third-round pick Harrison Phillips hasn’t panned out to the point where he can be trusted as a full-time starter in the event there’s a lack of production in front of him on the depth chart. 2020 free-agent signing Vernon Butler had a contract restructure after a disappointing first year with the Bills. Beane would probably like to address this need later in the draft, but with no fourth-round pick, he pulls the trigger before the long wait he may endure and makes sure the right player is in the right position this year on his defensive line. McNeil is roughly the same size as Star Lotulelei was coming out of Utah and is a better athlete with some pass-rush potential. His relative newness to the position combined with strong showings of power make this a pick that can help the Bills right now and in the future.

- BUFFALO BILLS - JOSHUAH BLEDSOE, S, MISSOURI: The Bills loss of Sean McDermott staple Dean Marlowe opened a roster spot at No. 3 safety and while former sixth-round pick Jaquan Johnson is present on the roster, reinforcements at an important position to the defense are necessary. Bledsoe can fill the Marlowe role in man coverage against offensive slot weapons while learning the nuances of playing deep safety with a stronger athletic profile than Jaquan Johnson provides. There’s untapped potential in Bledsoe given his tools relative to the role he played at Missouri and that upside, paired with a coaching staff known for their ability to maximize secondary personnel, creates great value on day three.

- BUFFALO BILLS - JACK ANDERSON, IOL, TEXAS TECH: Despite the re-signing of guard Jon Feliciano and the restructure of center Mitch Morse’s contract, interior offensive line remains a need not just in the present, but in the future. With former second-round pick Cody Ford tentatively scheduled to slot in at left guard, the starting lineup may be set, but Ford has yet to show consistency and the concussion history of Mitch Morse has to be taken into account when planning for the future. Anderson plays the game with an energy and aggression level that would make him a McDermott favorite, and coming from Texas Tech’s fast-paced and pass-heavy scheme, he’s gotten a lot of reps in protection. There are concerns that his athleticism may be maxed out, but flaws in technique give him some upside with professional coaching.

- BUFFALO BILLS - WHOP PHILYOR, WR, INDIANA: A large portion of the Buffalo offense is made possible by the presence of slot receiver Cole Beasley. The quickness and separation ability of the reliable weapon allows presentation to quarterback Josh Allen in the short and intermediate areas of the field. Beasley is 32 years old and coming off a broken leg, and backup slot receiver Isaiah McKenzie is on a one-year contract. Investing in that position using a rookie on a four-year deal would be wise, and Philyor (pronounced FILL-yur) fits the bill. Philyor consistently produced against Big Ten competition as part of a competitive Indiana team in 2020, reeling in 54 balls in only eight games due to the COVID-shortened conference schedule. A large portion of his receptions came on bubble screens and as part of packaged plays, and his athletic profile doesn’t overly impress—but he offers kick and punt return ability as well as competitive effort as a blocker. As a developmental slot receiver, the investment is right at the end of the draft.
