When the NFL Draft got underway Thursday night, the Buffalo Bills began the three-day process with only six picks, one in each of the first six rounds and none in the seventh.

That changed when general manager Brandon Beane traded up in the first round to select Utah tight end Dalton Kincaid. In return, he sent Jacksonville the 27th pick in the first round and the Bills fourth-round pick. Across his previous five Bills’ drafts Beane executed eight trades including one in 2018 that helped position him to select quarterback Josh Allen, and another that sent the 2020 first-round pick to Minnesota for wide receiver Stefon Diggs.

Buffalo selected Florida guard O'Cyrus Torrence in the second round (No. 59 overall) and took Tulane linebacker Dorian Williams in the third round (No. 91 overall).

The third day is underway and thanks to a trade with the Commanders, the Bills now have three picks on Saturday, No. 150 (fifth round), No. 205 and No. 215 (sixth round).

Follow below for all of the Bills' picks:

First Round

No. 25: Dalton Kincaid, tight end, Utah

Buffalo traded up to get Josh Allen another pass-catching weapon on offense. The Bills originally had the No. 27 pick but moved up two spots, and leapfrogged the Dallas Cowboys who needed a tight end, to select Utah tight end Dalton Kincaid. He was the first tight end selected.

Kincaid was a high school basketball star who only played one year of high school football. He walked on at University of San Diego, where he caught 19 touchdowns in two seasons. Kincaid transferred to Utah. He had 36 catches for 510 yards and eight touchdowns in 2021 and followed it with 70 receptions to lead FBS tight ends for 890 yards and eight touchdowns in 2022.

Kincaid is a smooth route runner and elite receiver who wins contested balls. Buffalo can pair him with Dawson Knox.

The Bills sent their first round pick (No. 27) and its fourth-round pick (No. 130) to jump to No. 25.

Second Round

No. 59: O'Cyrus Torrence, guard, Florida

O'Cyrus Torrence did not give up a sack in his career.

Buffalo added a bully to its offensive line. The 6-foot-5, 330-pound Torrence has a ton of experience and was an instant starter as a freshman at the University of Louisiana. He spent three years with the Ragin' Cajuns, where he was named first-team All-Sun Belt Conference as a junior, and transferred to Florida for his senior season. Torrence was a first-team All-American and first-team All-SEC at right guard with the Gators.

Torrence fills one of the Bills' biggest needs and could push Ryan Bates to start in Week 1.

Third Round

No. 91: Dorian Williams, linebacker, Tulane

The Bills needed a linebacker after the departure of Tremaine Edmunds' in free agency, but Dorian Williams does not figure to be his replacement now, or perhaps ever. Beane indicated the Williams is an outside linebacker who will compete to be Matt Milano's backup and play special teams.

He is a cerebral stat stuffer and, as Beane called him, "a tackling machine." He was ninth in the FBS with 131 tackles in 2022 while adding 8.5 tackles for loss, five sacks, two interceptions, seven pass breakups and two forced fumbles.

Fourth Round

No pick. Buffalo traded its fourth-round pick, No. 130 overall, to the Jacksonville Jaguars, in order to move up in the first round to pick Kincaid.

Fifth Round

No. 150: Justin Shorter, wide receiver, Florida

Shorter, who certainly isn't short at 6-foot-4, began his college career at Penn State before transferring to Florida where he played his final three seasons. He also weighs 229 pounds so he's the biggest receiver on the Bills roster.

For his career he caught 110 passes for 1,552 yards and eight touchdowns. As a high school player in New Jersey, he was a five-star recruit and was the No. 1 wide receiver in the 2018 recruiting class (ahead of current NFL stars Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jaylen Waddle and Ja’Marr Chase) and the No. 8 recruit overall.

But he never really found his niche for Penn State and entered the portal after the 2019 season, landing with the Gators. He ran the 40 in 4.55 seconds at the combine.

“Shorter is a one-speed runner with predictable route running, but his height/weight/speed mix is uncommon, and his ball-winning potential will tantalize NFL teams.," The Athletic's Dane Brugler wrote. "His fit as a back-end-of-the-roster receiver makes him worth the risk.”

Sixth Round

At one point the Bills had pick Nos. 205 (their own) and No. 215 (via a trade with the Commanders). But both of those were dealt away so the Bills ended up not making a sixth-round pick.

Seventh Round

No. 230: Nick Broeker, guard, Mississippi

The Bills used the 205th pick, which was their original spot in the sixth round, to trade down to this position and they acquired a sixth-round pick in 2024. Broeker played in 48 games for the Rebels and made 23 starts at left tackle and 13 at left guard. He was a 2022 second-team All-America selection and first-team All-SEC as he did not allow a sack in 472 pass block plays.

For a Buffalo connection, he was the winner of the Kent Hull trophy for best offensive lineman in the state of Mississippi, an award named after the late Bills center from their Super Bowl years.

No. 252: Alex Austin, cornerback, Oregon State

This pick was a result of a trade with the Rams as the Bills shipped the 215th pick in exchange for this and a sixth-round pick in 2024. Austin was a three-year starter for the Beavers where he made 140 tackles and four interceptions.

The Bills will give him a chance to make it as a special teamer, but his likely destination if he's still here in September is the practice squad.
