2019 NFL Mock Draft 2.0: Garrett Bradbury intriguing option for Los Angeles Rams

9. Buffalo Bills: Florida Offensive Lineman Jawaan Taylor
Thanks to some previous key moves, the Buffalo Bills were fortunate enough to have two picks in the first round of last year’s draft, with one of those selections being Josh Allen to finally provide the offense with a quarterback who had potential.
At the time, there were some questions over whether the Bills were making a mistake with Allen instead of another available prospect, but after watching the former Wyoming star perform the way he did as a rookie, they seem pretty happy with their decision.
Now that Allen has a year of NFL experience under his belt, the task for Buffalo now becomes building a better offense around their beloved quarterback, whether it involves improving the offensive line or simply providing more help at wide receiver.
For the Bills, the best option may be to focus on finding a wide receiver in another round since offensive lineman seems deserving of a first-round selection. And since Jawaan Taylor is expected to still be available at No. 9, Buffalo would be foolish to pass on one of the top offensive lineman from this year’s draft class.
With the right protection, the goal here for the Bills in 2019 is to make sure Allen improves from his rookie campaign, and if this happens to be the case, maybe this team could be a surprise playoff contender for the second time in three seasons.
