With two remaining picks in the first three rounds of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills can still do some damage with those selections.
Those two picks come at No. 54 overall and No. 86 in the second and third rounds, respectively. With those two selections, The Draft Network‘s latest mock draft has the Bills using that pair on a running back and cornerback.
The picks are Wisconsin’s rusher Jonathan Taylor and Virginia defensive back Bryce Hall.
In Taylor, the Bills would get their complementary running back to Devin Singletary. Taylor is a powerful back with some speed, while Singletary uses his shifty behavior to beat would-be tacklers. That would be the makings of a potential dynamic duo, and would address one of the very few “needs” left on the Bills roster following free agency. Taylor was used very much up the middle in Wisconsin’s offense and in the NFL will have to show some more versatility getting to the outside, something he could be more than capable of doing.
In Hall, the Bills might be drafting for anything other than best player on their board if he’s the pick. With the recent additions of EJ Gaines and Josh Norman to their cornerback room, one which already included Levi Wallace, Tre’Davious White and Taron Johnson, that crew would be a hard unit to crack for Hall.
But still, Hall, a 6-foot-1 cornerback with size, could be a smart pick because of durability questions with Norman and Gaines. The Bills wouldn’t feel good if both of those guys don’t make it out of training camp healthy.
Jonathan Taylor had ridiculous career production at Wisconsin. A big physical runner with great open-field speed. Reads the blocks off the counter play well and then turns on the second gear. @ArrowheadLive pic.twitter.com/zo42QUI90R
