The Buffalo Bills could go a number of different directions with their first pick in the 2025 NFL draft, and the latest mock draft predictions<\/a> showcase that uncertainty. There are no fewer than four different positions general manager Brandon Beane<\/a> could target at No. 30.<\/p>\n

Buffalo, led by MVP quarterback Josh Allen<\/a>, has a wide open championship window. Although the Bills are riding a six-year playoff streak, they’re still searching for the franchise’s first Super Bowl appearance since 1993. They’ve never won a Super Bowl title.<\/p>\n

In turn, the Bills are likely to lean toward NFL-ready prospects, especially in the early rounds. They need instant-impact players, even if their ceiling isn’t as high, rather than boom-or-bust developmental projects. They’ll also likely lean toward a best-player-available approach given the various roster needs on both sides of the ball.<\/p>\n

2025 Bills Mock Draft Roundup: Who Will Buffalo Take at No. 30?<\/h2>\n

The Athletic: Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan<\/h3>\n

Pick Projected By: Nick Baumgardner<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

We’ll start here because Grant is undoubtedly the best fit in the draft class. The Bills desperately need a run-stuffing, space-eating defensive tackle. It would do wonders in helping the smaller, more agile Ed Oliver thrive against single-blocker looks. He’s struggled against double teams.<\/p>\n

There are legitimate questions<\/a> about the Wolverines standout’s motor. An interior player with his combination of size (6’4”), strength, and athleticism should be unstoppable. He dominated at times for Michigan, but there were also a lot of underwhelming snaps.<\/p>\n

Yet, if Grant played at his peak level in college, there’s no way he’d be available at No. 30. He’d be a lock to land inside the top 10. So, the Bills would be taking on some risk in order to land a potential game-changing defensive lineman late in the first round.<\/p>\n
