Bills met at least twice with prospect Josiah Deguara

According to Draft Wire, the Buffalo Bills are among a group of NFL teams that have met twice with one tight end prospect ahead of the 2020 NFL Draft next week. 

According to Draft Wire, the Buffalo Bills are among a group of NFL teams that have met twice with one tight end prospect ahead of the 2020 NFL Draft next week.

The player is Cincinnati tight end Josiah Deguara, and the Bills are one of 17 teams specifically mentioned as one that has spoke to him twice during the pre-draft process:

Deguara, 23, is coming off his best season in 2019 with the Bearcats after accumulating 39 catches for 504 yards and seven touchdowns. Deguara is currently pegged as a Day 3 pick, but he’s clearly a popular player among NFL teams, so it wouldn’t be shocking to see him come off the board early on that day of the draft. Deguara is praised for having a strong set of hands catching the ball, and also possessing a knack for run blocking.

While Dawson Knox is a young tight end prospect already on the Bills, having two tight ends could be an appealing trait for the Bills offense in the future. Behind Knox currently is a logjam, though. There’s Tyler Kroft, along with Lee Smith and Jason Croom.

Report: RB JK Dobbins has pre-draft interview with Bills

Buffalo Bills held a 2020 NFL pre-draft interview with Ohio State running back JK Dobbins.

J.K. Dobbins is certainly a name to remember once the 2020 NFL Draft rolls around.

The Ohio State prospect is one of the best running backs the upcoming draft has to offer, and there’s a chance he’ll be on the board when the Bills have their first pick in the second round at No. 54 overall. Now there’s a connection, too.

According to The Houston Chronicle the Bills had a pre-draft interview with Dobbins:

While the Bills do have Devin Singletary, who was recently dubbed the team’s No. 1 back by general manager Brandon Beane, Buffalo could still use another back. Frank Gore is likely out as he has yet to be re-signed by the team despite him saying he wants to play in 2020, and Buffalo’s only No. 2 option currently is TJ Yeldon, who was inactive most of last season.

Dobbins put up massive numbers during his junior year at Ohio State. He rushed for 2,003 yards and 21 rushing touchdowns. Dobbins was a big-time player for the Buckeyes, averaging 173 rushing years in Ohio State’s two post-regular season games. Dobbins isn’t an overly large back at 5-foot-9, but at 209 pounds, he’s still got some size to him.
