As we await the Titans being on the clock with the first overall pick, check out our final Mock Draft Watch.
No. 30 – CB Trey Amos, Ole Miss
I wouldn't rule out a defensive tackle here, but the Bills need to add a cornerback with one of their early picks. Amos has the ability to match up with big, physical receivers.
No. 30 – S Malaki Starks, Georgia
I planned to mock cornerback Trey Amos to the Bills, but Starks was the best player available at this spot. He'd immediately upgrade the safety position in Buffalo.
No. 30 - S Malaki Starks, Georgia
Starks played safety and nickel corner for the Bulldogs, and he'd make an immediate impact for Buffalo. Starks is all ball and one of the safest prospects in this draft.
No. 30 – EDGE James Pearce Jr., Tennessee
What Cris says: "I could see a cornerback like Benjamin Morrison, Shavon Revel or Trey Amos here, but I think there are question marks for all of them. Pearce can create some more pressure off the edge for them, though I do worry about him a little bit as a run defender."
Bottom line from PFF's 2025 NFL Draft Guide: Pearce is the kind of athlete with the production and disruption scores you don't let out of the first round. His twitchy movements show difference-making NFL traits that can be situational at worst and All-Pro at best.
No. 30 – CB Maxwell Hairston, Kentucky
The Bills always field a top defense, and they might want to be more aggressive in man coverage in 2025. If that's the case, the selection of "Mad Max" would be ideal for head coach Sean McDermott and defensive coordinator Bobby Babich.
No. 30 – CB Trey Amos, Ole Miss
Buffalo has been connected to multiple defensive tackles in the draft process, but sources pointedly said the team likes Amos more than the defensive tackles who would be on the board. "It's a deep DT class," one scout said. "Buffalo can get a nose tackle in Round 2 or 3."
No. 30 – CB Trey Amos, Ole Miss
They need help opposite Christian Benford, and Amos has been a rising name throughout the process. In his one season at Ole Miss, he recorded 15 pass breakups—the second-most in the FBS. Maxwell Hairston could also be in consideration here.
No. 30 – CB Trey Amos, Ole Miss
There are Tre'Davious White vibes to Amos, a box-checker from the SEC at the cornerback position.
No. 30 – CB Jahdae Barron, Texas
After working the phones for much of the draft for a potential trade-down, the Bills couldn't look at a gift of Barron making it to No. 30 and not take advantage. Most projections have him going within the top 15. Barron would become a potential day one starter at boundary cornerback, having the plus instincts and ball skills perfectly suited to their zone scheme and being a tenacious run defender.
He's a little smaller than the Bills typically go for at boundary cornerback, but they were high on the similarly statured Trent McDuffie in 2022 before the Chiefs swooped in to take him. Barron's skill set in Buffalo's defense transcends any height or length concerns while also allowing for some personnel creativity. — Joe Buscaglia
No. 30 – CB Trey Amos, Ole Miss
The Bills bolster their cornerback group. Amos brings size and ball-hawking instincts to the position, giving the team some much-needed playmaking talent in the back end. He should compete to start right away.
No. 30 – DT Derrick Harmon, Oregon
The Bills have the luxury of two second-round draft choices to react to the rest of the board early in this draft.
That leaves the pick at No. 30 to be a value add, not just a need selection. Harmon fits both, however, and would be a great addition to a revamped Bills defensive line this offseason.
No. 30 – DT Kenneth Grant, Michigan
Buffalo's depth chart features plenty of pass-rushing talent; the 6-foot-4, 331-pound Grant's presence up front could help shore up a run defense that ranked 19th in the NFL in yards allowed per rush attempt in 2024.
