Brandon Beane has earned plenty of criticism over the years, but has he quietly become one of the NFL's best Day 3 drafters? Patrick Moran is joined by PK from the Buffalo Sports Collective to debate that question while breaking down several Buffalo Bills rookies who could become major contributors. The conversation also shifts to Buffalo Sabres offseason developments, including Peyton Krebs' new contract, Patrick Kane rumors, Connor Hellebuyck speculation, and whether Buffalo still needs to make one more significant move before training camp.

• Brandon Beane's Day 3 draft history continues to produce quality NFL contributors, from Christian Benford and Khalil Shakir to Jackson Hawes and Deone Walker.
• Caleb Alarmsor, Skyler Bell, Jalen Kilgore, Jude Bowery, and Zane Durant are discussed as rookie sleepers who could outperform their draft positions.
• The Bills' early-round draft history remains inconsistent, making Day 3 success even more valuable for roster construction.
• The Sabres' offseason remains fluid despite Peyton Krebs signing a new contract, with Patrick Kane and Connor Hellebuyck continuing to dominate speculation.
• Patrick and PK debate whether Buffalo's current goaltending situation is good enough to compete for a playoff spot.
