The Buffalo Bills are keeping a close eye on Miami Hurricanes Safety Kamren Kinchens as a potential draft target. With Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde gone, the Bills are seeking a reliable replacement in their defensive backfield.
Kinchens, a First-Team All-ACC selection in 2023, boasts coveted instincts at safety. He showcased an impressive knack for creating turnovers during his college career, including 11 interceptions over the last two seasons.
When asked about his strengths, Kinchens emphasized his instincts and aggressiveness, while acknowledging the need to balance ris ..read more

Round 6 is when fliers are taken on prospects who are a bit rawer but flash potential upside. These picks are the proverbial “$1 scratchers” of NFL draft picks. Most won’t do much, if anything at all. Sometimes, teams “win” on one, either breaking even or getting a minor profit. But there are rare occasions where a team hits the jackpot on a sixth round selection. So let’s see which way the BF Writers (on behalf of the Buffalo Bills) use theirs…

The 2024 NFL Draft is less than a month away. While I sift through the prospects that intrigue me — there are so many, and I always find myself changing my mind — I can’t help but circle back to the players I’ve watched and grown to love on the FBS team that I root for. That is, The University of Texas at Austin. Let me be candid: I’ve actually only been a Longhorns fan for one year. It was January 2023, and I needed a college football team to follow. I looked at many teams but, in my draft evaluation at the time, I fell in love with two particular running backs: Roschon Johnson and Bijan Robi ..read more

Everyone who has ever worked in sports writing does one of these. So, I thought it was my time to put a little spice on it. The Buffalo Bills have 11 picks and we aren’t going to be like the 2019 three first-round-pick Raiders and miss on all three. This team isn’t going to go silent into the night! This is our Draftdepedence Day!

In a surprising move, the Buffalo Bills have parted ways with their star wide receiver, Stefon Diggs, trading him to the Houston Texans. The trade, which has sent shockwaves through the NFL community, involves several draft picks.
The Bills will receive a 2025 second-round pick, originally from the Minnesota Vikings, in exchange for Diggs. This move signifies a strategic decision by Buffalo, as they look to bolster their long-term roster. Diggs, a four-time Pro Bowler, has been a consistent force on the field. He has amassed six consecutive 1,000-yard seasons duri ..read more

Round 1, Round 2, now skip a few… and here we are with some Round 4 picks in the 2024 BF Writers Mock Draft. This year, the Buffalo Bills have two fourth rounders this year. So they can have twice the fun here (or have twice the trade fodder to move up either in the first round or move into the third round).
The phones are ringing and time’s a buzzing, so let’s get at it!
The Buffalo Bills are on the clock…

The Buffalo Bills are scheduled to pick nine times in Rounds 4-7. Of course, it’s unlikely they make all their selections when 11 rookies aren’t making this roster, so we’ll see some trades on Days 1 & 2. But, with everyone fascinated by what the Bills do during Round 1, the mid-late round Bills selections aren’t getting talked about enough. Let’s take a look at some positions they could draft, and what players there fit the Bills team.

The Buffalo Bills met with the enormous Badgers RB at the combine earlier this offseason, as Muki Hawkins reported. With RB de ..read more

One thing that you can expect from Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott on draft day is surprises. Between drafting third round running backs in consecutive years and trading two spots up in the first for a TE, who became an amazing asset but nonetheless perplexed fans who were praying for a first round WR. Brandon Beane is a genius when drafting for the long-term (i.e. Christian Benford, Taron Johnson, and Matt Milano). However, when it comes to immediate impact starters, he is subpar at best. Here are some “Do’s and Don’ts” to help Brandon Beane draft immediate impact players and avoid the mista ..read more

DeShawn Williams is no stranger to the NFL. He started his journey as an undrafted free agent with the Cincinnati Bengals back in 2015. Despite facing tough odds, he made an impression during his rookie season. However, playing time was limited, and he spent some time on the practice squad.
In 2018, Williams got a fresh start with the Denver Broncos. Although he initially remained on the practice squad, he finally got his chance to shine in 2020. That year, he started 11 games, showing off his skills with two sacks.
But it was in 2022 that he truly stood out, recording an i ..read more
