Brandon Beane is rebuilding the Bills roster by adding some potentially outstanding depth. A few of these guys could be future starters too, with some hidden gems. Keon Coleman, the first pick of the Bills draft will be expected to have an impact in year one and new safety Cole Bishop could push for a starting role as well. The Bills' other picks, defensive tackle DeWayne Carter, running back Ray Davis, and center Sedrick Van Pran-Granger all add solid depth at the positions of need.
With the 160th pick of the NFL Draft, the Bills add linebacking depth with the selection of Edefuan Ulofoshio out of Washington He slots in as a backup, with Matt Milano and Terrel Bernard entrenched as the starters, but Ulofoshio will need to find his way onto the roster via special teams, with current backups Dorian Williams and Baylon Spector already on the roster. Here is what Bills Mafia is saying about the Bills' newest linebacker.

Quick and instinctive move to the hole, but outstanding move to shed the block and make the play. Love the fact he reacted to the play without hesitation.

Outstanding coverage linebacker, which we know is critical for any linebacker in the Buffalo Bills defensive scheme.
Edefuan Ulofoshio was drafted in round 5 pick 160 in the 2024 draft class. He scored a 9.67 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 95 out of 2889 LB from 1987 to 2024. https://t.co/bzNGCwQ21S pic.twitter.com/pvHZgTcqFa

Edefuan Ulofoshio has some special athleticism and that will serve him very well at the next level. If he can learn the NFL game, he possesses all the traits to be an excellent linebacker in the NFL.
Edefuan Ulofoshio was a finalist for the Butkus Award (nation’s top LB), was a team captain and recorded 94 tackles, 8 TFL, 3 sacks, INT and 3 PBU’s in 2023.

Former walk-on who grew up in Alaska. #BillsMafia
Well, hailing from Alaska, I think it's safe to say he will have no problem playing in the weather that Buffalo has to offer. For the Bills to get one of the country's top collegiate linebackers this late in the draft, could prove to be a steal. Maybe the Bills just found another Matt Milano.
