Buffalo Bills Mock Draft: Kayden McDonald to Strengthen Defense

0:00On April 7th, the Buffalo Bill stepped into off-season workouts with some clear gaps, even after grabbing wide receiver DJ Moore and pass rusher. Bradley Chubb in Free Agency. ESPN's Peter Schreger just dropped a fresh mock draft, sending Ohio State defensive tackle Kate and McDonald to Buffalo at pick number 26 in the first round. They beefed up the receiving group in Edd Rush, but depth is thinned behind Chubb and Greg Russo. My backer and defensive tackle spots scream for help too since they let Shaq Thompson, Mammalano and Daquan Jones walk without resigning them. Fans and analysts see those holes popping up everywhere in Mox, especially with Buffalo's defense ranking 30th against the run last year, coughing up 5.1 yards per carry. Adding a big body up front could flip that script quick. McDonald, a 6 foot 2 326 pound beast, stepped up big as a full-time starter with 65 tackles, 9 for loss, and 3 sacks.

1:00Scouts love his run-stuffing knack, natural leverage, and how he hunts down ball carriers even if his pass rush needs work. This pick might stretch a bit high right now, but the first round buzz around McDonald fits Buffalo's blueprint perfectly, shoring up the middle end, turning that weak run D into a strength heading into the draft.
