. Offensive Lineman. Buffalo Bills. Trey Smith. 22. player. 16

The Buffalo Bills rolled the dice on Josh Allen in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, and since then, he has become a legitimate winner at the NFL level. With their franchise quarterback secured, they need to turn their focus to the offensive line, and Trey Smith is an interesting prospect heading into next April.

Smith played all over the offensive line at Tennessee, and if there is one thing the Bills lack right now, it is depth up front. Allen has proven to be a franchise guy, so protecting him is priority No.1, just the way it is for all other young signal-callers at this level.

Jaylen Twyman. 23. player. 47. . Defensive Lineman. New England Patriots

The New England Patriots went on the road and took on the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night, and proved that they are still a tough out. Cam Newton has looked very good since putting on a Pats uniform, and they actually could be one of the last teams standing in the AFC this season.

One area they could use some help is up front along the defensive line, and Jaylen Twyman from Pitt would be a nice piece to put in the middle on a defense that continues to change piece. Bill Belichick always seems to find gold in the draft, and Twyman at No. 23 could prove to be a huge steal.

Walker Little. 24. player. 55. . Offensive Tackle. Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers have Ben Roethlisberger back in 2020, and he has turned this team back into one of the premier units in the NFL. They have gotten out to a 2-0 start to the NFL season, and are going to be serious contenders for supremacy in what should be a tight race in the AFC North.

In front of Big Ben, the Steelers may choose to spend their first round pick in 2021 on an offensive tackle, especially if they decide to move on from some of their veterans. Walker Little has long been considered a first round talent, and he would fit right in as a starter during his rookie campaign in Pittsburgh.
