Bills GM gets testy with radio hosts over NFL draft criticism
‘”Well, you guys were bitching in 2018 about Josh Allen, you guys wanted Josh Rosen, and now you guys are bitching that we don’t have a receiver,” Beane said when asked what he meant. “… We just scored 30 points in a row for eight straight games. A year ago, I get you guys asking why we didn’t have receivers, but I don’t understand it now. You just saw us lead the league in points, when you add all the postseason, no one scored more points than the Buffalo Bills, including the Super Bowl champions. So, you just saw us do it without Stefon Diggs, same group. How is this group not better than last year’s group? Our job is to score points and win games. Where do we need to get better? Defense. We did that. So, I get it, you got to have a show, and you got to have something to bitch about, but bitching about wide receiver is one of the dumbest arguments I’ve heard.”‘

You've met Max Hairston, the Bills' No. 1 draft pick. Catch up on the rest of their draft class here
‘It was no secret the Buffalo Bills needed to address their defensive interior at some point in the NFL draft. They did so early in the second round Friday night, swinging a trade to move up and choose Sanders. He finished with 50 tackles (seven for loss) and four sacks last season. General manager Brandon Beane said he wanted to add “another guy to pair with Ed (Oliver) on clear passing downs. But we could still play him at one (technique) if we wanted to.” Beane said Sanders’ more natural position, however, is the three-technique, between the guard and tackle.’
