Buffalo Bills NFL draft picks 2024: Full list of team's round-by-round selections
Here is a 2024 NFL draft pick-by-pick breakdown for the 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 – particularly with contested catches. 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. Draft tracker
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. Draft tracker
Round 3 (95, from Chiefs) — DeWayne Carter, DT, Duke: Three-time team captain might be better on passing downs to start but should settle in as starter down line. Draft tracker
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. Draft tracker
Round 5 (141, from Giants through Panthers) — Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia: A glue guy who started every game the past three seasons for a Georgia team that went 42-2 during that stretch with two national titles. A captain of the offense from his center position on a line that included 2023 first-round pick Broderick Jones and projected 2024 first-rounder Amarius Mims. Draft tracker
Round 5 (160, from Packers) — Edefuan Ulofoshio, LB, Washington: Buffalo suffered numerous injuries to its linebacking group down the stretch in 2023 and Ulofoshio boosts that position. He'll turn 25 in January, meaning his potential may be capped in the NFL, but the player he is now is an impressive athlete at the position. That athleticism and instincts could make him an ideal backup or spot starter at the position for the Bills. Draft tracker
Round 5 (168, compensatory selection from Saints through Packers) — Javon Solomon, DE, Troy: His production's undeniable with 16.0 sacks in 2023 and 32.5 in his college career. He's on the smaller side at 6 feet tall and 246 pounds but his speed off the edge is ideal. He's struggled against bigger blockers before but could work in as a rotational piece for the Bills, making for great value in the end of Round 5. Draft tracker
Round 6 (204) — Tylan Grable, OT, UCF: Buffalo's shoring up the offensive line even more in Round 6 with the developmental Grable. He started the last two years at left tackle after entering college as a tight end. His upward trajectory is promising and his solid athleticism provides the foundation for a swing tackle down the line. Draft tracker
Round 6 (219, compensatory selection from Packers) — Daequan Hardy, CB, Penn State: Buffalo picks up a smaller corner with speed who can run with most any wide receiver he'll face. He could become a future slot defender thanks to his athleticism and ball production (5 interceptions, 25 passes defensed in college). If anything, his return potential is very good and could fill that role in Buffalo as a rookie. Draft tracker
Round 7 (221, from Panthers through Titans and Chiefs) — Travis Clayton, G, International Pathway Program: Can't fault the Bills for using their final pick of the draft on an athletic marvel from the NFL's International Pathway Program. Clayton played soccer and rugby overseas. He's a developmental player who posted and incredible 4.79 40-yard dash time at 6-7 and 307 pounds. Draft tracker
