When the Oregon Ducks hosted their Pro Day on March 18, they had a full house of NFL evaluators. In the crowd was a contingent from the Buffalo Bills, who are selecting 30th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, and are currently armed with two second-round picks as well in their eight pick total.
So who could the Bills be interested in? There's plenty of Oregon talent that would provide potential impact at positions of need.
Jordan Burch, EDGE
Defensive line is a huge need for the Buffalo Bills, even after the first wave of free agency saw Buffalo add veteran EDGE Joey Bosa. The team still needs to add pass rushers and talent on the interior.
The Ducks have a big and strong EDGE in Jordan Burch that should pique the interest of Brandon Beane and the front office. Loving athleticism and length, Burch has plenty of it to go along with a strong production profile. At 6'4" 279 lbs with 33" arms, Burch ran a 4.67 second 40-yard dash with a strong 1.66 second 10-yard split — that's good for the fourth-fastest 40-yard dash and 5th-fastest 10-yard split of all EDGEs that weigh 275 lbs or more at the Combine since 2003.
Derrick Harmon, DT
Derrick Harmon popped all season as one of the most dominant pass rushers in the country at the defensive tackle position, and he continued his showcase in the pre-draft process. Harmon had a strong Combine and looked fluid in the field drills, locking himself in as a first-round talent.
Harmon plays more as a three-tech than as a nose tackle, but you can never have too many defensive linemen. It was clear last season that depth at the position was a major concern, and Harmon would give them plenty of pop.
Jamaree Caldwell, DT
Often overshadowed by Harmon, Oregon's nose tackle Jamaree Caldwell had a great season in his own right and has been drawing more buzz in recent months. For a player that's expected to go around the top-100 players, Caldwell could be a tremendous value as an interior defensive lineman that can anchor and adsorb against double teams, and that also has plenty of agility and quick feet.
Jabbar Muhammad, CB
The cornerback room is thin in Buffalo, and Jabbar Muhammad is flying under the radar as a very strong cornerback in this year's class. He stands only 5'9" 182 lbs, but Muhammad plays with incredible instincts and great physicality for his smaller stature. He's strong against the ball and has loose hips, and recorded 26 PBUs over the last two seasons. Yes, his size is cause for some concern, but as a mid-round draft target, he has plenty of traits and competitiveness that could get the attention of the Bills.
Tez Johnson, WR
Tez Johnson ran a 40-yard dash that was way too slow for a wide receiver of his size. His 4.51 40-time was the slowest 40-yard dash ever by a wide receiver that weighed 170 lbs or less. There's no denying that it was a bad look.
But the 40 isn't everything. More importantly, Johnson is simply a very good football player that has incredible agility, leadership, and work ethic. The intangibles are incredibly appealing, and are something that Beane covets in his players. Johnson will check that box in a major way. His ability in short areas was highlighted by posting the fourth-fastest shuttle and the fastest recorded time in the three-cone drill.
