6 defensive linemen Buffalo Bills should target after NFL Combine
There is no secret that the Buffalo Bills need firepower on offense after what happened in the playoffs in 2023. For that reason, it's the general consensus of Bills Mafia that the Bills will draft a wide receiver at least within the first 3 rounds.
Ever since they drafted Josh Allen in 2018, they have neglected drafting that position within the first two days (that is if you want to exclude using a 1st round draft pick to acquire Stefon Diggs). With that being said, the Bills did bring in free agents Curtis Samuel and Mack Hollins to soften the blow of losing Gabe Davis, Trent Sherfield, and Deonte Harty.
As much as the offense was to blame, the defense was also a key part of the Bills losing in the playoffs. Even though the Bills were lining up a basically retired A.J. Klein and Dorian Williams to cover Travis Kelce, that was not the sole reason they lost. The unit that was mostly healthy was the defensive line, and they could not get anywhere close to Patrick Mahomes. That is why they need to keep investing in the defensive line, much to the chagrin of us fans.
It helps they brought back Daquan Jones and A.J. Epenesa, but they need more bodies to help fill out the line. Here are 6 draft prospects that could help out, not just with this year, but down the line as they develop and learn in this system.
