Bills select guard O’Cyrus Torrence with 59th pick in 2023 NFL Draft

Buffalo drafts linebacker Dorian Williams with 91st pick in 2023 NFL Draft
‘The 21-year-old linebacker was a huge piece of a Green Wave defense that helped turn the program around as a senior, picking up 132 total tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, three sacks, seven passes defended, two interceptions and two forced fumbles. Tulane went from a 2-10 program to a 12-2 record in 2022, as well as a win in the Cotton Bowl over USC.’
Opinion: Bills continue theme of protecting Allen with addition of Torrence
‘The 6-foot-5, 330-pound, Greensburg, Louisiana native did not allow a single sack in college football, playing three years at Louisiana before transferring to Florida and starting 11 games in 2022 for the Gators. That’s even more impressive considering he faced some of the nation’s top defensive linemen while playing for the Gators in the SEC.’

Wood looking at number of positions for Bills with 27th pick

Value of Gabe Davis

Whether it’s taking hits or protecting the football, not putting the ball in harm’s way, just finding better ways.”‘
