A round-up of the latest NFL Mock Draft predictions from analysts on who the Bills will draft with the 30th overall pick:
February 3: NFL.com, Lance Zierlein
No. 30 – WR Tre Harris, Ole Miss
Harris has excellent build-up speed to give Josh Allen a vertical threat, but he is also an extremely physical runner after the catch. The Bills could use a big-play threat outside, and Harris is a talented option.
February 3: ESPN.com, Matt Miller
No. 30 – S Nick Emmanwori, South Carolina
Getting more skill-position options for quarterback Josh Allen will be a heavy consideration for Buffalo after it fell short of the Super Bowl again, but it also has to address a secondary that is too often out of place. Emmanwori is a player scouts rave about once they see him in person. At 6-foot-3 and 227 pounds, he has rare speed and range at deep safety, with the power to charge downhill and erase running backs or mobile quarterbacks. He had four interceptions, including one pick-six, and allowed a QBR of just 28.6 this past season.
No. 30 – DT Kenneth Grant, Michigan
I'm sure the Bills will look hard at the cornerback options, too, but they also need reinforcements up front. Grant is a massive body who can be groomed to eventually take DaQuan Jones' spot.
TRADE No. 30 to MINNESOTA for No. 24 – WR Luther Burden III, Missouri
Trade! The Bills jump up to get Burden, who may be a steal at this point in the draft. The Bills could use another wide receiver to make life easier for Josh Allen and they get another quality target here.
No. 30 – DL Kenneth Grant, Michigan
The Bills add serious width with 330-plus-pound Kenneth Grant who plays with light feet and respectable upfield rush ability.
No. 30 – Edge JT Tuimoloau, Ohio State
The Bills' blue-collar culture makes this Ohio State product a perfect fit. JTT's a rugged edge player with upside as a pass rusher.
No. 30 – DL Nic Scourton, Texas A&M
Nic Scourton is a diverse talent who can play as a physical edge setter in run defense but also provides some refined pass rush ability with his array of counters. He did not explode this season as some expected after transferring into Texas A&M, but his versatility should be considered a strength and asset Buffalo could welcome on their edge.
No. 30 – CB Shavon Revel, East Carolina
Shavon Revel is recovering from a torn ACL but owned a 92.7 PFF grade in single coverage over the past two seasons to rank in the 100th percentile for FBS cornerbacks.
No. 30 – DT Walter Nolen, Ole Miss
With this pick, I believe they work to get better in the trenches and draft IDL Walter Nolen. Nolen has experience playing in multiple different schemes and possesses the natural power to hold up in the run game. He also has high-level flashes as a pass rusher.
No. 30 – DT Derrick Harmon, Oregon
Harmon is a very disruptive player at a deep position in this year's class. He could fill a void with Austin Johnson among the Bills defensive linemen due to hit free agency this offseason.
No. 30 – CB Maxwell Hairston, Kentucky
Drafting another wide receiver should be considered, and the defensive line could use reinforcements. But the cornerback spot jumps out. Buffalo allowed opponent QBs to complete 68.5% of their passes, 28th in the league, and Rasul Douglas is on an expiring deal. Hairston is a pro-ready prospect. His awareness, burst to the ball and route-recognition skills are top-notch. Hairston was a little banged-up this season, as a shoulder injury limited him to seven games and one interception. But he had five picks the previous year, showing his ball skills.
