’30. Buffalo Bills: Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon.’
Archives for April 2025
NFL draft preview: UB coach Pete Lembo saw safety Nick Emmanwori’s potential early on
‘Safety would have been a priority if the Bills didn’t need immediate contributors/starters at cornerback, edge and defensive tackle. Starter Taylor Rapp is entering the final year of his contract, projected starter Cole Bishop is in his second season (four starts as a rookie), backup/2024 starter Damar Hamlin is on a one-year deal (team-high 14 missed tackles) and newly signed veteran Darrick Forrest is more of a special teams player. Yes, depth is an issue, but it may not be addressed until Day 3 of the draft (rounds 4-7).’
All-SEC cornerback checks a lot of boxes the Buffalo Bills need in early rounds of draft
‘Amos met with the Bills at the combine and then reportedly came to Orchard Park for a top 30 visit so Buffalo’s interest seems genuine as it tries to plug a gaping hole at boundary corner.’
Bills continue to ‘draft, develop and re-sign our own’
‘The Bills have prioritized the re-signing of their own draft picks to contract extensions well in advance of those players reaching free agency. Benford ($76 million), the 2022 sixth-round pick out of Villanova, is one of three players from his draft class to get a four-year extension — joining wide receiver Khalil Shakir ($60.2 million) and linebacker Terrel Bernard ($50 million) — while defensive end Greg Rousseau (four years, $80 million) and quarterback Josh Allen (six years, $330 million) also received extensions in the past six weeks.’
Bills bringing in athletic freak for pre-draft visit
‘The Buffalo Bills are set to host Nebraska defensive tackle Ty Robinson for a pre-draft visit next week, according to reports. Robinson, standing at 6-foot-6 and weighing 310 pounds, had a standout senior season with the Cornhuskers, recording 37 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 7 sacks, and 4 pass breakups.’
Make-A-Wish teen from Orchard Park to announce Buffalo Bills 2025 first-round NFL Draft Pick
’16-year-old Tommy Parzymieso will announce the Bills first-round draft selection on stage at the draft in Green Bay as part of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Tommy and his family live in Orchard Park, NY and are all avid Bills fans.’
Buffalo Bills and Labatt USA extend partnership into New Highmark Stadium
‘”We are thrilled to continue our relationship with FIFCO USA and Labatt as an official beer of the Buffalo Bills and Bills Mafia,” said Jason Hartlund, Buffalo Bills Chief Commercial Officer. “Labatt continues to celebrate the passion of Bills fans and has become a staple at game day tailgates, and this won’t change at New Highmark Stadium. From bringing back Zubaz cans last season to its Throwback Tea, Labatt always puts Bills fans first.”‘
NFL draft preview: Ashton Jeanty leads deep class of running backs
‘“I have 33 (running backs) with draftable grades, and very few teams are going to prioritize running backs,” Kiper said last month on a conference call. “You’re going to see undrafted free agents come in (at running back) and make teams. You can get a really good running back in the second to fourth round. “I love running backs. I just don’t love them in the first round.””
Lots of property is for sale around the new Bills stadium. But so far, developers aren’t buying
‘But some of them have been on the market for more than a year, likely due to high price tags and developers having to wait on rezoning in the Town of Orchard Park – which occurred in October.’
The Bills have a history of trading draft picks. This CB may be worth making another move.
‘Unlike the cratering Dow Jones and Nasdaq, that final-season data he added to his resume has sent Barron’s draft stock soaring 180 degrees in the opposite direction and it would probably be a surprise if he were still available to the Buffalo Bills at pick No. 30 in the first round.’
All-Pro safety Justin Simmons says it would be special to join Buffalo Bills
‘Unprompted, Simmons mentioned the Buffalo Bills among three teams that he would like to potentially join. He added that playing for any of them would be special.’
The Bills have a type when it comes to drafting cornerbacks
‘While the Bills ensured cornerback Christian Benford is sticking around past 2025, they still need someone to play opposite him. Rasul Douglas remains a free agent and the Bills added depth in bringing back Dane Jackson, but they still lack a starting-caliber cornerback.’
ESPN’s Field Yates shares his best fits for the Buffalo Bills in the 2025 NFL Draft
‘”Yeah, I think corner (is the position) that comes to mind first and finding a player that fits into what they want to do defensively,” Yates told 7 Sports about the Bills’ needs in the 2025 NFL Draft. “As we know, Sean McDermott is kind of the cornerback whisperer, so it doesn’t necessarily need to be in Round 1 where they draft a corner. They’ve maybe had more success in the later portions of the draft with corners than in the early portions of the draft. But that being said, it’s going to be hard to resist if one of these top corners is available either with their first-round pick or one of those two second-round picks in the back half of the round.”‘
Bills TE Dawson Knox honored as 21st Call to Courage award winner
‘”This is 21 years of doing this and it’s our way to stay connected to Buffalo and continue to give back,” said Frank Reich, who presented the award at the ‘Call to Courage’ breakfast as the Hyatt Regency in downtown Buffalo this past Saturday. “We’ve been so blessed by that community. This is a special event for us.”‘
NFL draft preview: The more offensive tackles picked early, the better for the Bills
‘The Bills have no need for an offensive tackle this year, so an early run at the position will be helpful before the Bills pick at No. 30 overall, and by the time their picks in the second round come – at Nos. 56 and 62.’
