On this milestone episode No. 1300 of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Buffalo Rumblings team site producer Chris Trapasso to discuss several Buffalo Bills topics, including a look at the personnel changes we can expect on the 2026 Bills defense and what Chris thought of Buffalo’s recent draft class haul.

Chris has been around the NFL media in various capacities for a number of years and just this past week signed on to lead SB Nation’s Buffalo Bills section, Buffalo Rumblings. Chris discusses the process of getting the job and how he plans on bringing his creativity and connections to help further along what’s been a very good resource of news and entertainment for Bills fans.

One of the biggest offseason stories for the Bills, of course was the firing of head coach Sean McDermott and promotion of Joe Brady. One of the most important moves Brady made was hiring Jim Leonhard as his defensive coordinator. Chris reflects back a few months on Brady’s decision and how he feels about the various personnel pieces Buffalo has added to the defense and how he expects these guys to contribute.

Obviously that includes a recent draft class that saw the first two and six of the first eight Bills selections come on the defensive side of the ball. Chris talks about why he liked Kalem Elarms-Orr as much as he did before the draft, some of the things he’s looking forward to shaking out now that he’s covering the team full-time and plenty more.
