When the Buffalo Bills entered the 2026 NFL Draft, they had just seven picks that did not include a second round pick, since it was sent to the Chicago Bears to acquire wide receiver DJ Moore. However, Brandon Beane worked his magic with a couple of trades and gained three additional picks to pick ten players to add to the roster.

It started out with selecting T.J. Parker early in the second round, and it was concluded late in the 7th round by selecting Ar’Maj Reed-Adams. In between, the Bills selected a great amount of players and with the last reported rookie signing, the Bills officially have all of their rookies under contract.

The Buffalo Bills announced that they agreed to terms on a four-year deal with offensive lineman, Jude Bowry, who the Bills selected with the 102nd pick early in the 4th round. The Bills drafted him out of Boston College, in which he will be great depth but could also earn playing time as soon as this season.

Bills officially have entire rookie draft class under contract

Coming out of Boston College, Bowry has primarily been at tackle, but there is a chance that he could shift to guard and he might even get a chance to compete for the starting left guard position with Alec Anderson and Austin Corbett.

Lance Lysowski from The Buffalo News reported that the Bills listed Bowry as a guard, with the intention to cross train him with both positions. Lysowski also said that Bowry was at the right tackle position at practice this past Wednesday.

The Bowry pick is an interesting one because he can provide versatility across the offensive line. Not to mention, the left guard position is up for grabs going into training camp and RG O’Cyrus Torrence is entering a contract year as well. Bowry will have the chance to compete for a starting job role very soon if he impresses early on.

Bowry brings a lot of overlooked value and he will get the chance to display why the Bills decided to spend an early 4th-round pick on him. He doesn’t need to start right away so if he doesn’t, that gives him time to improve his game with the hope that he can become a long-term contributor to the offensive line to protect Josh Allen.
