Jonathan Taylor, Wisconsin

Taylor is a first-round talent whom some mocks may see dropping to Day 2. However, it’s definitely not due to his abilities; he may be a victim of the league looking at multi-back tandems as the norm. And, that could fall into Buffalo’s favor. 

Taylor is a beast. At 5-foot-10, 226 pounds, he is powerful and agile. He has big-time speed, clocking in at 4.39 in the 40-yard dash at the combine. He can be a home run hitter. He rushed for a ridiculous 6,174 yards in three seasons as a Badger. Add in 50 rushing touchdowns during this time, and it’s a wonder that some are mocking him to the Bills in the second round. 

There’s a small chance that Taylor could be around at the 54th spot in the draft, but if he is around, it would be a solid best player available pick for the Bills.

JK Dobbins, Ohio State

Dobbins put up massive numbers during his junior year at Ohio State. He rushed for 2,003 yards and 21 rushing touchdowns. Dobbins was a big-time player for the Buckeyes, averaging 173 rushing years in Ohio State’s two post-regular season games. 

Like Taylor, Dobbins has first-round talent. Depending on how the teams interested in running backs select their choices, he could be a best player available option for the Bills, even if it’s a longshot.
