Bleav in Bills

CB Tre'Davious White shows early promise in his return to Buffalo Jul 25, 2025

Show notes

We all know the history. Cornerback Tre'Davious White was Sean McDermott's first draft pick as Bills head coach back in 2017. Despite tremendous talent, his first seven years in Buffalo were marred by ACL and Achilles injuries. White spent time with the Rams and Ravens after Buffalo made the decision to move on after 2023. This year he's back looking to be the answer at CB2 at least early while the Bills groom first round pick Max Hairston. Sal and Adam join with takes on White and other key storylines through three days of Bills camp over in Pittsford.

Bills target key areas of need in first three rounds of draft Apr 26, 2025

Show notes

Cornerback and defensive line, not necessarily in that order, were the biggest areas of need for the Buffalo Bills heading into the draft, and that's exactly where GM Brandon Beane went over the first three rounds. Buffalo selected cornerback Max Hairston with the 30th overall pick, traded up to get South Carolina defensive tackle TJ Sanders in the second round, and in the process added a third round pick which they used on Arkansas edge rusher Landon Jackson.

Show notes

The NFL Draft begins Thursday night and the Bills will start the first round with the 30th pick. Will they stay put, will they trade up or trade back? Brandon Beane certainly has options and to help us break down how some of those options might play out, Sal welcomes CBS Sports draft analyst Chris Trapasso to the show. Chris does a great job evaluating college prospects, and he had plenty to offer as the Bills ponder defensive tackles, cornerbacks and edge rushers, both in the first round and then in the second.
