16. . OT. Alabama. Cam Robinson. 20. player

After the game he had against Myles Garrett, you could make the argument that Alabama offensive tackle Cam Robinson should go higher than No. 20, but that’s where he landed on this mock draft.

The Buffalo Bills have a lot of guys dealing with injuries this season, but even when completely healthy the team still needs some help at right tackle. Although he plays on the left side of the line at Alabama, Robinson could make the switch if he landed in Buffalo.

Robinson is a monster at 6’6” and 327 pounds and uses every pound of that frame to drive defenders back when run blocking. He’s still not the most polished pass blocker, making right tackle a logical move for him at the next level.

With Robinson paving the way for guys like LeSean McCoy, the Bills offense could take the next step in 2017.
