Ryan Ramczyk

OT, Wisconsin

The Buffalo Bills have a huge decision to make about Tyrod Taylor this offseason, as he is scheduled to make a ton of money if they decide to retain him. Despite the fact that his status with the team is up in the air, the fact of the matter is that he played very good football this past season, and there are not too many good quarterbacks left in the league. The Bills need to make sure they hang on to Taylor, and if they do, bring in a big offensive lineman via the draft.

Ryan Ramczyk of Wisconsin is the kind of offensive line prospect that scouts drool over, and the Bills would certainly be lucky to have him. He is the only player in this draft who should stay at left tackle at the next level, and the Bills need all the help they can get up front. LeSean McCoy and Sammy Watkins are explosive offensive weapons, but if Taylor is running for his life, it is not going to do the team much good.

Buffalo has a new coach this season, as the team bid farewell to Rex Ryan before the end of the regular season. Sean McDermott will be getting his first shot to run a team, so he will probably want to  go the safe route and pick up a legitimate offensive lineman. He has a nice canvas to work with in Buffalo, and should be able to get the Bills back to their winning ways before long.
