Mock drafts are thought exercises. Very rarely are they intended to be predictive before the week of the actual NFL Draft is upon us, and mock drafts before free agency are especially volatile. They are intended not just to generate clicks, but individual reactions to a multitude of different possibilities.
ESPN’s Todd McShay released a mock draft on Wednesday, February 15 that introduced a potentially new player into the minds of Buffalo Bills fans:
27. Buffalo Bills
Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Alabama
The Bills might have vacancies on the defensive side of the ball, depending on how free agency plays out for linebacker Tremaine Edmunds and safety Jordan Poyer.
