With much of the team’s pressing needs fulfilled by re-signing most of their own free agents, the Buffalo Bills can be choosy about their NFL Draft choices in 2021. For ESPN’s Todd McShay, that means the Bills could load up on defensive linemen—even a year after spending the team’s top pick on defensive end A.J. Epenesa.
In McShay’s latest mock draft, he had the Bills picking Miami edge rusher Jaelan Phillips with their first-round pick. Until now, McShay had Buffalo focus on running backs, but Najee Harris and Travis Etienne both were selected before the Bills picked, clearing the runway for Phillips’s selection.
