Breakdown

The Buffalo Bills used to bring in anywhere from 6-12 UDFA after a draft. Now that the roster is much closer to a championship than the 1st overall pick there are fewer opportunities for UDFA to make the roster. However, there still are spots on the practice squad, and after last season, those practice squad spots are much more valuable.

Buffalo Bills

Buffalo has a very complete roster returning almost everyone from last season’s AFC championship run. There have never been fewer roster spots up for grab in Buffalo since the start of the 21st century. Despite this, there is always an undrafted free agent who can snag a roster spot at the beginning of the year.

Combine that with the value of a good practice squad that the Bills can pull players up from on game day and this UDFA class has the potential to make an impact in year one. These guys are all names to watch out for in training camp. If there were one player who has a really good shot of making the Bills roster expect it to be Quintin Morris because of his intriguing upside and the lack of depth at his position.
