Overview
- Buffalo selected Skyler Bell at No. 125 in the fourth round on Saturday, adding a yards-after-catch threat with verified 4.40-second speed.
- Bell became UConn’s first consensus All-American in 2025 with 101 catches for 1,278 yards and 13 touchdowns after transferring from Wisconsin, and he posted a 41-inch vertical at the Combine.
- Scouts cited drops, loose route technique, limited play through contact and his age at 24 as the main reasons he was available on Day 3.
- Joining DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer and Tyrell Shavers, his arrival has prompted outside speculation about a Keon Coleman trade this summer.
- Media reaction labeled the pick a potential steal, with analyst Dave Helman calling Bell “Ja’Marr Chase lite,” while Bills leaders said they like his inside-outside versatility and contested-catch wins.
