We're nearing the end of the 2024 NFL Draft and in the sixth round, with the 204th pick, the Bills added another offensive lineman to their ranks, tackle Tylan Grable. Buffalo has two picks remaining in this draft, but they continue to bolster their offensive line depth. Grable is the second lineman drafted, joining previously drafted Sedric Van Pran-Granger. Grable has his shortcomings, as you would expect with guys coming out of the sixth round, but he has talent and could develop into a solid depth piece at the tackle positions for the Bills.
With this late pick by Brandon Beane and the Bills, here is what Bills Mafia is saying about the 204th overall pick.
Tylan Grable is exactly the type of prospect you take at this point in the draft. He's only played OL for four years and he's shown plenty of promise.

Grable was a HS QB. He went from QB to TE to OL and is now drafted by the #Bills.
Grable spent time at Jacksonville State…
This is 100 percent accurate. The hope is that offensive line coach Aaron Kromer can develop Grable and build a solid career. That said, I recall a former Bills left tackle who was also a tight end to start his career and went on to become one of the best tackles in the league, Jason Peters.
Tylan Grable was drafted in round 6 pick 204 in the 2024 draft class. He scored a 9.85 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 21 out of 1377 OT from 1987 to 2024. https://t.co/YadDqepOFa pic.twitter.com/1GRrmXxfOu

It seems that Beane covets athleticism and production, as several players he's drafted have high marks in both areas.

It will be fun watching this kid's career.
Have a hard time seeing Tylan Grable make the #Bills 53 man roster in 2024… great developmental tools for the practice squad though. The early start on priority free agency is underway. #BillsMafia

One concern is if he winds up on the practice squad, which is likely, would another team steal him away?
