Bills take defensive tackle Harrison Phillips in 3rd Round

Bills select Harrison Phillips from Stanford with their third round draft choice.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) - The Buffalo Bills have selected Stanford defensive tackle Harrison Phillips with the 96th pick in the NFL draft.

He's listed at 6-foot-3 and 307 pounds and was a two-year starter with the Cardinal. Phillips led Stanford with 103 tackles while adding 7 1/2 sacks and earned first-team Pac-12 honors in his senior season last year.

Phillips will have a chance to develop in Buffalo on a defensive line that features two veteran starters in Kyle Williams and offseason free-agent addition Star Lotulelei.

Buffalo waited 80 picks between selections Friday a day after trading both second-round picks and a third-rounder in two separate trades. The Bills first moved up five picks in the draft order to select Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen with the seventh pick. Then they moved up six spots to select Virginia Tech linebacker Tremaine Edmunds at No. 16.

The Bills close the draft Saturday with five picks over the final four rounds.
