2017 NFL Mock Draft: Jets go quarterback
By Brad Weiss
The Buffalo Bills said goodbye to Rex Ryan during the 2016 NFL season, as he and his brother Rob were given their walking papers prior to Week 17. While the Bills have a bunch of work to do before being a legitimate contender in the AFC East, they do have some exciting players on the offensive side of the ball. While Tyrod Taylor does not appear to be the long-term answer in Buffalo, he did put up solid numbers in 2016, and is deserving of another shot at being the team’s quarterback next season.
Putting some quality players in front of him has to be a priority for the Bills, who have some weaknesses up and down the offensive line. Ryan Ramczyk of Wisconsin is the best offensive line prospect in this draft, and he would be a perfect fit in Buffalo. Ramczyk has been a dominant force along the offensive line for the Badgers during his time in college, and the Bills need that kind of presence on their roster for 2017.
LeSean McCoy is one of the best running backs in the AFC, and when healthy, wide receiver Sammy Watkins is an exciting talent. The AFC East produced two playoff teams in 2016, and if the Bills can upgrade along their offensive line, they could have an offensive unit that could win them a bunch of games in 2017. Ramczyk is a very nice player, and if the Bills decide to roll with Taylor once again in 2017, they will certainly be happy they upgrade his offensive line via the draft.
