BUFFALO BILLS
Round 2 (No. 33 overall, from Panthers) — Keon Coleman, WR, Florida State: If not for a 4.6 40 time at the scouting combine, the All-ACC selection probably would have easily been a first-rounder. But his game speed seems to belie his timed speed, and his size (6-3, 213) is also an asset. And with the departures of WRs Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis, Coleman could quickly emerge as WR1, albeit for a passing game that could be dominated by tight ends.
Round 2 (60) — Cole Bishop, S, Utah: Buffalo goes to the back line after breaking up its Jordan Poyer/Micah Hyde tandem. Bishop can be a disruptor whether defending the pass or run.
Round 3 (95, from Chiefs) — DeWayne Carter, DT, Duke: Three-time captain might be better on passing downs to start; should settle in as starter.
Round 4 (128) — Ray Davis, RB, Kentucky: Buffalo adds some depth behind starter James Cook with Davis. A physical back despite standing 5 feet, 8 inches, Davis flashed his skills in the passing game in 2023 as well. Davis does have a lot of tread on the tires with more than 800 total touches in college, lacks long speed, and will turn 25 as a rookie, all knocks for a pick at this spot.
Round 5 (141, from Giants through Panthers) — Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia: He started every game the past three seasons for a Georgia team that went 42-2 during that stretch.
Round 5 (160, from Packers) — Edefuan Ulofoshio, LB, Washington: His athleticism and instincts could make him an ideal backup or spot starter.
Round 5 (168, compensatory selection from Saints through Packers) — Javon Solomon, DE, Troy: He’s on the smaller side at 6 feet tall and 246 pounds but his speed off the edge is ideal.
Round 6 (204) — Tylan Grable, OT, UCF: His solid athleticism provides the foundation for a swing tackle.
Round 6 (219, compensatory selection from Packers) — Daequan Hardy, CB, Penn State: Could be a future slot defender with athleticism, ball production.
Round 7 (221, from Panthers through Titans and Chiefs) — Travis Clayton, G, International Pathway Program: Developmental player who posted a 4.79 40 time at 6-7 and 307 pounds.
