TE Dalton Keene | Virginia Tech
Bills coach Sean McDermott gave rave reviews of his current tight end room at the combine, but facts are facts, he wanted to bring in Greg Olsen so the Bills will certainly look to bring in someone else. Dalton Keene said he met with the Bills at the combine and he followed that up with a good showing. His 4.71 40-yard time was fifth-best among tight ends and displayed some explosion with a position-group best 125-inch broad jump.
WR Antonio Gibson | Memphis
Antonio Gipson could be a perfect match for the Bills. He participated with the wide receivers at the combine, but he also has experience playing running back as well. A true Swiss-army knife which Buffalo offensive coordinator Brian Daboll would love. His 40-yard dash time of 4.39 seconds certainly turned some heads, which was fifth among wideouts. He also did 16 bench press reps, 12th most. Among running backs, Taylor put up the fastest 40 time at 4.39 seconds as well.
RB AJ Dillion | Boston College
Titans rusher Derrick Henry took the NFL by storm last year as a bulky runner. AJ Dillion could be that same type of guy after his combine, even preforming better than Henry at it. At 6-feet, 247 pounds, he put a 4.53 40-yard dash on the board. Henry was at 4.54 seconds and Dillion also did one more bench press rep (23) than Henry. Dillon ran for 4,382 yards and averaged 5.2 yards per carry in three years at BC and his size alone indicates he could be a solid pass blocking option as well to team up with Singletary in Buffalo’s backfield.
WR Denzel Mims | Baylor
Some draft experts peg Denzel Mims, not Tee Higgins (who did not participate at the combine) as the big-bodied target that could thrive in the NFL. Mims followed up a strong Senior Bowl by running a 4.38 40-yard time, his position’s third-best time, and a 38.5-inch vertical jump, the sixth-best. Mims stands at 6-foot-3, 207 pounds and could be exactly the type of wideout many predict the Bills to target at some point this offseason.
TE Albert Okwuegbunam | Missouri
If you couldn’t already tell, speed helps on offense and Okwuegbunam had it. He clocked in at the fastest 40-yard time among tight ends at 4.49 seconds. That, combined with a 6-foot-5, 258-pound frame will catch attention. He is one of the lesser-known prospects, but there really aren’t any high-profile type of tight end prospects coming out in this year’s draft class anyway. The wideouts are getting all the attention, but Okwuegbunam could be an interesting add for any team, such as the Bills, perhaps on Day 2 of the draft or early Day 3.
