10. player. 16. All’s well that ends well with the Buffalo Bills when it comes to QB Tyrod Taylor staying with the team. So they will have their QB to continue to try to build around for the foreseeable future. They already have plenty there with RB LeSean McCoy, WR Sammy Watkins and a solid O-line. <p>As far as the defense goes, it looks like ILB Zach Brown isn’t going to be a Bill when next season starts. But they have 2016 second-round ILB Reggie Ragland to possibly take his place. Lorenzo Alexander will likely move to DE from his OLB spot as the Bills switch from a 3-4 to a 4-3.</p> <p>They just lost CB Stephon Gilmore in free agency and let S Aaron Williams go after his neck injury. So it would probably be best for the Bills to start building their secondary back up. But they can easily get solid starters from the second round to the fourth in this deep secondary class.</p> <p>So here at No. 10 overall, the Bills select TE O.J. Howard, a rare talent to go with Watkins in the passing game. They know what it’s like to go against such a weapon as they play Rob Gronkowski twice a year. Now they have one of their own to go against the Patriots defense.<br /> </p>. TE. Michigan. O.J. Howard
