Round 4, No. 125 overall: Skyler Bell, WR, UConnRound 4, No. 125 overall: Skyler Bell, WR, UConn

My take: The Bills addressed the wide receiver room with Bell, who was the only FBS player to finish in the top five in receptions, receiving yards and touchdown catches last season. His yards after catch ability (833 yards after the catch in 2025, second most in FBS) and experience with high volume makes him a fit for what the Bills look for.

He also has ability in the slot and outside and adds a playmaking ability. He has similar qualities to [Khalil Shakir] (https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4373678/khalil-shakir), but bringing in Bell will help Joe Brady move players around the field.

Sigh!!

Have a generational talent at QB and you draft more of the same players!

We just finished recording the pod. @Undisciplined and I both liked this pick for you. Haha

Haha I hate the pick. Under 6ft will get swallowed up on the outside.

I said on the pod I think the Bills are taking a lot of safe picks. Guys that aren't likely to be busts but aren't likely to be home runs.

Isn't that what they should be doing at this point in the their window? Rather than trying to hit a bunch of homers and have guys that give no help to the current team which is trying to win a SB.

I am not sure that will lead to success. All of this investment in the defense since the Josh Allen era started is leading to bad beats in the playoffs.

Then we bring in scraps off the wavier wire and then get upset when they don’t make big plays (Brandin Cooks). Playing it safe while relying on Josh to do everything has not gotten us to a superbowl plus Josh is entering year 9. So he will slow down and he’s not a true QB like Burrow so picking all of these “safe” picks will lead to a slow and steady decline.

Bills fans are in denial but I think Josh Allen’s Super Bowl window has closed. Ruined by a GM who failed to support him on getting him top notch pass catchers.
