The defensive line group is one of the deepest position groups in this year's NFL Draft, which is great news for the Buffalo Bills, who might be looking to take multiple players to add to their defensive front.
One of the best options in the draft at the defensive tackle position, Michigan's Kenneth Grant, was expected to have an unbelievable Combine showing with this athletic testing. A day before he was slated to run, Grant said he was trying to get into the 4.8 second rage. At 330 pounds, that would have been an absurd run.
Grant, during his medical evaluations, was found to have a hamstring strain, knocking him out of the testing at the event. In doing so, the Bills might have gotten lucky.
If Grant went out there and blew up the Combine, I would propose that there's no way he would have been available at the 30th overall pick for the Buffalo Bills. Since he's not running, maybe there's at least a chance.
Grant is a monster of a defensive tackle with a ton of athleticism, and he would be an incredible add for a Buffalo team that really needs to bolster their front.
He's not the only one that will draw the eyes of the Bills. Walter Nolen is an explosive DT that can move all along the defensive line and get after the quarterback. Derrick Harmon, who got out with a strong 1.77 second unofficial 10-yard split in his 4.95 40-yard dash at 313 lbs with an 83" wingspan, is another strong option.
There are plenty of ways the Bills can go in this year's draft. In a deep defensive line class, Brandon Beane will have his options for remaking a defensive front that is in big need of impact players.
