NFL Draft analyst Connor Rogers released his latest three-round mock draft, which includes the Buffalo Bills drafting defensive players with all of their picks on the first two days.

Pick 30: Kenneth Grant, DL, Michigan

"The Bills' defensive line could still use some beef on the interior and the 331-pound Grant not only brings that at nose tackle, but he also has quick feet to continue his pass rush development," explains Rogers.

Pick 56: Josiah Stewart, EDGE, Michigan

Rogers double-dips with Michigan defensive linemen, selecting the 6-foot-1, 249 pound "pass rush demon" that was one of the best players in college football when it came to creating pressure.

Pick 62: Andrew Mukuba, SAF, Texas

With Buffalo's second pick in round two, they upgrade their secondary with Mukuba, who has "instincts and ball skills to create takeaways" in the back end.
