16. . Offensive Tackle. Texas. Connor Williams. 22. player

The Buffalo Bills will pick twice in the first round, with their second of two picks coming at No. 22. This pick was given to them by the Kansas City Chiefs during the 2017 NFL Draft, when the Chiefs traded up to select Patrick Mahomes II from Texas Tech. The Bills will draft a quarterback of their own with their first first round pick, leaving them to bolster the offensive line later in round one.

Of all the offensive tackles in the 2018 NFL Draft class, few are more exciting than Connor Williams from Texas. During his time with the Longhorns, Williams quickly established himself as one of the better left tackles in all of college football. While I do believe Mike McGlinchey is the best prospect of the bunch, Williams is certain to hear his name called in the first round next Thursday.

Williams can stay on the left side at  the next level, which is not something you can say about nearly all of the other left tackles in this draft class. The Bills traded away starting left tackle Cordy Glenn to the Cincinnati Bengals for pick No. 12, so they have a hole at the position right now. Williams could slide right in as a rookie and start for Buffalo, who will be looking to make it back to the playoffs for the second straight season in 2018.
