Buffalo Bills rookies report to training camp

The Buffalo Bills welcomed their new class of rookies to training camp on Tuesday, unofficially kicking off the 2024 NFL Summer Camp at St. John Fisher University. It’s almost time for organized workouts and plenty of on-field news, Bills Mafia!

Western New York, the Finger Lakes and Genesee regions, central New York and other areas have been plagued by inclement weather. Several severe storms have hit these areas, knocking out power and, worse, many areas near New York State’s many lakes.

Hopefully the worst is behind us and training camp will continue uninterrupted, but if you know anything about the City of Flowers, you should know that the weather can change every 10 minutes. Your humble team here at Bison rumbles was no exception to the crazy weather conditions – so we’ll do our best to keep you updated on everything happening in Rochester and beyond Bills-related before camp kicks off.

Remember, training camp doesn’t officially begin until next week. We’ll use this space to review Buffalo’s 2024 recruiting class before they take to Fisher Field in Pittsford, NY.

So how did each rookie land with the Bills? Your recap follows below…

The Buffalo Bills entered the 2024 NFL Draft with 11 picks at their disposal, and left the draft with 10 new players. As usual, general manager Brandon Beane was very active in his moves. Instead of a projected move up for a receiver, Beane moved down twice and came out of the first round to start things off for Buffalo. Here’s how it all played out:

Trade 1
(points in parentheses = Rich Hill’s trade value table)

• Invoices received: 32 (184 pts), 95 (40 pts), 221 (2pts) = 226
• The leaders received: 28 (209 pts), 133 (18 pts), 248 (1 pt) = 227
  A transaction almost equal to the results of this transaction

Trade 2
(points in parentheses = Rich Hill’s trade value table)

• Invoices received: 33 (180 pts), 141 (14 pts) = 194 pts
• Panthers received: 32 (184 pts), 200 (5 pts) = 189 pts
  Invoices with a net gain as a result of this transaction
