Bills select OL O'Cyrus Torrence in Round 2

The Buffalo Bills selected Florida guard O'Cyrus Torrence in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 59th overall.

Torrence was the top-ranked guard in the country last year, according to PFF. He didn't allow any sacks while playing right guard across his three seasons at Florida.

The 6-foot-5, 347-pounder will join a Buffalo offensive line that lost two interior offensive linemen this offseason, including Rodger Saffold, who started 16 games last campaign.

Pre-draft profile

Torrence is a powerhouse on the interior. He demonstrates supremely strong hands and an incredible base. The rep is just about over if he gets his hands on his opponent, both in pass protection and as a run blocker. Torrence also demonstrates the processing ability to adjust his assignment against twists and games up front. He'll tend to struggle against finesse rushers who can challenge him laterally, but anyone who tries to go through him with power doesn't stand much of a chance. Torrence should be an effective long-term starter in a gap scheme that takes advantage of his ability to dominate as a drive blocker.
