Summary

The Buffalo Bills just shook up their roster with eight Day 3 draft picks, but did Brandon Beane find the missing pieces for a Super Bowl run?

Joe Marino breaks down each new addition, spotlighting Skyler Bell’s game-breaking potential, Jude Bowry’s athletic upside, and how linebacker Kaleb Elarms-Orr might become Jim Leonhard’s favorite weapon. From special teams upgrades with Tommy Doman at punter to concerns about depth at corner and fullback, all the big questions are on the table. Are these moves enough to fix last year’s weaknesses and power the Bills through a tough AFC? Tune in and find out if this class is the spark Buffalo’s been waiting for.
