If Taylor is going to have a legitimate shot at becoming Buffalo’s long-term solution at quarterback, he needs protection.  Jack Conklin from Michigan State is a valuable talent to add to the roster, and can give Taylor the protection he needs to showcase his throwing more than his running.

The Bills will be looking to add defense, but with depth at many defensive positions, Conklin is an enticing option for Buffalo to add at #19.
