2019 NFL Mock Draft 1.0: Los Angeles Rams focus on linebacker first round
By Dan Parzych
9. Buffalo Bills: Jonah Williams, Offensive Tackle, Alabama
Thanks to some previous wheeling and dealing, the Buffalo Bills were fortunate to earn two picks in the first round of last year’s draft, making it seem pretty clear one would be used on a potential quarterback to build the franchise around.
At the time, plenty of critics questioned the decision by the Bills to go with Josh Allen since Josh Allen was still on the board, but no one seems to be questioning the decision anymore after looking at some of the former Wyoming star’s accomplishments as a rookie.
With Buffalo finally having a quarterback they feel confident about, the task for the Bills now becomes making sure Allen has a proper offense to work with, whether it involves boosting the offensive line or bringing on better receivers.
Over the years, Nick Saban has been responsible for helping numerous great offensive lineman go on to succeed at the NFL level, and Jonah Williams seems like he will soon be joining that amazing list.
The size and power Williams possesses alone makes him an intriguing option for the Bills at No. 9 since after focusing on Allen last year, it’s up to the team to make sure their beloved quarterback receives the necessary protection.
