OLB, Georgia.
At 6'4, 230 lbs he's very fast off the edge and can put a lot of pressure on the quarterback as an outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense.

Does he remain on the board after 48 picks?
More teams are playing a 4-3 defense, and Floyd is not a 4-3 linebacker so that bodes well for the Bills.
Slightly less than half of all NFL teams are running a 3-4 defense.

Very generally speaking, because there are 50 shades of grey therein, the teams that run the 3-4 currently include the Niners, Jets (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/new-york-jets), Cardinals (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/arizona-cardinals), Ravens (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/baltimore-ravens), Packers (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/green-bay-packers), Chiefs (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/kansas-city-chiefs),Chargers (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/san-diego-chargers), Redskins (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/washington-redskins), Browns (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/cleveland-browns), Steelers (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/pittsburgh-steelers), Eagles (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/philadelphia-eagles), and others.
Good read for a restful, joyfully boring Sunday afternoon.
Which teams pick ahead of the Bills, run a 3-4 defense, and need an outside linebacker?

Ravens

The Ravens have the 36th overall pick in the 2nd round.
What would it take to move from 49 to 36?
Unfortunately, I don't think Ozzie Newsome would be willing to trade.
If Leonard Floyd is off the board, who should the Bills draft at linebacker?
