The Mighty O’Ba Sports Report: Bills Draft 2024
By Pat Freeman, The Mighty O’Ba
The Buffalo Bills completed one of their most challenging drafts of the McDermott/Beane tenure with what I believe could be one of their best. Now I know many of you are saying O’ba, how can you say such a thing? The reason I say this is based on looking at the overall picture and the strength of the Bills brass in the later rounds and their accumulated thirteen picks in the 2025 draft, which gives the Bills the draft capital to go after players that they have targeted high on their board.
Let us look at who the Bills drafted this year:
Round 2: WR Keon Coleman, Florida State, No. 33 overall (from Panthers)
Round 2: S Cole Bishop, Utah, No. 60
Round 3: DT DeWayne Carter, Duke, No. 95 (from Chiefs)
Round 4: RB Ray Davis, Kentucky, No. 128
Round 5: C/G Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, Georgia, No. 141 (from Panthers)
Round 5: LB Edefuan Ulofoshio, Washington, No. 160 (from Packers)
Round 5: DE Javon Solomon, Troy, No. 168
Round 6: T Tylan Grable, UCF, No. 204
Round 6: CB Daequan Hardy, Penn State, No. 219 Round 7: G Travis Clayton, International Player Path way, No. 221 (from Chiefs)
When you know you are coming out of a four-year run to achieve a championship, I believe that this organization has positioned itself to still be a competitive organization for years to come. McDermott/Beane just need to shore up some areas on the team as far as in game coaching decisions and this team should be right back in the thick of things again.
The next couple of years should still be good years here in Western New York based on what I have seen thus far this off season.
