We've got one last edition of the Mock Draft Tracker left. Before we release that, we wanted to look back at the 124 mock drafts we've tracked so far and highlight the most mocked players and positions for Buffalo in the first round.

We started tracking mock drafts at the end of January and since then there's been a clear favorite.

Michigan defensive tackle Kenneth Grant has been mocked to the Bills at No. 30 consistently since the beginning of the year. Grant has been mocked to Buffalo 22 total times.

Here's where the DT stacks up against the rest.

FAVORITE PLAYERS MOCKED TO BUFFALO AT NO. 30:

1. DT Kenneth Grant, Michigan – 22

2. CB Maxwell Hairston, Kentucky – 12

T-3. DT Derrick Harmon, Oregon – 9

T-3. CB Trey Amos, Ole Miss – 9

T-5. DT Walter Nolen, Ole Miss – 7

T-5. S Nick Emmanwori, South Carolina – 7

T-5. CB Shavon Revel Jr., East Carolina - 7

When it comes to favorite position groups mocked to Buffalo, like Grant, defensive line is at the top of the list. Defensive linemen were mocked to Buffalo 57 total times (46%). If you break it up between defensive tackle and edge rusher, defensive tackle was the most popular position.

Here's where the position compares to the rest.

1. Defensive tackle – 42 (34%)

2. Cornerback – 41 (33%)
