PFF says Buffalo Bills landed one of the biggest steals of the 2024 NFL Draft

Pro Football Focus thinks the Buffalo Bills landed one of the biggest steals in the 2024 NFL Draft.

PFF thinks the Bills' selection of Georgia Bulldogs offensive lineman Sedrick Van Pran in the fifth round was one of the biggest steals in this year's draft.

From PFF: A consistently dominant force for Georgia over the past three seasons, Van Pran has allowed just one sack and two quarterback hits across more than 1,400 pass-protection snaps. He peaked as a run blocker in 2023, posting a 76.9 grade in the Bulldogs’ multiple run scheme. With Mitch Morse out in Buffalo, there is a legitimate chance Van Pran pushes for a starting gig at center. At worst, he provides positional versatility across the interior.

If Van Pran ends up winning a starting job for the Bills in 2024, then this selection will go from being one of the biggest steals of the draft to the biggest steal of the draft.

The center position is arguably the most important position on the offensive side of the ball outside of the quarterback position. Potentially landing a starter at that position in the fifth round is every general manager's dream.

We'll see how it plays out this summer and into the season, but there's certainly plenty of reason for Buffalo fans to be excited about the selection of Van Pran.
