Joe Marino· Apr 28, 2026
Reviewing Buffalo's 10-man 2026 draft class, Moreno projects year-one roles: Parker as the No. 3/4 edge, Igbinosin as CB3, Bowery competing for swing tackle and the eighth O-line jersey, Bell as WR5/6, Elarms-Or as a special-teams/situational linebacker, Kilgore as safety 3, Durant as a rotational interior lineman, Pride as CB4, Doman battling for the starting punter job, and Reid Adams likely released to the practice squad.
“So TJ Parker edged three four, but a position that sees the field a decent amount.”
