The new NFL league year is about a month away, and the speculation on what teams will do in free agency and the draft will be rampant until then. 

It's no different here, so let's just dive into the latest four-round mock draft for the Buffalo Bills

Round 1, Pick 28: WR Keon Coleman, Florida State

Coleman has a massive frame that would make him a legitimate downfield threat. At 6-foot-4, he can win the jump balls, which will also make him a serious red zone threat. Plus, at just 20 years of age, the Bills would get a lot of mileage out of the former Seminole. He's very good against man-coverage and hauled in 11 touchdowns in 2023. Keith Sanchez of The Locked On NFL Draft Podcast is a big fan of Coleman, saying that the last thing the NFL should want is for him to be available at No. 32 for the Kansas City Chiefs to select. If Buffalo can get a play-maker, as well as prevent Patrick Mahomes from getting one, that's a pretty solid double whammy. 

Round 2, Pick 60: WR Roman Wilson, Michigan

Wilson was the best receiver in Mobile during Senior Bowl week, and he would give Buffalo something they've been missing for a long time- a go-to slot receiver. When the Bills made it to the AFC Championship Game in 2020, they had Cole Beasley who was arguably the best slot receiver in football that year. Khalil Shakir is a nice piece, but the upside of Wilson is far greater and would make for hellish matchups when the Bills go four wide. Imagine Stefon Diggs and Keon Coleman with Dalton Kincaid and Wilson in either slot- that is a deadly lineup. 

Round 3, Pick 99: EDGE Marshawn Kneeland, Western Michigan

The Bills need a reliable edge presence, especially with the decline of Von Miller and A.J. Epenesa potentially leaving in free agency. Kneeland had 28 hurries and graded off the charts. He earned a true pass set pass rush grade of 87.3, had a pass rush win rate of 17.3 percent, and had an 83.4 grade against the run, per PFF. His run stop rate was also 11 percent, which is astronomical. That is the type of versatile dominance the Bills need up front, and Kneeland could end up being a massive steal in the third round.

Round 4, Pick 129: DT Jordan Jefferson, LSU

Buffalo needs a good run stopper on the interior. DaQuan Jones is likely gone, and they'll need someone to fill those shoes and help Buffalo improve from ranking 24th in EPA per rush. Jefferson graded well as a run defender, and would be a fine addition as a fourth-round pick.
