Buffalo Rumblings
Your place to discuss and keep track of potential players for the Bills at the Senior Bowl
The Reese’s Senior Bowl is one of the first signs that the offseason has begun. The annual all-star game is set for 2:30 p.m. this afternoon in Mobile, AL, and you can tach the game on the NFL Network or the NFL app.
Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott referenced the importance of having two or three “difference makers” on each side of the ball. The Bills appear to lack a few of these difference makers, and the 2025 NFL Draft is a chance for Buffalo to fill at least one of those voids.
After watching the Senior Bowl practices this week, here are some prospects I find intriguing for the Bills at the 2025 Senior Bowl. These prospects aren’t ranked by “value.” To keep it simple, I listed a handful of prospects at various positions I think One Bills Drive might have interest.
Rivers took reps at every position along the offensive line throughout the week at the Senior Bowl. Buffalo’s offensive line is pretty stacked right now, but having a capable player in the wings in case of injury is important. Rivers provides some versatility and we know the Bills covet that. I don’t expect Buffalo to spend any picks on an offensive lineman until Day 3, and Rivers should be taken around that time.
One of the only offensive linemen at the Senior Bowl that is truly pegged as a tackle only, Trapilo is one of the biggest guys in Mobile, AL — standing a massive 6’7 1/2” and weighing 321 pounds. Does this remind you of anyone on the Bills? Spencer Brown is 6’8” and 311 pounds. Buffalo loves their athletic freaks and anomalies, and Trapilo fits into that mold as a late-round flyer.
Every year I don’t believe the Bills will draft a running back before the last couple of rounds, and every year they seem to do it anyway. Their running back stable is set if Ty Johnson comes back, which I assume he will. However, James Cook’s contract is up after the 2025 NFL season and he will need to be paid a pretty penny. Having a back developing in the wings like Ray Davis and another rookie this year might serve them well.
A bigger back who has some burst to make things exciting. Would be a fun Day 3 option for the Bills to see what he can bring to the table.
Yarns had 62 receptions for 807 yards and 11 TDs in three years at Delaware. He also excelled in his one-on-one matchups out of the backfield at the Senior Bowl. Ty Johnson holds the “third-down back” role for the Bills, but his contract is up. If Johnson doesn't return, the Bills could look...
