2022 NFL mock draft: Todd McShay gives Buffalo Bills cornerback
The Buffalo Bills just completed the 2021 NFL Draft which naturally means draft experts and nerds are turning their attention to the 2022 NFL Draft. With lots of unknowns, it’s just a speculative exercise, but Todd McShay’s pick is not going to happen.
Josh Jobe, CB, Alabama
Jobe started opposite Pat Surtain II last season and was an effective press-man corner with the ability to reroute receivers at the line of scrimmage. He attacks the ball in the air and broke up 11 passes last season, but he has just one interception over three seasons. After Buffalo took care of the edge rushing group at the draft, it will be able to focus on adding to the secondary next offseason.
2021 NFL Draft: Texas Tech OG Jack Anderson is the final Buffalo Bills pick
A 38-game starting right guard joins the Bills.
With the 236th pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, their final pick in the draft, the Buffalo Bills selected Texas Tech offensive lineman Jack Anderson. The 6’5” 315-lb lineman had 38 starts for the Red Raiders in his career, all at right guard. A solidly built prospect with sufficient athleticism for the position, Anderson isn’t afraid to mix it up and wrestle in the trenches with defenders.
Anderson did miss almost all of the 2019 season with a shoulder injury, but returned to action and was a first-team All-Big 12 selection at the end of 2020.
2021 NFL Draft: Buffalo Bills pick Tommy Doyle, OT from Miami (Ohio) 161st overall
Doubling up on offensive tackles now.
The Buffalo Bills completed a double-double in the 2021 NFL Draft, picking two offensive tackles after starting the weekend by drafting two defensive ends. Miami of Ohio’s left tackle, Tommy Doyle, was their pick with the 161st overall choice in the fifth round.
Doyle, a two-time first-team All-MAC player, started 30 games at both right and left tackle for Miami (Ohio). Like Spencer Brown picked before him, Doyle is a massive player and a tremendous athlete he stands 6’8” and 320 lbs, and had a 33.5” vertical at his pro day.
