Mock drafts will abound over the next four weeks until the 2025 NFL Draft kicks off in Green Bay, and Bills fans will be eating them up to look at the potential options Brandon Beane and company could go to address the team's biggest needs. One thing is for sure — defense is going to be a huge priority throughout the draft for Buffalo, and especially with their early picks. The Bills has five picks in the first four rounds, and three in the first two rounds.

In the latest mock draft from A to Z's own Ryan Roberts, he has the Bills taking a defensive tackle that he calls underrated in Ohio State's Tyleik Williams.

Here's what Roberts said about his selection of Williams to the Bills with the 30th pick:

Is there a defensive tackle more underrated in the 2025 NFL Draft class than Williams? While he may never be a great pass rusher, he is a dominant run defender that brings a high floor. 

Williams' lack of pass rush upside is what has me slightly turned off on the prospect for the Bills in particular, because they need all the help they can get on the defensive line when it comes to collapsing the pocket and getting after the quarterback, but Roberts is right — Williams is a dominant run defender that can blow up the interior of opposing offensive lines as they try to get to their blocks. 

People might be knocking Williams down their boards a little too much for his lack of elite pass rush. If Kenneth Grant and Derrick Harmon are both off the board, the seasoned and physical 6-foot-2 325 lbs defensive tackle would be a welcome presence for Sean McDermott on the defensive line.
