The Buffalo Bills selected Duke defensive tackle DeWayne Carter, weighing 302 pounds, with the 95th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Carter, known for his leadership qualities and solid defensive skills, was a four-year and first-ever three-time captain at Duke. He holds a psychology degree with a minor in theater and is noted for his high character and intelligence. The Bills valued his experience and his fit within the team's profile, especially as a backup to Ed Oliver. Carter's selection, which involved a trade back with Kansas City, was strategic as he recorded 114 QB pressures since 2021, ranking second among Power Five DTs.
Like the experience and leadership qualities Bills 3rd-round pick DeWayne Carter brings. A four-year captain. Maybe Bills miss out on selecting him if donβt make the trade back with KC.

DeWayne Carter is my DL14. Rock solid against the run. Good leverage. Hand usage is smart. Leader on the field. Not very flashy. Won't add pass rush. Needs to be more agile. Safe pick by the #Bills #HallamAnalysis
