Lance Lysowski: Buffalo Bills take a fresh approach to 2026 draft class
‘Annoying or not, the decision to trade back three times Thursday night made sense in this draft because the group of edge rushers the Bills coveted were going to still be available early in the second round. Other NFL teams thought so highly of Washington receiver Denzel Boston that he fell to the 39th pick. Indiana’s Omar Cooper Jr. is a slot-only receiver. Adding more picks on Days 2 and 3 made more sense than to reach for a player, especially since we learned later in the draft the Bills planned to add a talented pass-catcher for Allen.’
UDFA tracker: Buffalo Bills continue to add to their roster after NFL draft
‘Through media reports and college programs, here’s a rundown of the players who have agreed to terms (the Bills do not announce the acquisitions until they pass physicals before rookie minicamp next month)…’.
The Editorial Board: CBA and the Bills stadium
‘When will minority and women-owned business enterprise vendors get a foot in the door of the new Bills stadium? It is a simple but vital question, key to the economic impact of the $2 billion venue. The officials in charge of knowing the answer owe an explanation to the members of the committee overseeing the stadium’s Community Benefits Agreement, as well as to the vendors, of why it’s taking so long to get a straight answer.
Bills earn perfect draft grades from NFL.com, but not everyone agrees
‘NFL.com gave Buffalo the only perfect report card in the league, awarding an A for each day and an overall A. But ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. gave the Bills a B-, the lowest grade in the AFC East. Other outlets were less enthusiastic, including a ranking of 26 of 32 teams and a C+ grade from Walter Football.’

The ‘reckless’ Ja’Marr Chase comparison that has NFL analysts buzzing about the Bills’ fourth-round steal
‘“This is probably the most reckless thing I’ll say on this show,” Helman stated. “This is Ja’Marr Chase lite. He’s a freak athlete, he’s explosive, but he’s very powerful and strong. And watching him, I was just like, obviously, he’s not Ja’Marr Chase. He’s not going to be a top-10 pick. I doubt he’s going to be an All-Pro caliber player as a rookie, but he does all that type of stuff. He can take it to the house. He can just body people out of the way. He can high point the ball. If I was trying to get Ja’Marr Chase’s skillset on late day two or even into day three, I’m all the way in on this guy.”’
The promise Jalon Kilgore made to the Buffalo Bills after NFL draft fall

Buffalo Bills invite embattled wide receiver to rookie minicamp
‘Burton, 24, was a third-round pick of the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2024 NFL Draft. Entering the league, Burton was viewed as a potential big-play threat. He averaged 19 yards or more per reception twice in his collegiate career. Adding Burton to a wide receiver room that already included Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins was supposed to give Joe Burrow his best set of weapons to date. It didn’t play out that way, however. In less than two seasons, Burton was off the Bengals and out of the league. Maturity issues were the main cause.’
TCU’s Kaleb Elarms-Orr ready to be in Buffalo for ‘years and years to come’
He promised that he would give his all during his tenure in Buffalo. “You’re gonna get someone that’s a hard worker, is always trying to be around the ball, a leader and someone that you guys can count on for years and years to come,” Elarms-Orr said. “I’m a player that is very passionate about the game. Football is all I do, and I’m just ready to go out there and compete at the highest level.”’
