Our 2025 NFL Scouting Combine positional review series comes to an end as we round out the position groups with the offensive line. Remember, if you missed any of the previous articles in this series, find them here:

Last year I began this article with “The Buffalo Bills’ starting offensive line unit was able to stay intact for the entirety of the 2023 NFL season, which is a rare and remarkable feat.” Besides one missed start by Spencer Brown because of injury and resting players in Week 18, Buffalo’s offensive line once again remained remarkably healthy in 2024.

The Bills’ offensive line was one of the best units in the NFL, and I would expect that to remain the same in 2025. Furthermore, every starting position and backup position seem to be filled. There is possibly room for another prospect on the back end of the roster to compete for a spot, but this is one of Buffalo’s lowest priorities in the 2025 NFL Draft.

The Bills current starting offensive line is:

  • LT - Dion Dawkins
  • LG - David Edwards
  • C - Connor McGovern
  • RG - O’Cyrus Torrence
  • RT - Spencer Brown

Their backups include Travis Clayton, Richard Gouraige, Ryan Van Demark, Tylan Grable, Alec Anderson, Mike Edwards, and Sedrick Van Pran-Granger.

There are greater needs than offensive line in the draft, and if any are considered it shouldn’t be until Day 3. With that said, Below is a list of offensive line prospects the Bills could be interested in during next month’s NFL Draft.

For reference:

The Bills have 10 picks in April’s draft. I’m focusing on players who may be available near where Buffalo is set to pick.

  • Pick 30 (round 1)
  • Picks 56 & 62 (round 2)
  • Picks 108 & 131 (round 4)
  • Picks 171 & 175 (round 5)
  • Picks 179, 206, & 208 (round 6)

  • Day 1 = Round 1
  • Day 2 = Rounds 2 & 3
  • Day 3 = Rounds 4-7

Day 1 Considerations

The Bills shouldn’t plan on investing a Day 1 pick on the offensive line because they have greater needs at other positions.

Day 2 Considerations

As with Day 1, Buffalo shouldn’t prioritize selecting offensive linemen in Rounds 2-3.

Day 3 Considerations

Clay Webb, OG (Jacksonville State)

Webb originally signed with Georgia out of high school but transferred to Jacksonville State after seeing minimal time at Georgia. He can play guard or center, which is the positional flexibility the Bills will covet.

Webb is athletic enough to climb to the second level and secure blocks, but power isn’t his strength. He had a solid Senior Bowl week.

  • Height: 6’3”
  • Weight: 312 pounds
  • 40-yard dash: 5.11 seconds
  • 10-yard split: 1.72 seconds
  • Vertical jump: 31”
  • Broad jump: 8’11”
  • Shuttle: 4.9 seconds
  • Bench Press: 29 reps

Xavier Truss (Georgia)

A super-sized human at 6’7” with above-average athleticism for his size, Tuss is a prospect with similar measurables to Spencer Brown. Like Brown, Truss will need to develop before reaching his potential. Truss has the traits the NFL covets, but he needs to be more consistent and refine his game.

  • Height: 6’7”
  • Weight: 309 pounds
  • 40-yard dash: 5.24 seconds
  • 10-yard split: 1.82 seconds
  • Vertical jump: 26”
  • Broad jump: 8’7”

Garrett Dellinger (LSU)

Dellinger didn’t test at the combine, so I don’t have any testing numbers for you. However, I like him as a late draft option for the Bills. There is nothing overly amazing about Dellinger’s game but he plays with good technique and he has lots of experience in a top-tier program at LSU. He has good play strength and knows how to get the job done inside against tough opponents.

  • Height: 6’4”
  • Weight: 325 pounds

In summary

The Bills might not even think about drafting an offensive lineman this year, and that’s okay by me. Buffalo has a top-tier offensive line that’s littered with exceptional talent, solid backups, and also fascinating developmental projects. I believe they’re set in this area, which is fantastic.
