USA Today’s Draft Wire sees the Bills adding to their secondary in the organization’s post-Super Bowl mock draft.
The latest mock draft has Buffalo selecting South Carolina safety Nick Emmanwori with the 30th overall pick.
Emmanwori has earned a slew of honors in the 2024 season. Emmanwori was named an All-American by several outlets, including the Associated Press and the Sporting News. In addition, the junior was a unanimous All-SEC selection.
Emmanwori was a finalist for the Blanchard-Rogers Trophy, an award for the best player from South Carolina. The defensive back earned semifinalist status for the Jim Thorpe Award and a quarterfinalist for the Lott IMPACT Award.
The South Carolina product recorded 88 total tackles and four interceptions in his junior season. He returned two interceptions for touchdowns.
Curt Popejoy of Draft Wire highlights how Emmanwori will fit in with the Bills, writing:
The Bills love active, physical safeties and Emmanwori is a hybrid player who can do a little of everything.
Buffalo may need some reinforcements in the secondary. Demar Hamlin is a free agent this offseason. Currently, the Bills have Taylor Rapp and Cole Bishop as the only safeties under contract for next year.
