Jonathan Greenard, Florida

Greenard is a versatile player who defends well against the run and attacks nicely when blitzing. He has good power and force off the edge. Greenard will just need to work on developing an array of pass-rush maneuvers at the next level. Greenard transferred to Florida as a grad transfer in 2019, registered 10 sacks and 16 tackles for loss. He could fit in as a bit of a developmental project, as he missed time due to various injuries (wrist, ankle) over the past two years.

Marlon Davidson, Auburn

Several players at the defensive end position could double as a 3-4 linebacker; Davidson’s versatility is that he can play on the interior or edge of a 4-3 front. Davidson had a career-high 48 total tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, and 7.5 sacks during his senior season. His flexibility on the defensive line will make him appealing to Buffalo. Davidson shared that he likes being an edge rusher.
