BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – The first round of the NFL Draft is just a week away. The Bills will have a few hours of waiting before they’re due up at the 30th pick.
Who could fall to the Bills at the end of the first round? Our Buffalo Kickoff Live team went through a mock draft scenario Thursday to see what options that could be available to the Bills.
Our mock draft went through the first round team by team, assuming no trades. When it got to the Bills at 30, each selector made a pick for the Bills. (If you want to jump right to the Bills selection, go to the 44 minute mark.)
The BKL crew for this show included: WIVB News 4’s Sports Director Josh Reed, sports anchor/reporter Carl Jones, and sports producer Mike Courtney, along with Sal Capaccio from WGR 550 and Tim Graham from The Athletic.
