I believe he can penetrate and anchor.  Here is a draft writeup on him: 

 

"Domonique Orange, nicknamed "Big Citrus", is the ideal nose tackle prototype. He's 6'2", 328 pounds, with near-34" levers for arms. He can play with natural leverage and attack opposing linemen with power in the pass game, and he can latch, anchor, and limit displacement against run blocks. Naturally, he's not an elite disruptor 1-on-1, but Orange makes his money by being an immovable mass at the fulcrum. He can two-gap while stationary or while on the move against zone blocks, he can stack and shed, and he has surprising pursuit range and a relentless motor. For odd and hybrid-front schemes, Orange can be a definite force multiplier and early-down gap enforcer. He frees up other players to make plays, and has measured playmaking value of his own."

The only negative word that I heard more than once was Raw.

I don't try to do mock drafts as a rule.  Instead, I'm constantly checking out mock drafts on the internet.  Most can be found at NFL Mock Draft Database.  What I'm noticing is consensus is nowhere to be found.  In the mocks posted today, every one has a different first round pick for the Bills: Peter Wood, CJ Allen, TJ  Parker and Denzel Boston.  No name appears more than once for the  Bills.  Some days, multiple mocks will project KC Concepcion, but as draft season moves on, there seems to be less certainty.  Concepcion played a lot of slot in college, and that is the receiver position for the Bills that is not really a need given the presence of Khalil Shakir.  Yes, Concepcion has lined up at other WR spots and has been effective, but do the Bills really want to draft a player who end up playing most of the time at a spot different from his college home spot.

It will be tougher than usual to figure out who the Bills will draft this year, because we won't know the tendencies of what types of players the new coach will want to bring in, but here is my first stab at it.....

 

Feel free to add your Mock Drafts here!!

 

Moved up a little in the 1st to secure a top WR prospect:

 

21.   KC Concepcion WR Texas A&M

 

60.  A.J. Haulcy S LSU

 

91.   Domonique Orange DT Iowa State

 

126.  Aiden Fisher LB Indiana

This original post is huge miss but a valiant attempt.  Shake out with the new coaching staff, assessing who they have, who they will resign is the big first step is getting a gauge on the holes on the roster.  FA will fill needs.  Mid tier WR  and LB talent where I would guess they would go.  Draft can and maybe a curve ball first round selection.  Thanks for starting the debate.

There’s no consensus because the so called experts are just as bored this time of year as everyone else…so they just throw stuff at the wall to see if people will click on it.

I am going to the combine to get a closer look at WR and DE/OLB talent.  They have the tape and seeing them in person solidifies slotting of the players.  Mock drafts are a waste after the top 10 picks.  Expect trades this year more than last years.

I dint know if its out of date but im seeing CJ Allen a boatload from reputable places, including Dan Jeremiah.

Yeah, at times CJ Allen seems like a popular pick for the Bills.  There does seem to be something of a wave pattern in published mock drafts.   There will tend to be a wave of mock drafts where a certain player becomes a popular pick for a given team, followed be a wave for a different player, then maybe a wave where no player dominates.  Then a wave where a previously popular pick becomes popular again.  I think to some extent, some mock drafters are influenced by other mock drafters.

Yea Allen is an interesting one. Productive, good character player, which is saying something at Georgia , A little undersized height wise . Tape is good , how is he as an athlete? Combine will be important. I could see him slipping to round 2

This is very accurate as it comes to influence. I don’t look at em for the most part while I’m reviewing film and putting my grades together for that exact reason. Allen does make sense but so do a lot of players at the Bills selection. We could go in a ton of directions at 26 from WR, OG, DE, DT, LB, or S.

This is the draft to nail together a really good Dline. Take 2 swings at DT even with a FA.

Should we even bother with wide receivers and protection for Josh? Probably not. These are picks we can use to also bolster up the secondary and linebackers.

Excellent!!! Also if the OL thins out he should block for himself as well.

Well unless a round 1 worthy (pun intended)  WR slides....which I doubt, we should be able to pick up a day starter at DT right off the bat and there's Safeties up the ying yang too.

I trust we'll get at least 1 above average WR in FA,  so unless  one slides to within a pick or two, wait.

[RyanC883]

I like this one.  Get Crosby, Thomas, a pass coverage S, LB, and DI with good grades against the run and pass.  Will need another S in FA as well as OL.  But we upgraded the amount of elite talent with Crosby, and perhaps Thomas as well.

Like it but those WR’s are big body guys who rely on physicality rather than speed to win downfield. Not much vertically other than contested or box out catches. 

[Special K]

26.  Denzel Boston WR Washington

 

60.  Jake Golday LB Cincinnati

 

91.  Domonique Orange DT Iowa State

 

126.  Dontay Corleone DT Cincinnati

It will be very interesting to see their combines/pro days..
