2020 NFL Draft: Bills take DE, RB in 3-round mock

Without a first-round pick, the Buffalo Bills will make waiting awhile to make a selection at the 2020 NFL Draft. 

Without a first-round pick, the Buffalo Bills will make waiting awhile to make a selection at the 2020 NFL Draft.

After digging through 53 picks, Draft Wire finally sends a pick to Buffalo in their latest mock draft, and with their top pick, the Bills land a defensive end, Boise State’s Curtis Weaver.

In Weaver, the Bills would land a versatile player that showed an ability to play with his hand in the dirt and off tackle. However, he’d be a defensive end for the Bills. He was the 2019 Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year, racking up 52 total tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss and 13.5 sacks. Weaver also had an interception.

In terms of run vs. pass defending, he’s more of a proven run defender. Weaver would join the likes of Jerry Hughes and Mario Addison along the Bills’ defensive end position group. Those two will lead the way, but the Bills could use a young prospect in that group since both of those guys are already over 30.

Following up Weaver, the Bills then add a running back in the mock draft, Utah’s Zach Moss at the No. 86 overall pick.

At 5-foot-10 and 224 pounds, Moss would provide the bigger complement to Devin Singletary in Buffalo’s backfield. His running style echos that as Moss is more of a power rusher instead of a home run threat. Moss only put up a 4.65 40-yard dash time, but did have 19 reps on the bench press.
