Why Bills GM Brandon Beane feels good ahead of Thursday's draft and shares which position group is the strongest
‘”(We’re) making sure we’re on the same page,” Beane said about the lead-up to Thursday. “Maybe we graded the player and we’re thinking this guy maybe doesn’t start year two, does this year one. You’re just trying to get on the same page of some of those things because that kind of helps you assign the value of where you would take the player. Are you taking them as a role player this year and a future starter? Are you taking them hopefully to start year one?”‘
Why QB Josh Allen feels healthier than usual as offseason activities begin, inside CB Tre'Davious White's Buffalo or Bust journey
‘”Really didn’t have any ailments. I didn’t take too many hits this last year as the least sacked quarterback in the league,” Allen said. “And that’s thanks to the type of scheme that we’re running and how well our offensive line played. So the body felt good.”‘

Bills Roundtable: Debating five questions entering this week's NFL draft
‘The Bills should consider a corner in the first round if they feel that player can quickly develop into a No. 1-type player. I really like Kentucky’s Maxwell Hairston, so would be fine with him being the pick.’
What does an NFL player feel as he waits to get drafted? Five things to know from an insider's perspective
‘“No matter where they’re getting picked, if they’re supposed to be a first-round pick, a Day 2 pick, a Day 3 pick, it doesn’t matter. It’s stressful. … Day 3 in particular is a super-long day: (starts) at noon; Round 7 ends at like 6:30 or 7 (p.m.); and it’s just a long time. And you see a bunch of people at your position that are taken, and there’s always questions or wondering how this happened. And it can just be really hard.”‘
Buffalo Bills 2025 NFL first-round draft options, including players worth trading up for
‘Nothing should surprise Bills fans when the draft commences Thursday. It’s possible that Beane will use some of his draft capital (he has 10 picks) to move up in the first round to get a player he covets with a first-round grade. He could stick and pick the best player available at 30. Or he could trade out of the round, get better value in the second round, and possibly pick up a much-needed third-round pick in the process.’
Bills NFL Draft 2025: Two insiders link Buffalo to surprising position in the first round
‘Despite seeming to be set at linebacker, two NFL insiders have named Buffalo as a potential fit for UCLA linebacker Carson Schwesinger.’
What do the Bills need to improve to win the Super Bowl?
‘Wide receiver is the single most urgent need for Buffalo. Since selecting Josh Allen in 2018, the Bills have only drafted one wide receiver (Gabe Davis, Round 4) and two tight ends (Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox) in the first four rounds. That is a glaring developmental gap. Dalton Kincaid was a positive addition in 2023, but low-impact signings like Trent Sherfield and Deonte Harty failed to move the needle.’
Choices abound for the Bills as the NFL draft appears more unpredictable than usual
‘The current order of the first round remains intact for the first time in the common draft era (1970), with no trades made. It’s also not seen as a top-heavy draft, which means the Buffalo Bills have plenty of options with the 30th pick.’
Assessing the best first-round draft picks in Bills history

Thrilled to be wrong: Buffalo Bills fans reflect on their 2018 Josh Allen hot takes
‘Seven years ago this week, the Buffalo Bills selected quarterback Josh Allen out of Wyoming with the No. 7 pick in the NFL draft. The reaction across Western New York at the time included quite a bit of horror.’
Bills draft picks through the years have run the gamut from greatness to no-shows
‘During the 1970s, the Bills made history by losing 20 consecutive games to the Miami Dolphins, a futility record that may never be matched. One of the reasons for their struggles against Miami and so many other teams (51-91-2 record for the decade) was their horrible track record on draft day. Of the 12 players they selected in the first round of the 1970s drafts, seven were flat out busts.’
Bills Draft Day Decisions: Defensive line
‘Defensive tackle is one of the most significant needs facing the Bills in terms of roster construction entering the 2025 NFL Draft. Defensive tackle DaQuan Jones is not getting any younger and is coming off a season in which he failed to make much of an impact. With Jones’ ability fading, that left fellow DT Ed Oliver on an island and Oliver failed to live up to the career year he recorded the season prior.’
