Join Josh & Luka as they discuss all things Bills when it comes to the schedule and give their initial thoughts on everything that came to them once it all dropped. What did they initial feel like when it was all known throughout the day of the release? What is their favorite part of it all?

All that & more on this week's Bills Chat Podcast!

The NFL Draft is officially over and the Bills came away with a total of nine new prospects, but how good are the guys feeling after it all shook out? Join Josh & Luka this week as they review all pick from this past weekend and see what they felt with each pick? What are the positive takeaways from each guy? Why all the defensive focus?

(Aired LIVE on YouTube Friday 4/18) With the 2025 NFL Draft less than a week away, that means there is no more talk of how all the position groups look in the prospect pool and its time for the guys to do their annual 1st Round Mock Draft episode and we have decided to do it LIVE!! Join Josh & Luka as they go pick by pick in the 1st round, alternating between each other as to where their research of each team has lead them to believe teams will be taking what at their spot. How will the early board shake up? Where do the guys maybe feel there are trade up opportunities for the Bills as things are progressing? Who will be there for the Bills at pick 30 when all said & done? All that & more on this week's Bills Chat Podcast!

Last up in the position prospect talk is finally bringing the guys to the other side of the ball, with them going into the Wide Receiver & Running Back classes! Join Josh & Luka this week as they finish up their preview series of the NFL Draft prospects talking some offensive skill players that they have their eyes on for that late-April weekend. Who are the receivers that seem to separate themselves from the rest? Is this really even that great of a class?

Last week the guys kicked things off with the evaluation of all the prospects coming up in the 2025 NFL Draft with the "heavyweights" of the defense, but now they are back to talk about their favorite position group; the secondary! Join Josh & Luka this week as they talk about all the Cornerbacks and Safeties they have their eye on in all parts of the draft. Who is their favorite idea when it comes to the 1st round?

All that & more on this week's Bills Chat Podcast!

Draft season is in full force, so of course it's time to get into all the prospects that will be there come draft night! Josh & Luka are back to start breaking down all the prospect groups in the coming weeks and they begin with a "big" one... the defensive line. Who are some of the names up at the top they they like for pick 30? What is it about a few guys that intrigue them the most? Is the defensive line a "sure thing" for the Bills in the 1st round or do these two believe maybe the team will look at other position groups up there in contrast to what a lot of draft experts believe they will do? All that & more on this week's Bills Chat Podcast!

Josh & Luka had a LOT going on personally, but they finally sit down behind the mics to get Season 4 going since the NFL (and much more importantly) the Bills league year has begun! Since last time the guys recorded, plenty has happened with the Bills, between locking up plenty of cornerstones to the roster as well as signing new pieces through free agency. How do the guys feel about the moves so far? How impactful are they to the roster in their respective positions? Do we like the contracts handed out in-house? All that & more on this week's Bills Chat Podcast!

And just like that, the Buffalo Bills season comes to an end in almost the same fashion as it seems to every year... with an effort that sees them not be able to win in the biggest of moments.
