Keon Coleman of Florida State provides the Buffalo Bills with a reliable WR2 option behind Stefon Diggs in the team’s 5-round mock draft.

• WR Keon Coleman, Florida State, Round 1, Pick 14 With the build and play style of a true alpha X receiver, Coleman, who stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 215 pounds, has made some of the most spectacular challenged catches in college football this season.

• Pick 46, Round 2: Edge Alabama’s Chris Braswell — In 2023, the 6-foot-3, 255-pound senior had a stellar career year, leading the Tide in total pressures with 54 and earning an 88.6 pass-rush rating.

There’s a good chance the Buffalo Bills will qualify for the postseason this year. However, given that they entered the postseason with 13 victories in two of the previous three seasons, their current 6-6 record indicates that they are not performing up to their typical level.

Here is a five-round 2024 Buffalo Bills mock draft, including a few spots on the squad that may see some significant changes this offseason

Round 1, Pick 14: Florida State’s WR Kenon Coleman
Buffalo is picking up a very hard lesson: with Stefon Diggs as their top wide receiver, they do not have a real WR2. Dalton Kincaid, the tight end they selected in the first round of last year’s draft, will continue to play a significant role in their passing attack, but the team still needs an outside receiver.

With the build and play style of a true alpha X receiver, Coleman, who stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 215 pounds, has made some of the most spectacular challenged catches in college football this season.

His position on teams’ boards may be all over the place because of his occasional inability to consistently create separation, but his skill set enhances what the Bills currently have.

Pick 46 (Round 2): Edge Chris Brassel, Alabama
Braswell joined Alabama’s defensive line as more of a defensive end when he first arrived on college and has since developed into an edge defender. In 2023, the 6-foot-3, 255-pound senior had a stellar career year, leading the Tide in total pressures with 54 and earning an 88.6 pass-rush rating.

Round 3, Pick 99: OHIO STATE’S DI TYLEIK WILLIAMS
This past season with the Buckeyes, Williams—a former four-star defensive line recruit—really came into his own. 330 pounds was his listed weight as a recruit, and during his freshman season, he gained a lot more weight—360 pounds, to be exact. Williams acknowledges that he became more focused, dropped to 310-320, and went on to play some of his greatest ball as a collegiate player.

In addition to 24 defensive stops in run defense this season, he has collected a career-high 22 pressures overall.

PICK 114, ROUND 4: S Maryland’s Beau Brade
In a year, the Bills’ safety room might seem very different. Micah Hyde, who turns 33 next season, is a pending free agency. To free up contract space, the 32-year-old Jordan Poyer might be removed in the interim.

The Bills need to find some young for the back end of their secondary, whether one or both of those players depart. At six feet one inch and two hundred and fifty pounds, Brade excels as a strong safety over the middle and in the box.

LB, ROUND 5, PICK 151 Georgia / SMAEL MONDON JR.
Mondon is an athletic but diminutive linebacker (6-foot-3, 225 pounds) that can be deployed in downhill scenarios. He can get quickly to the sideline to defend outside runs and is an innate blitzer.

He can play a little too aggressively at times, but it’s better to have that and help him work on it than to have someone who can’t play with the urgency and aggression that the position requires.

CB KAMAL HADDEN, TENNESSEE ROUND 5, PICK 157: Hadden has been a journeyman in college football. His original plan was to attend Central Michigan after high school, but his grades prevented him from meeting the requirements. Rather than going to Last Chance U, he registered in Independence CC (JUCO). As a three-star JUCO prospect, he played one season there before moving to Auburn. However, he only stayed for the spring before moving to Tennessee in the summer of 2021.

From 2021 to 2022, he started with the Vols as a spot starter. Before suffering a shoulder injury that ended his season, he played some extremely good ball as a full-time starter in 2023.

This season, the 6-foot-1, 197-pound outside corner received a 90.7 coverage rating, which was by far the best of his career.
