The Buffalo Bills addressed a need and added speed to the middle of their defense.
Buffalo drafted TCU linebacker Kaleb Elarms-Orr with the No. 126 overall pick in the fourth round on Satuday.
Elarms-Orr was a first-team All-Big 12 selection in 2025 after ranking ninth in FBS with 130 tackles. He also led TCU with 11 tackles for loss and four sacks, giving Buffalo an athletic linebacker with range and upside.
He also had a Top 30 visit with the Bills before the draft.
"I loved it," Elarms-Orr said. "I love Buffalo. I love the city. Got to meet the whole staff. Everybody was warm and welcoming. It was my type of spot for sure."
Elarms-Orr described himself as a do-it-all linebacker.
"I pride myself on the versatility of my game, being a three-phase linebacker," Elarms-Orr said. "Stop the run, stop the pass and affect the quarterback,"
Here is how draft experts graded the pick:
Buffalo once again addresses a potential sore spot for new coordinator Jim Leonhard's defense with Elarms-Orr. The Bills need to turn the page over the middle, and they get a bit of needed athleticism here. If Elarms-Orr grows more comfortable in coverage, he could provide substantial value.
Grade: B
Buffalo is just checking boxes of its list of needs to address in this draft class. It will be a competitive position battle in training camp with the likes of Terrel Benard and Dorian Williams. (Josh Edwards)
Grade: C+
I had Kaleb Elarms-Orr going at this exact pick in my mock draft, so I have to like it. The Bills desperately needed linebacker help, and Elarms-Orr is a fine pick here as an athletic linebacker with upside.
Grade: B+
