Buffalo Bills Draft WR Kaden Prather in Round 7

By Shane Hallam | Updated on Sat, Apr 26 2025 10:33 PM UTC

The Buffalo Bills selected Maryland WR Kaden Prather with the 240th pick of Round 7 in the 2025 NFL Draft. Prather garnered offers from some big-time programs, but he took his talents to West Virginia. After a quiet debut season, he ranked second on the team in catches and third in receiving yards as a sophomore. 2023 brought a move to Maryland, although he never posted true breakout numbers. He ranked third in receiving yards in 2023; second in 2024. This past fall, he tallied just 1.25 yards per route run. He had a 7.09 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) based on his predraft testing. He also ranked 27th among Combine WRs in 2024 Target Share at 19.2%, and 44th among those WRs in PFF Receiving Grade with a 62.2. He is currently 22 years old. He ranked 32nd among WRs in our Draft Sharks predraft Rookie Model scoring a 5.91. Our Comp for him in our Rookie Guide is Josh Reynolds. Prather isn’t an explosive post-catch player, but he’s shown enough of an overall game to garne to make an NFL roster.

2025 Fantasy Football Impact

Prather's teammate, WR Tai Felton, was drafted at the end of Round 3 earlier in the draft.

Prather flashed NFL talent at West Virginia, but never produced consistent stats.

His strength off the line and smooth movement makes Prather intriguing on a Bills team that could have added more weapons.

Dynasty Impact

He isn't relevant for rookie drafts, but keep an eye on potential buzz during training camp.
