Finally, we have reached April 26th. Of course, that means that draft day is upon us. Only a few more hours of speculation now until we find out where the chips will fall.
Although every analyst, blogger and fan has tried to place a player with a team, all we really have is educated (and some uneducated) guesses.
As the rumors swirl and the front offices put out statements to confuse or to smokescreen their eventual picks, we here at the sportsbuff aren’t going to try and predict each pick of the draft. Instead, I’ve decided to list the scenarios I see playing out for the folks at One Bills Drive as the night grows older.
First and foremost, let me list the positions in which I feel the Bills will be targetting throughout the draft, in order from largest need to smallest.
Offensive Tackle: With the departure of Demetrius Bell, who had a surprisingly impressive season last year, the Bills are weak at the tackle position. Throughout the week, Buddy Nix has acknowledged the need for a starting tackle, but has not dropped many hints on where the Bills think they can pick him. One thing is for sure: there is absolutely no scenario in which the Bills exit the draft without taking at least one tackle.
