Overview
- The Bills moved down one slot Saturday, sending No. 101 to the Raiders for a seventh-round pick and selecting Boston College’s Jude Bowry at No. 102.
- Bowry is a 6-foot-5, 314-pound tackle known for elite testing numbers, including top-percentile vertical and broad jumps and a spot on Bruce Feldman’s Freaks list.
- Buffalo views him as a developmental swing tackle with a possible move to guard if needed, which aligns with the depth role once held by Ryan Van Demark.
- Evaluators flag shorter arm length under 34 inches and a dip in 2025 pass protection as concerns, which could make an immediate starting job unlikely.
- The move targets a depth gap after left guard David Edwards signed with the Saints and swing tackle Ryan Van Demark left for the Vikings, a squeeze GM Brandon Beane acknowledged.
