  1. Buffalo Bills

Andrew Billings – DT – Baylor

Rob Ryan is now an assistant coach unde head coach and brother Rex Ryan. Defense will be an early priority for the Bills and finding an run stuffing defensive tackle is important. The Bills have a bigger need at right tackle but the prospects in the first round are taken leaving them to concentrate on the defensive line.

The Bills also could use a defensive end but it’s likely they try and beef up the inside first and address the other needs later in the draft. Austin Johnson a defensive tackle from Penn State is also a possibility here as well. While the Bills could also use help at wide-receiver it’s likely they address that in free agency.

NOTE: Prior to the posting of this mock draft but after it’s completion, the Bills released DE Mario Williams. The Bills needs have changed somewhat with the news but DT is still a priority.
