2014 NFL Mock Draft: Jake Matthews to the Buffalo Bills

Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M

Buffalo would be overjoyed to have to make the difficult choice between Texas A&M teammates, Jake Matthews and Mike Evans. I am a big fan of Evans and hope the Eagles figure out a way to move up to draft him, so I tried to be objective in comparing the two. Upon further review it wasn't as close as I had originally thought.

Matthews has literally no weaknesses as a prospect. He has the size, footwork, technique, is a film study junkie, and has a bit of a mean streak. Throw in the fact that he is nearly a clone of his Hall of Fame father, Bruce Matthews, who was a 14 time Pro Bowl player. Not only was Jake the best player available he also fills a need that the Bills have at Right Tackle. Factor in the fact that an Offensive Tackle is critical to every offensive play, whereas a Wide Receiver really only factors in on some pass plays, makes this pick a slam dunk.
