Analyst Believes Bills Final-Round Draft Has 'Tools' To Be Roster Surprise
Analyst Believes Bills Final-Round Draft Has 'Tools' To Be Roster Surprise originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Six of the nine 2025 draft picks by the Buffalo Bills last April showed the focus on the defensive side of the ball. Five of the first picks were concentrated on that side as well.

But what if the organization's most underrated selection from this past draft wasn't on the defensive side of the ball? What if it was actually the team's last selection that left the biggest impact?
That's what NFL reporter Ronnie Eastham is arguing with seventh-round receiver Kaden Prather. Locked in a loaded receiving room, Pratham will have to earn not just a roster spot, but any playing time at all.
"There hasn't been a lot of talk about Bills' rookie wide receiver Kaden Prather immediately following the draft, but at nearly 6'4", over 200 pounds, with a 4,47 40-time, Prather has the tools," Eastham reported. "He also had a solid showing at the Bills' rookie minicamp.
"Prather was praised for his route running and impressive catches during the two-day rookie camp. Prather is a long shot to make the Bills' 53-man roster and will likely be a practice squad candidate to begin his career."

There's one problem with the Bills and their seventh-rounder, though. He's involved in a depth chart that is completely loaded with higher draft picks, and name free agent acquisitions.
Whether it's second-year starter Keon Coleman, newly signed free agent Joshua Palmer, or bottom of the roster candidates in Laviska Shenault, there's no guarantee that the Bills will have a spot for Prather.
At the very least, the rookie has a long way to go.
