The Buffalo Bills have officially entered the offseason.
Although there are still four months in between now and the 2020 NFL Draft, months that include the Senior Bowl, NFL Scouting Combine, free agency and pro days, it is never too early to enter the wonderful world of mock drafts!
Here is our first, and perhaps way too early Bills mock draft for the 2020 offseason:
Higgins is the perfect fit for what Josh Allen and the Bills' passing attack needs. The Clemson product is 6-foot-4 with the ability to go up and make difficult, contested catches.
This pick makes too much sense.
It's all about building around the quarterback. Grab a big wide receiver, and an upgrade on the interior of the offensive line won't hurt here.
Nick Harris isn't the biggest lineman at 6-foot-1, 302 pounds, but he has impressive quickness and athleticism, especially right out of his stance.
Shaq Lawson is an unrestricted free agent in the spring, but even if Buffalo were to retain Lawson on a new contract, the Bills still need an upgrade on the edge.
Both Jerry Hughes and Trent Murphy will be over the age of 30 by the start of next season, and neither consistently got to the quarterback.
In comes Darrell Taylor - an explosive pass-rusher with a variety of moves to beat protection. Taylor also has the bend to get around tackles through a number of angles.
An upside pick in the third round.
Creating a thunder and lightning backfield in Buffalo with this pick. Devin Singletary has already established himself as one of the most explosive, efficient young running backs in the NFL.
It has been a lot of offense so far in this class, so it may be time to add another prospect to the secondary.
In comes Arizona State cornerback Chase Lucas - an instinctive coverage defender that can play both inside and outside.
Stronger in man coverage than zone.
Quarterman isn't a three-down linebacker that will excel in coverage but that is what Tremaine Edmunds and Matt Milano are for.
What the Bills defense needs is a reliable tackler who is disciplined and strong in shedding blockers against the run.
Quarterman can be that guy for Buffalo in base packages.
This pick could be a steal of the draft in the sixth round. Denzil Mims is another tall pass-catcher at 6-foot-3 with a huge catch radius.
Like Higgins, Mims can go up and make extremely difficult catches with eye-popping body control.
Don't be surprised if he has been long gone by the time this pick comes up in April.
The final pick of the draft for Buffalo features another exciting late-round prospect.
Jones was known for his pass-rushing ability at Michigan State but he is a large, strong player that can be productive against the run as well.
You know the old saying. You can never have too many pass-rushers.
