The first round is in the books, and with the 19th overall selection the Buffalo Bills picked Clemson edge rusher Shaq Lawson to fill an immediate need. Even with Lawson, the Bills still have some clear needs on the defensive side of the ball.
However, on Day Two of the draft and beyond, teams start to draft less for need and try to find the most talented player available on the board that fits their scheme. For the Bills, that means they could look to the offensive side of the ball at some point on Friday.
How might it all look when Friday night is said and done? A look at how Day Three could pan out:
Round Two
32) - QB Connor Cook, Michigan State
33) - CB Kendall Fuller, Virginia Tech
34) - QB Christian Hackenberg, Penn State
35) - OT Jason Spriggs, Indiana
36) - LB Myles Jack, UCLA
37) (from SF) - S Vonn Bell, Ohio State
38) - EDGE Noah Spence, Eastern Kentucky
39) - DT Chris Jones, Mississippi State
40) - LB Reggie Ragland, Alabama
41) - DL A'Shawn Robinson, Alabama
42) - CB Mackensie Alexander, Clemson
43) (from PHI via LA) - NT Andrew Billings, Baylor
44) - EDGE Kevin Dodd, Clemson
45) (from LA) - WR Braxton Miller, Ohio State
46) - DT Jarran Reed, Alabama
47) - EDGE Emmanuel Ogbah, Oklahoma State
48) - LB Su'a Cravens, USC
49) - DL Bronson Kaufusi, BYU
- This pick holds true from my final mock draft. The Bills didn't address their defensive line in the first round and instead opted for a pass-rushing linebacker in Shaq Lawson. In the second round with plenty of good defensive linemen slipping into Day Two, the Bills are holding on to hope that one of those players -- specifically someone like nose tackle Jarran Reed -- will be there for them by the time they're on the clock. With two fourth-round picks, I could even see the Bills trying to move up in the second round to secure one of the more established defensive linemen, but Bronson Kaufusi is a compelling prospect as well. He has great size (6-foot-6, 285-pounds) -- and some believe he can get even bigger, he has great length to be a five-technique defensive end, and shows fantastic speed and movement ability for a man his size. The Bills might also consider USC linebacker Su'a Cravens here with this pick, along with some consideration for a wide receiver as well.
50) - TE Hunter Henry, Arkansas
51) - EDGE Kamalei Correa, Boise State
52) - G Cody Whitehair, Kansas State
53) - LB Deion Jones, LSU
54) - DT Austin Johnson, Penn State
55) - WR Pharoh Cooper, South Carolina
56) - OT Le'Raven Clark, Texas Tech
57) - LB Kyler Fackrell, Utah State
58) - OT Shon Coleman, Auburn
59) - LB Joshua Perry, Ohio State
60) - HB Derrick Henry, Alabama
61) (from ARI) - DT Hassan Ridgeway, Texas
62) - WR Sterling Shepard, Oklahoma
63) - LB Jordan Jenkins, Georgia
Round Three
64) - CB Cyrus Jones, Alabama
65) - DL Jonathan Bullard, Florida
66) - DL Sheldon Day, Notre Dame
67) - CB Xavien Howard, Baylor
68) - QB Dak Prescott, Mississippi State
69) - G Christian Westerman, Arizona State
70) - CB KeiVarae Russell, Notre Dame
71) - WR Michael Thomas, Ohio State
72) - HB Kenneth Dixon, Louisiana Tech
73) - HB Jordan Howard, Indiana
74) - S Miles Killebrew, Southern Utah
75) - CB James Bradberry, Samford
76) (from LA via TEN) - LB Jaylon Smith, Notre Dame
77) (from DET via PHI) - G Nick Martin, Notre Dame
78) - WR Charone Peaks, Clemson
79) - HB Devontae Booker, Utah
80) - QB Cardale Jones, Ohio State
- The Bills could try to wait on a quarterback until their initial selection in the fourth round, but it all depends on how the board falls. The early rush for quarterbacks in the second round, and then Dak Prescott going off the board might force their hand a bit. I was quite close to giving them Wisconsin inside linebacker Joe Schobert at this spot, but ultimately landed on the potential high yielding Cardale Jones. The situation is perfect for the 6-foot-5, 253-pound quarterback to come in and just learn from everyone else -- and to not be expected to play in any capacity in 2016. I could definitely see them trying to maximize their value, wait it out, and try to select a linebacker, wide receiver, or safety at this spot. However, if they are as interested in Cardale Jones as I think they are, they might not want to wait on him. And besides, no one is going to lose their job over a third round pick of a quarterback. If they do wait on a quarterback, Kevin Hogan is the name to watch if someone scoops up Jones.
