Jordan Elliott | Missouri
Elliott is another player whose versatility lends well to the pro game, as he can play in multiple schemes upfront. That’s something the Bills will love, along with his high motor effort. Of his 44 total tackles, 8.5 went for a loss just last season alone. Elliott has a knack for winning battles and shooting through gaps in the offensive line. However, he doesn’t have the strongest burst off the snap, which could limit his playing abilities with certain schemes.

Jason Strowbridge | North carolina
Strowbridge is a bit faster and a little lighter than other defensive linemen. He clocked in at 4.89 seconds in the 40-yard dash and weighed in at 275 pounds at the Combine. For NFL standards, that could be a bit undersized for the line, but it helps his pass-rushing ability. His play improved as he became a veteran in North Carolina. In his senior season, he set a career-high with 44 total tackles. He could play in a 3-4 or 4-3 system.
