Bills draft Skyler Bell at 125

The Buffalo Bills used the No. 125 overall pick on UConn wide receiver Skyler Bell in the fourth round of the 2026 National Football League Draft. (buffalobills.com) (nfl.com) Buffalo’s official draft announcement listed Bell at 5-foot-11 and 192 pounds and pointed to his 2025 production: 101 receptions, 1,278 yards and 13 touchdowns for the Huskies. (buffalobills.com 1) (buffalobills.com 2) National Football League combine data showed Bell ran an official 4.40-second 40-yard dash, posted a 41-inch vertical jump and an 11-foot-1 broad jump. NFL.com gave him a 6.31 prospect grade and said he will “eventually be plus starter.” (nfl.com 1) (nfl.com 2) (nfl.com 3) Bell told the Bills he sees versatility as part of his case, saying he can play “inside, outside” and calling himself “explosive.” Buffalo’s post-pick writeup said he was the team’s second offensive selection after lineman Jude Bowry at No. 102. (buffalobills.com) That matters for a Bills receiver room that Buffalo Rumblings described in February as needing an overhaul. CBS Sports’ team grades said picks No. 125 and No. 126 addressed needs at the right value. (buffalorumblings.com) (cbssports.com) Bell’s path also ran through two programs. He redshirted at Wisconsin in 2021, played there from 2021 through 2023, then finished at UConn before becoming Buffalo’s fourth-round pick. (nfl.com) (badgerswire.usatoday.com) UConn said Bell became the first Huskies skill-position player drafted since the 2015 draft. The school also noted he joins former UConn tackle Chase Lundt, whom Buffalo drafted in the sixth round a year earlier. (uconnhuskies.com) PFF’s draft guide called Bell a productive slot receiver, and its pre-draft receiving data put him first in the class in yards after the catch per reception at 8.2. Buffalo drafted him 125th overall; now the question is whether that college production carries into Josh Allen’s offense. (pff.com 1) (pff.com 2)
