Versatile defensive line prospect Zacch Pickens has reportedly had a pre-draft visit with the Buffalo Bills.
According to theScore, Pickens took a trip to Orchard Park last week ahead of the 2023 NFL draft:
Two big visits for the #Bills today:#Tennessee star WR Jalin Hyatt’s visiting. The Biletnikoff Winner is a projected 1st-round pick.#SouthCarolina DL Zacch Pickens is also in Buffalo. Former 5-star recruit checks in at 6-4, 291-pounds: 4 TFL / 2.5 sacks last year. @theScore

Pro Football Focus calls Pickeens a defensive lineman that can be groomed to play numerous roles across a front. That versatility suits Buffalo well.
Plus, the Bills need numbers and an injection of talent in the middle of their defensive line. Jordan Phillips re-signed this offseason, coming back to a group led by DaQuan Jones and Ed Oliver. However, the unit has left a bit more to be desired and Buffalo could see Pickens as a player that could bolster their defensive line.
A senior, Pickens picked up 11.5 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks in his career at South Carolina. Prior to the draft, projections see Pickens slated as a mid-round pick.
