Buffalo Bills Target High-Upside Prospects in NFL Draft

0:00On March 31st, the Buffalo Bills are rolling into the 2026 NFL Draft with just a handful of spots needing instant help, so general. Manager Brandon Bean might chase players with big upside instead of safe bets. Analyst Bucky Brooks spotlighted 10 wildcard prospects who could flip the board and three stand out as fits for Buffalo running back Mike. Washington Jr. from Arkansas and two linebackers, Harold Perkins Jr. from LSU and Kyle Lewis from Pitt. Mike Washington, a six foot one, 223 pound back who blazed a 4.340 at the combine. His college stats were solid but not elite, with only 800 yard games over five years. Yet Buffalo sees him as a goal line hammer to spare. Josh Allen, those QB runs, Scouts hit Arkansas pro day just for him and he could slide to the third round pick at number 91. Meanwhile, Perkins brings edge rusher flash from his LSU days, notching 13 sacks early

1:00on before an ACL tear in 2024 slowed him. At six foot one and two 23 pounds, he's versatile, could rotate on the edge or hunt in the middle under new coordinator Jim Leonhard, especially with Mammalano still a free agent. Louis from Pitt is another undersized dynamo at five foot 11 and three quarters, 220 pounds who wrecked QBs but raises durability flags as a straight linebacker. He might switch positions long term, giving Buffalo cheap depth at number 126 in round four, bolstering a linebacker room patched with short term safety deals. Buffalo's pass hits like right tackle Spencer Brown show this high ceiling gamble pays off late in the draft, so keep eyes on these three as bean. Builds around that core for another deep playoff push. That's the story for today and if you'll news today driven by AI, I'm Corey with the story.
