The NFL Draft is over in the blink of an eye, and the Buffalo Bills are now filling out the rest of their roster with rumored undrafted free agents and low-level unsigned veterans. GM Brandon Beane made some draft picks that were shocking to Bills fans, and some that they loved that they viewed as future stars. But what about some players that didn't get drafted? Can any of them crack this 53-man roster? The roster is deep at many positions, but some more notable undrafted players have a chance to make the team at more thinner positions. It's important to note that while these signings were reported by credible reporters, they aren't made official until the team announces them.
The Bills added to the running back position a couple of times this past weekend, drafting Ray Davis along with the reported signing of Frank Gore Jr after the draft concluded, as Jordan Schultz reported. After losing Damien Harris and Latavius Murray, and not signing anyone in free agency to replace them, Gore Jr has a legit shot at making the roster as Davis' backup. Keeping four running backs on the active roster is something that the team hasn't done too often with this regime, most recently in 2022 with Devin Singletary, Zack Moss, James Cook, and Taiwan Jones. Now with another crowded backfield with plenty of talent, they could opt to do the same this year.
Another reason they could look to keep four players in the backfield again this year is they haven't done too much to replace the production of Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis. Curtis Samuel and Keon Coleman are fine players, but neither likely step into the Diggs role and perform as an All-Pro WR1 this year. So, keeping another running back allows them the option to go more ground and pound while they figure out the wide receiver room.
