Torrence is a durable and massive right guard with huge hands, good play-strength and a firm anchor. His width and stiff punch make him difficult for power-rushers to work through, and his snatch-trap technique gives him a reliable answer to steal leverage in pass protection. As a run-blocker, Torrence is a sturdy presence that bumps down linemen on double-team feeds, collects movement across his face and uses a nifty jump-hook technique to reach frontside shades. Buffalo's progressively run-heavier structure has helped maximize his strengths while masking middling movement skills and below-average recovery when pulled out of position. Torrence is not a dynamic mover, but his size, anchor, strength and improving craft have settled him into solid starter territory.

Puni pieced together another quality season in 2025, playing every snap for the second straight year and rebounding after a slower start that was partly tied to a preseason knee injury. Initially, the injury appeared to sap some of his ability to brace, absorb force and generate his usual power, but his play stabilized as the season progressed. Puni has a square, sturdy build with good linear explosiveness, foot quickness and enough play-strength to match up physically with most competition. His best reps show the size, balance and power that made him such an encouraging rookie starter, with the ability to create movement in the run game and hold his ground in protection when his posture and timing were right. Inconsistency remains on the technical side. Tardy strike-timing and a wide base can cause his feet to stall, leaving him vulnerable to compression or late losses against longer, powerful rushers. Those lapses are balanced by commanding wins when his leverage and hand-timing are clean. Puni is still refining his positional leverage, weight distribution and strike consistency. However, his durability, traits and early-career play indicate a solid young starter with further growth potential.

Ruiz missed three games last season with ankle issues. When available, he put together the most consistent season of his career. Ruiz showed real growth in pass protection, settling at his spot, playing inside-out on rushers and using improved strike-timing and placement to frame targets and stay in phase during isolated matchups. He was also cleaner sorting stunts, limiting the glaring breakdowns that showed up earlier in his career. In the run game, Ruiz used efficient aiming points, landmarks and footwork to latch, steer and stay attached rather than chasing displacement. That technical step forward allowed his stout frame, heavy hands and power to become more reliable assets. He's still not an elite mover or hand technician, but the steadier down-to-down execution pushed him into solid starter territory.

Booker put together a solid rookie campaign, starting 14 games at right guard after exclusively playing left guard at the collegiate level and missing three games with a high-ankle sprain. Booker is a massive interior blocker with very good width, length and heavy hands. He already understands how to maximize his frame in pass protection. He plays inside-out on rushers, funnels them into his body and uses his stout anchor to engulf most competition once contact is established. His size, strength and physicality allowed him to hold up against premier competition such as Jalen Carter. However, clean losses still showed up when his hands were late, causing him to get stood up and compressed into the pocket. His average redirect ability also shows up against loopers and movement on stunts. Booker is not a high-end mover, but he mitigates that inadequacy by running his feet, closing space and preventing defenders from stretching him into recovery mode. He already brings a nasty, tone-setting presence with the size, anchor and sustain skills to become a long-term quality starter if his hand-timing and processing skills continue to sharpen.
