Hey everyone, if you were intrigued enough the first time to walk with me on the path of the Mandalorian (wannabe), I’m back with a little more on the project. If you’re just joining us the short recap is that a friend of mine bought us Black Series Star Wars helmets and we’re making them Bills themed. I, of course, am making Buffalo Rumblings readers suffer through my overly convoluted process.

The most astonishing comment from the post-2026 NFL Draft press conference of Buffalo Bills president of football operations/general manager Brandon Beane was his take on the cornerback position.

“As we started this draft, I thought that the biggest hole on our roster was corner,” said Beane in front of the assembled media at One Bills Drive following the initially surprising second-round selection of cornerback Davison Igbinosun.

In my post-draft question-answering article, I laid out the outside cornerback depth chart before the 2026 draft. It was a group headlined by entrenched starters Christian Benford and Maxwell Hairston yet featured Te’Corey Couch...

Clemson edge rusher T.J. Parker was projected as a first-round pick in the NFL Draft following a 2024 season that saw him dominate in the ACC, amassing 11 sacks with 19.5 tackles for a loss and six forced fumbles.

Then, last year, Parker’s productivity dropped off, and he managed only five sacks with 9.5 tackles for a loss, and his stock took a bit of a hit.

While many pundits viewed Parker as still being a first-round talent, he fell out of the first round and was available when Brandon Beane and the Buffalo Bills were on the clock with...

Zach Benson is a 20-year-old terrifically talented, ultra-pesky, super-skilled Buffalo Sabres forward who has ascended to cult hero status with dazzling, bordering-on-dirty play throughout the regular season and particularly during the team’s first-round defeat of the Boston Bruins.

It got me thinking.

Who is Zach Benson on the Buffalo Bills?

After the team’s series-clinching win over the Bruins, I sent this tweet, in search of a Benson nickname:

By the time I started writing this article, it had 82 replies with spectacular suggestions such as River Rat, Scrappy Doo, Benny the Butcher, Bennis the Menace, and Carnie.

I first thought...

Now that the dust has settled on the 2026 NFL Draft, the next major story-line for this off-season will be the release of this season’s schedule. It is always a time of year that is met with much anticipation for Bills fans, but there is certainly something a bit extra this year with the opening of the new Highmark Stadium.

One of the biggest questions around the schedule release each season revolves around the home opener, which many treat like a national holiday around Western New York. There are plenty of enticing options this season, with eight of 17 contests...

The Buffalo Bills added 10 college football prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft, but only two of those picks—Clemson edge rusher T.J. Parker (pictured below) and Ohio State cornerback Davison Igbinosun—came in the first three rounds.

In a draft widely thought to be devoid of instant impact players, president of football operations/general manager Brandon Beane opted to stockpile picks and play a volume game, hoping that by taking swings on Parker and Igbinosun and bringing in eight players on Day 3 of the draft, he could “add more depth and competition” instead of trying to use the team’s first-round pick...

The Buffalo Bills picked Texas A&M offensive lineman Ar’maj Reed-Adams in the seventh round at No. 241 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft. They acquired the selection in a sixth-round trade with the Chicago Bears. The other pick in that deal (No. 239) netted the Bills punter Tommy Doman Jr.

This is the ninth and final piece in my rookie profile series, which provided a detailed look into my pre-draft thoughts on all the Bills’ 2026 draft selections minus the aforementioned punter, whom I did not evaluate before the draft.
