Bleav in Bills

The Sabres have taken control of their opening round playoff series against Boston with two road wins, including an absolutely dominating effort in a 6-1 final in game four Sunday. Buffalo comes home with a 3-1 series lead and a chance to clinch Tuesday night at KeyBank Center. Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana discussed how and why the series turned, and what it will take to finish it on Tuesday night.

The grades on the 2026 Bills draft range from a straight A to barely passing. As always, we won't know the true answer for a number of years, but if anything, Bills GM and President of Football Operations Brandon Beane and his staff were deliberate in their approach. He (we think wisely) traded out of the first round and addressed some key positions, along with a somewhat surprising emphasis on cornerback. Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana have a full review.

Thursday night was about what Bills GM/President of Football Operations Brandon Beane didn't do - that was make a first round pick. Instead, as we expected, he trade down three times and out of the first round, adding picks and no doubt aligning those picks to what the Bills have evaluated with players that match value. After trading his second round pick for receiver DJ Moore, he starts Friday night near the top of the second round at 35, and has added to the haul, giving him many options moving forward. Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana share takes on why this made sense.

The complexion of the opening round series between the Bruins and Sabres has changed after Boston's strong response with a 4-2 win in game two. No miracle comeback for Buffalo as was the case in game one. The Bruins have gained the edge with their physical, slow it down style that has negated the Sabres advantage in speed. Add to that, Buffalo now faces serious questions in goal. Matt Fairburn is the Sabres beat reporter for The Athletic. He joined Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana as the series shifts to TD Garden tied 1-1.

Bills GM/President of Football Operations Brandon Beane made a point on Monday that so many of us have concluded about this year's draft. Without giving the actual number, he said that they are on the "low end" of where they typically are in terms of first round grades. That further supports the argument to try and trade down from the 26th pick. We think Beane will certainly try to do that if he can find a partner. Assuming he can't, Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana talk about six different areas of need for Buffalo and players they could conceivably take in that spot.

The Bills have started with the voluntary offseason workout program. There's a whole lot that's different and at the top of that list is head coach Joe Brady in the wake of Sean McDermott's firing. Former Bills offensive lineman Jerry Ostroski joins Adam and Sal for his thoughts on this offseason of change, and Brady's impact moving forward.
