OBL 4/10: Greg Cosell Breaks Down LB Prospects, Friday Fan Mailbag

April 10, 2026·1 hr 29 min·8 clips

NFL Films' Greg Cosell breaks down the linebacker prospects the Buffalo Bills desperately need in this year's draft.

Linebacker Friday opens plainly. Chris Graf and Steve Tasker set up another draft-heavy show, with Greg Cosell due to go through inside linebacker prospects. The roster math matters. The Bills come off as a team that may move from five or six active linebackers to about eight, depending on how the outside guys count. Seven picks drive a lot of this. Graf says the Bills will probably take at least one linebacker somewhere in that group. Then Tasker takes it where Tasker tends to take it. He talks about culture as something football exposes when a player is hurting and has to show what he really wants. It gets blunt. If a player is not the right fit, the first better option with the right makeup can make him expendable fast. The mailbag resets the room. RJ asks for birthday thoughts from Tasker and for each host's top two or three Bills prospects. Tasker starts with the catch: the players he loves may not be there, which is the whole problem with pick 26. CJ Allen gets the strongest push. Tasker likes the Georgia linebacker for personality, athletic ability, pedigree, leadership, and the way he lifts the floor around him. Christian Miller comes next. Ruben Bain and Sonny Styles get mentioned as players he likes but does not expect to last. It is loose, not slick. The ending wanders into Tasker's birthday messages, old football friends from Dodge City, Kansas, and more draft talk Monday.
