Buffalo Bills Snag Athletic Linebacker Elarms-Orr

0:00On April 25th, the Buffalo Bills snagged what many call their best pick of the 2026 NFL draft at number 126 overall. TCU linebacker Caleb Elarms, OR. This guy feels a huge need at linebacker, where Buffalo struggled last season, and he's got the tools to push for playing time right away as a rookie. He's 6 with 2, 234 pounds, and a total freak athlete with an 86 athleticism score at the Combine, 3rd best 4, linebackers. Ran a 4.47 in the 40 yard dash and leaped a 40 inch vertical. Coming off a monster senior year, with 130 tackles, 11 for loss, and 4 sacks. Now he's joining a linebacker group led by Terrell Bernard and Dorian Williams, both former third rounders who are penciled in as starters for now. But neither lit it up in 2025, so alarms or speed and range could shake things up quick, especially under new defensive coordinator, Jim Leonhard.

1:00Bill Scouts had him on their radar early, meeting him pre-draft, and grabbed him at the perfect spot late in his projection range. After some shaky trades and picks up top, this feels like they steadied the ship in the middle rounds. With two fifth rounders at 167 and 168, plus number 220 in the 7th, still to go. Starting depth, alarms or checks every box need, skills, upside, and he could be the spark that elevates their defense next fall. That's the story for today, NFL News Today, driven by AI.
