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.

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… Jenna Carlson Round (#) Selection 1 (28) WR Adonai Mitchell (Texas) 2 (56; via DAL) DL Ruke Orhorhoro (Clemson) 4 (112; via LV) S Cole Bish ..read more

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! Round 1, Pick 28 – BEST: Brian Thomas Jr., WR, LSU Photo by Jonathan Mailhes Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know the looks I’m getting as I write this.“Griffin is using the same pick as everyone elses but we’re dreaming because he ain’t falling yous guy”.

In a surprising move, the Buffalo Bills have parted ways with their star wide receiver, Stefon Diggs, trading him to the Houston Texans.

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… Jenna Carlson Round (#) Selection 1 (28) WR Adonai Mitchell (Texas) 2 (56; via DAL) DL Ruke Orhorhoro (Clemson) Round 4, Pick #112 (via LV): S Cole Bishop – Utah Team Picks R ..read more
