Bills Draft Zane Durant: Versatile D-Line Boost

0:00On April 26, Buffalo Bills just beefed up their D-line on day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft, grabbing Penn State's Zane Durant at pick. 181st in the 5th round, Durant stands 6 foot 1 and weighs 290 pounds, a tad undersized for a defensive tackle, but he crushed it at the combine with the second highest athleticism score among guys at his position. That quick first step and slick lateral moves make him a versatile piece who can slide around the line. Analysts had him pegged for the 5th or 6th round, so this feels like smart value for GM Brandon Bean, especially if they scheme him right in gym. Leon Hart's aggressive setup, coaching fit will decide if Durant sticks and disrupts, but adding this kind of flexible talent keeps the Bills defense stacking depth where they need it most.
