00:00The 2025 NFL draft is just over one month away, meaning it is time to really buckle in and take

00:05a look at some prospects that could be on the board for the Buffalo Bills when they're picking

00:1030th. In this video, we're going to go through three options that direct positions in need and

00:14why they would be great fits for Brandon Bean. What's up, everybody? It is Jon Helmkamp with

00:22A to Z Buffalo. So in this video, we're going to talk through three prospects that look like they

00:27might be available around the time that the Bills are on the clock at 30th, or they could be someone

00:31that the Bills move around a little bit for to make sure that they get. We're going to talk about

00:36three different positions because there's a lot of different needs on this team right now. So the

00:40first thing we're going to start with is pass rush. We are going to go with Mike Green, the

00:44edge rusher, Adam Marshall. So Mike Green is currently dealing with some questions about

00:49some past allegations, meaning the Buffalo Bills are going to have to do their homework to make

00:54sure that they feel comfortable with the character. But as a football player, Mike Green

00:59is an incredible pass rusher off the edge. He led the entire country with 17 sacks this last season

01:05at Marshall, and he just posted a ridiculous three cone time at his pro day that ranks in the 99th

01:12percentile at the position. He is super athletic, super bendy, great production profile, has the

01:19athleticism that the Buffalo Bills really covered on the defensive line, and I think that he's a

01:24name that the Bills are going to be paying very strong attention to. Next, we're going to talk

01:28about Azaria Thomas, the cornerback out of Florida State University. Corner is definitely a big need

01:34for the Bills at this point. Going into free agency, the Bills needed to address their cornerback

01:40two position. Christian Benford is locked in as the number one guy. He's the top option on the team,

01:44but in terms of their number two corner, the Bills didn't go out and get anybody in free agency that

01:49can immediately step into that role, meaning cornerback is going to be a big priority at some

01:55point in this draft. Now, the Buffalo Bills do have 10 picks right now to use, meaning it gives

02:01them flexibility to trade around, to move some picks, to maybe move up, things of that nature.

02:06But sticking at 30th, Thomas is a long, fluid corner at just under six foot two

02:13with great man coverage skills, and we've seen multiple moves made on the coaching staff over

02:18this season that potentially point to the Bills shifting to more of a man coverage defense,

02:23which would be a pretty big schematic difference for them. So going out and selecting a fluid

02:29cornerback with ball skills that's great in man coverage definitely should be something

02:34that is on the Bills radar. The third option that we're going to talk about in this video

02:37is wide receiver out of Ohio State University, Amika Egbuka. I know going wide receiver in back

02:44to back years with the first pick that the Bills have would definitely raise some eyebrows, but

02:49there is no denying at this point that the Buffalo Bills need wide receivers that can attack down the

02:55field. Yes, they did go out and get Joshua Palmer in free agency, and I am excited to see what his

03:01looks like, but that should not preclude the Bills from selecting another wide receiver at some point

03:07this year. Now, it all depends on how the board is going to shake out. Wide receiver isn't the

03:12top priority for the team, but if there's a run on defensive tackles, if there's a run on corners,

03:17if they don't like the pass rusher options that are available, and an elite wide receiver with

03:22great production over four years at one of the best schools in the country at producing wide

03:27receiver talent is just sitting there available, I think it's definitely something that Brandon

03:32Bean should consider. Amika Egbuka is incredibly polished. He is a veteran wide receiver coming out

03:38of college. He has a ton of experience, understands what defenses are doing, and is capable of

03:43attacking at all levels of the field, including stretching a defense vertically. I think that he's

03:49a very strong option personally. Hot take time. I think Amika Egbuka is the top wide receiver in

03:55this year's class. While everyone else is fawning over Tett McMillan and his potential upside for

04:00the height that he has, Amika Egbuka is savvy. He's not your prototypical wide receiver one.

04:06He reminds me a little bit more of Aminroth St. Brown, but he is a do-everything, gritty

04:12wide receiver that's also a great blocker, which we know the Bills love in their wide receivers as

04:16well. So let me know what you guys think of these three options in the comments down below, and I

04:21will catch you guys next time.
