2017 NFL Mock Draft: First-round projections after CFP Semifinals

The options the Bills have for their first round pick are endless. They could go for an offensive lineman, but with the No. 10 overall pick, that might be a tad early, and they could also be looking at wide receiver.

Tyrod Taylor struggled mightily without a healthy Sammy Watkins this season and the Bills could look to add a wide out early on, given that their guy is still available. However, the only one they might consider worthy of this high of a pick might already be gone — Mike Williams fits that bill.

The defensive backfield also needs to be addressed and an athletic safety like Jabrill Peppers would be a solid option. He would be another ‘best available’ pick and he would bring return skills as well as the ability to play multiple positions to Buffalo.

After the loss to Florida State in the Orange Bowl in which Peppers didn’t play due to a hamstring injury, he was getting blasted on social media for sitting out. However, he did say the injury was severe enough that he could barely walk and admitted that he wasn’t sure whether or not he’d come back for his senior season.

For those who know about draft stock, it’s pretty obvious he will be declaring while he’s considered a mid-first round selection. He could help the Bills out in more ways than one with his incredible athleticism.
