With the first round of the NFL’s first ever virtual NFL Draft in the books, the second round is now just hours away. With that comes the Buffalo Bills’ first selection.
As the dust settled, it appears the Bills could still land plenty of talent with their first pick at No. 54 overall. In Touchdown Wire‘s latest mock draft following the first round on Thursday and ahead of Friday’s Day 2 of the 2020 draft, the Bills land a running back with vselection.
The move is JK Dobbins from Ohio State:
54. Buffalo Bills: J.K. Dobbins, RB, Ohio State
The Buffalo Bills have a slasher type already in Devin Singletary, but with the acquisition of J.K. Dobbins from Ohio State, they add the tough, between-the-tackles type of back—a perfect complement to what Singletary provides the Bills’ offense.
In Dobbins, the Bills would land a 5-foot-10, 217 pound rusher that certainly has the vitals which indicate he’ll be a more powerful back than the 5-foot-7 Singletary. Dobbins proved in college that he’ll use that size to run through contact and keep gaining yards.
Another important aspect of Dobbins’ game is when he played well. He often stepped up for the Buckeyes in big games. At the next level, Dobbins will have to add more receiving skill to his game and consistency as a pass protector. As a rookie, Singletary took some strides in those categories for the Bills himself.
The second round is slated for a 7 p.m. start on Friday.
