Max Borghi (Mandatory Credit: Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports) /

230th Overall: Max Borghi, RB Washington State

Measurables: 5-9, 195lbs.

2021 Stats: 176 Touches, 1036 scrimmage yards, 12 touchdowns.

Buffalo should not be drafting for massive upside in the seventh round but niche skills that could be utilized on game day. Max Borghi has a niche skill and one that Brandon Beane is looking for.

Borghi is fast, and his best ability is receiving out of the backfield. Borghi could maybe develop a little of a run game in the NFL, but he strictly projects as a third-down back at the moment. Borghi is available late because his production has dipped a bit since his star sophomore season, where he had 600 yards receiving and 16 total touchdowns.

Borghi would likely be a longshot to make the roster, but with his speed and receiving ability, he would have some skills that the Buffalo Bills’ backfield currently lacks, opening up an avenue for a roster spot. I usually am not a fan of player comparisons but in the ability to be slightly humorous Borghi is essentially a Dollar General version of Christian McCaffery.

245th Overall: Cole Kelley, QB Southeastern Louisiana University

Measurables: 6-7, 260lbs.

2021 Stats: 5,124 yards passing, 491 rushing yards, 60 total TD’s, 10 INTs

At the quarterback position, Buffalo currently only has Josh Allen under contract. Last season Buffalo went into training camp with four quarterbacks and kept all four until Jake Fromm was signed off their practice squad midway through the regular season.

Moves will be made here, so why not a seventh-rounder who is actually bigger than Josh Allen. While this pick was more for fun, I did not see a single seventh-rounder who was on the draft board who I thought could make the Bills roster. Because of position, a quarterback was likely the only one to have a chance.

Enter Cole Kelley, who is a massive human being. As you would expect, he has a strong arm, but he is surprisingly athletic for his size. He lacks touch and timing, and he played against lower-tier competition at Southeastern Louisiana after an average career at Arkansas.

Kelley is a unique prospect (Basically Tyree Jackson 2.0) that could move to tight end in the league if he wants a career. Still, for now, it’s cool to imagine Josh Allen being the smallest player in the Buffalo Bills’ quarterback room.
