‘The Bills currently have no picks from Nos. 61-127 after trading this year’s third-rounder to Green Bay for cornerback Rasul Douglas. But wide gaps between picks are semi-common in Beane’s first six drafts with the Bills – Nos. 17-95 in 2018, Nos. 96-146 in ’19, Nos. 1-53 (no first-round pick) in ’20, Nos. 94-160 in ’21, Nos. 90-147 in ’22 and Nos. 92-149 last year.’

Erik Brady: Buffalo Bills’ iconic logo charges into 50th anniversary
‘”Dad said the old logo looked like a buffalo standing in a field taking a crap,” Tom says, laughing. “He said we needed something new, something moving forward and charging ahead.”’
Signs pointing toward Bills selecting WR at No. 28. But will they?

Bills need wide receiver in NFL draft: Who should they target?
‘Odunze is ranked No. 5 on ESPN’s Mel Kiper’s 2024 big board, accumulating several top-30 visits with teams slated to draft in the top 10. The Washington WR totaled 167 receptions, 2,785 yards and 20 touchdowns during his junior and senior seasons with the Huskies. Odunze is your typical boundary (X) receiver — standing at 6 feet 3 inches — that Buffalo is looking for and would plug right in as a No. 1 option for the Bills franchise gunslinger. He ran a 4.45 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, adding a 39-inch vertical jump. Odunze will be a separator in the NFL that adds ball skills and elite body control. His route-running ability is polished and nuanced. One weakness in Odunze’s game is his ability to separate at the third level using his long speed.’
Assessing the Bills imaginary Super Bowl window a fruitless discussion in topsy-turvy NFL
‘Perhaps the Bills take a step back this season and reach the playoffs as a wild-card, but once a team gets into the tournament, anything can happen. The Giants in 2007 and 2011, the 2012 Ravens, the 2020 Buccaneers and 2021 Rams are all examples of teams that weren’t expected to do much damage but got hot in the playoffs and won the Super Bowl.’

‘That argument was furthered by The Athletic’s Tim Graham during his “Tim Graham and Friends” podcast, where he recalled a situation that occurred between Diggs and Allen after the Bills’ Week 1 overtime loss to the New York Jets.’
What the Stefon Diggs Trade Means for the Futures of the Bills and Texans
‘From there, and GM Brandon Beane said this in his press conference, the Bills are going to try and keep their standards where they’ve been, like the Rams did. In Los Angeles, it took great coaching (from Sean McVay), quarterbacking (from Matthew Stafford) and drafting (digging Puka Nacua, Byron Young and Kobie Turner from the middle rounds), and it’ll take the same in Buffalo, putting the onus on Sean McDermott, Allen and Beane to get it done.’
Evaluating the wide receiver class of the 2024 NFL Draft; who could be a fit for the Buffalo Bills
‘There is plenty of time until the season, but following the Stefon Diggs trade, the Bills wide receiver room includes only three players who caught passes in the NFL last season (Shakir, Samuel, Hollins). Those three players combined for just 119 catches, with Samuel leading the way with 62. Diggs alone had 107 catches in 2023.’
