Bills Defense Gets Major Boost in Ideal NFL Mock Draft Scenario
The NFL Draft is finally here, Bills Mafia! As the Buffalo Bills prepare for this pivotal three-day event, all eyes are on general manager Brandon Beane to find the next wave of talent that could help bring a Lombardi Trophy to Orchard Park. While Beane has uncovered gems in past drafts (along with some misses), his willingness to take calculated risks keeps Buffalo’s roster competitive year after year.
Holding the 30th overall pick, the Bills are in prime position to let the draft come to them—but don’t rule out a trade. In a recent four-round mock draft from NFL Spin Zone’s Sayre Bedinger, Buffalo lands a perfect defensive fit: Michigan DT Kenneth Grant. At 330 pounds with rare athleticism, Grant would immediately bolster a run defense that struggled mightily last season.
“Grant moves like he’s 250 pounds,” Bedinger notes. “He’s dominant at the point of attack and would upgrade any team’s run defense from Day 1.” With Ed Oliver and DaQuan Jones as mentors, Grant could thrive while helping offset the six-game suspensions looming for Larry Ogunjobi and Michael Hoecht.
While cornerback remains a pressing need, a talent like Grant might be too good to pass up. His presence would solidify Buffalo’s defensive line for years—a critical foundation for a team that wants to control the trenches.
As the draft approaches, one thing is clear: The Bills are focused on building a championship-caliber defense. Whether through Grant or another prospect, expect Beane to make moves that keep Buffalo in Super Bowl contention.
