Reid's new two-round NFL mock draft: Which prospects are rising in the top 64 picks after the combine?

Jordan Reid projects landing spots for top NFL prospects, three QBs and plenty of combine risers over the opening 64 picks. And he even has an early trade.

30.​

Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky

Rasul Douglas struggled in 2024 and is set to become a free agent, leaving cornerback as a major need for Buffalo along with the defensive line. Heading into the combine, Hairston was clumped into a cluster of corners who were in the late-Day 1 to early-Day 2 range. But a good performance in Indy catapulted him to the top of the group, highlighted by his 4.28-second 40.

Hairston is a perfect scheme fit for the Bills and can keep up with any receiver. His loose movements and fluidity allow him to easily change directions and attack the ball out of the air. He maintained his physicality this past season even though a nagging shoulder injury limited him to five games.

56.​

T.J. Sanders, DT, South Carolina

The Bills have two major issues along their defensive line -- lack of depth and not being able to finish when rushing quarterbacks. Sanders solves both problems, as he routinely generates pressure up the middle and his 2.40-second average time to first pressure this past season led all FBS defensive linemen.

62.​

Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas


Mukuba, an interchangeable safety who can wear multiple hats in the secondary, would be perfect for the Bills. His breakout senior season resulted in a career-high five interceptions, proving he has the ball skills (and instincts as a run defender) to be an early starter.

Note that oft-discussed DL Tyleik Williams goes 63rd in this mock draft. Also oft-discussed mammoth Kenneth Grant goes 15th.

CB is just about the last position I'd want to see in round 1. I'd be happy to take another receiver if a stud DT doesn't fall to 30. It would be sweet if Burden fell, but Golden, Harris, and Ayomanor all fit what we're missing.

Edit: Jets release Davante Adams. I'd take a swing if he's not looking for a massive payday.

Adams 1st choice is likely to follow Rodgers again I would think ? (who's left, NYG ?, and depending where Darnold lands). But if not I know they liked him in the past.

ps Lazard also given permission to seek a trade (11M cap), likely a release as well.

If he chooses to follow Rodgers again, after that disaster of a season, they truly have the strongest friendship of all time lol

CB is one of the positions that the Bills will be looking for a starter this offseason.

If CB is the best player available at a position of need at that point in time, I wouldn't hate it.

There are plenty of decent enough corners in FA, and McDermott has a long history of getting the best out of mediocre DBs. It's not something I'd want to spend a 1st on when they already have a very good CB1 in Benford and much more glaring needs elsewhere.
