Trey Sermon came on strong for the Ohio State Buckeyes towards the end of the college football season. The Buffalo Bills are looking for every down back and Trey Sermon can be that running back for the Bills. Sermon had shoulder surgery early in the national championship and that changed the whole trajectory for the Buckeyes. The Bills will get a boost in the running back position by drafting Trey Sermon in the third-round.


Fifth-Round 161st overall pick: Buffalo Bills select WR Seth Williams - Auburn

Seth Williams has the skill set to fit into any offensive scheme in the NFL. He's a natural pass catcher and isn't afraid of catching the football going into the heart of the defense. The Buffalo Bills will be getting a wide receiver that will be an immediate red zone threat.


Fifth-Round 174th overall pick: Buffalo Bills select OT Walker Little - Stanford

Stanford OT Walker Little

The Buffalo Bills will be receiving an offensive tackle that has excellent length and an NFL build. Walker Little has excellent range and is a tremendous pass blocker. The Buffalo Bills are a great fit for the former Stanford offensive tackle. Once Little gets his hands on defenders in pass blocking he usually wins the battle.


Sixth-Round 213th overall pick: Buffalo Bills select IDL Bobby Brown III - Texas A&M

Outside of finding offensive weapons, the Buffalo Bills are looking to beef up their defensive line as well. Bobby Brown III is built like a house and is a tremendous run stopper. He has the ability to disrupt both the run and pass game with his strength alone. Brown's presence in the middle of the defensive line will be a big boost. The Bills will be receiving an instant contributor upfront.


Seventh-Round 236th overall pick: Buffalo Bills select LB Justin Hilliard - Ohio State

Ohio State LB Justin Hilliard

Justin Hilliard is one of the many Ohio State linebackers in this year's draft. The Bills aren't necessarily keen to get a linebacker and Hilliard is more of a developmental linebacker anyway. Buffalo might end their 2021 NFL Draft by selecting former Ohio State linebacker Justin Hilliard.
