According to the Bills website, Bradham and Brown are expected to play at ILB.
I'd expect Bradham to play weak side, and Brown will be the, "Mike," at strong side ILB.
Jerry Hughes is the primary pass rusher at outside linebacker. He's the, "Jack."
The other OLB in a 3-4 defense is supposed to be able to cover, blitz, and play the run.
Brandon Spikes can blitz and play the run, but he's a liability against the pass.
Who fits in as the Bills 4th linebacker?
Ty Powell? 6'2 249 lbs
Jimmy Gaines? 6'3 240 lbs
Bryan Johnson? 6'4 250 lbs
Randell Johnson? 6'4 245 lbs
Manny Lawson? 6'5 240 lbs (turns 31 in July).
Possible 2nd or 3rd round Outside Linebackers in the 2015 NFL Draft:
Nate Orchard, 6'3 250 lbs.
Owa Odighizuwa, 6'3 267 lbs.
Lorenzo Mauldin, 6'4 259 lbs.
Hau'Oli Kikaha, 6'2 253 lbs.
