The Buffalo Bills have selected interior defensive lineman Harrison Phillips out of Stanford in the third round with the 96th overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft.
Phillips is the Bills' first pick since they took linebacker Tremaine Edmunds sixteenth overall. The Stanford product joins a stacked interior defensive line in Buffalo which includes Kyle Williams, Star Lotulelei, and Adolphus Washington, who will all likely work together in rotation.
