Brown, 6″8 and 311 lbs, played with Northern Iowa from 2016-2020. He was originally a tight end and redshirted his freshman season to transition to the offensive line. He ended up starting 32 of 33 games at right tackle.
The Bills are scheduled to pick four times on Saturday:
- Round 5 (161)
- Round 5 (174)
- Round 6 (213)
- Round 7 (236)

Bills GM Brandon Beane said Carlos Basham was the best player on their board, even though he didn't come into the night expecting to take another defensive end: "You can never have enough pass rushers."

Beane on CBs: "There were some good corners on the board, but guys we had high values on kept getting taken in front of us each time. With each pick we had the better value was the DL we took and Spencer. You want to be strong up front. It's a big man's game." #Bills

Brown on dream of playing in NFL: "I was super lucky to play football. I never thought about the NFL. I had a lot of short term goals that turned into a long-term goal. It's a culmination of what happened now." #Bills

Spencer Brown said that he had about 40-50 people at his draft party when he was drafted, then about 10 minutes after the pick "the whole town" of Lennox, Iowa "showed up on his front lawn"
