The core is still intact, which means the Bills just need a strong draft to increase their odds of winning it all. Mock drafts aren&#8217;t perfect, but they&#8217;re a good way to get a general vibe of what might happen when the big event takes place. Without further ado, let&#8217;s see what the experts expect in this Buffalo Bills mock draft roundup.<\/p>\n<p>[pickup_prop id=&#8221;6052&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>Buffalo Bills Mock Draft Roundup: Defense Is the Priority<\/h2>\n<h4>Yahoo Sports (Eric Edholm) \u2013 Jayson Oweh, EDGE<\/h4>\n<p>We had Jayson Oweh to the Bills in a previous <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2021\/03\/31\/buffalo-bills-seven-round-mock-draft-2021-nfl-draft\/\" target=\"_self\">seven-round mock draft<\/a>, so it\u2019s safe to say that we\u2019re fans of this pick. Oweh is far from the safest prospect in this draft, but he has one of the highest ceilings in the entire class if he actually hits. Picking at the back of the first means that all the \u201csafe\u201d prospects are gone, so it\u2019s in Buffalo\u2019s best interest to shoot for the moon and hope the coaching can bring out the best in this athletic freak.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2021\/03\/26\/2021-nfl-draft-profile-jayson-oweh\/\" target=\"_self\">Jayson Oweh NFL Daft Profile<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/2021-nfl-mock-draft-could-6-quarterbacks-land-in-round-1-134217050.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Edholm&#8217;s Full Mock Draft<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h4>SI (Conor Orr) \u2013 Greg Newsome II, CB<\/h4>\n<p>Tre\u2019Davious White is one of the best cornerbacks in the league, but Buffalo needs to upgrade the other starting spot. Northwestern\u2019s Greg Newsome is one of the better corners in the class and should be able to compete for a starting job right out of the gate. While durability is a bit of a concern, the defensive back has fantastic technique, ideal length, and tested very well at his Pro Day.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2021\/04\/09\/greg-newsomeii-2021-nfl-draft-profile\/\" target=\"_self\">Greg Newsom NFL Draft Profile<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/2021\/04\/13\/nfl-mock-draft-san-francisco-49ers-trey-lance\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Orr&#8217;s Full Mock Draft<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Establish the Run (Evan Silva) \u2013 Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, LB<\/h4>\n<p>Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah is the perfect linebacker for today\u2019s pass-happy era. While he is undersized relative to the conventional build, he\u2019s a great hybrid player that can play both linebacker and safety. He\u2019s fantastic against the run and has the athleticism and positional awareness to drop into man against tight ends and running backs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/establishtherun.com\/silva-2021-nfl-mock-draft-1-0\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em><strong>Silva&#8217;s Full Mock Draft<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>CBS (Ryan Wilson) \u2013 Tyson Campbell, CB<\/h4>\n<p>Greg Newsome II might be the safer cornerback, but Tyson Campbell has the much higher ceiling. The man is built like an elite cornerback, and he flashes those traits every now and again. However, he still has a long way to go with his footwork and his technique does leave something to be desired. He\u2019ll probably start his career at the third cornerback on the depth chart but has the potential to form the best cornerback duo in the league with White.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/draft\/news\/two-round-2021-nfl-mock-draft-washington-trades-up-for-qb-bears-saints-target-qbs-in-round-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em><strong>Wilson&#8217;s Full Mock Draft<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Pro Football Focus (Sam Monson) \u2013 Azeez Ojulari, EDGE<\/h4>\n<p>Defense gets the clean sweep in this mock draft roundup, as PFF believes the Bills should go after Georgia\u2019s Azeez Ojulari. Ojulari is already a good run defender and should be able to earn playing time right out of the gate. However, his overall ceiling will be determined by his ability to get after the quarterback. Ojulari has the potential to be an above-average pass rusher, but he\u2019s still learning the nuances of the position. This is the classic high-floor, medium-ceiling pick that would be great at the end of the first.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pff.com\/news\/draft-2021-nfl-mock-draft-new-england-patriots-trade-up-mac-jones-cincinnati-bengals-jamarr-chase\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em><strong>Monson&#8217;s Full Mock Draft<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Main photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"k_FbgXUeTOBGDhcKT8BeJQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1229639353\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'k_FbgXUeTOBGDhcKT8BeJQ',sig:'Mu-_hg1r9hMbhlVkIOP4SpNLIGmnc29Aq0mlrGH-BsY=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1229639353',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buffalo Bills Mock Draft Roundup: With the NFL Draft just weeks away, what do the experts expect Buffalo to do when on the clock?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2376,"featured_media":110037,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[7702,7895,7942,7856],"class_list":["post-110036","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bills","tag-bills-featured","tag-buffalo-bills-draft","tag-greg-newsome-ii","tag-jayson-oweh"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110036","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2376"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110036"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110036\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/110037"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110036"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110036"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110036"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
