‘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
‘The Bills have made 57 first-round picks since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger and 15 have become Pro Bowlers. They also had 17 top-10 picks, five of whom made a Pro Bowl in Buffalo.’
Buffalo Bills bring back CB Tre'Davious White on one-year deal
‘White, the Bills’ 2017 first-round draft pick, played the first seven seasons of his career in Buffalo then was released by the team after the 2023 season. The two-time Pro Bowler split the 2024 season with the Rams and Ravens; White was a free agent at the start of the new league year.’

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.’
Bills begin Phase 1 of their offseason program on Monday
‘Each NFL team’s program is conducted in three phases over a maximum of nine weeks. The Bills will use the next eight weeks for their program, opening Monday with Phase 1.’
NFL Draft: Here's who will announce the Bills' first-round pick

Six Buffalo Bills storylines entering start of Monday's voluntary offseason program
‘How will tight end Dalton Kincaid and receiver Coleman respond after slow finishes to 2024? The Bills need them to respond like the late first-round pick Kincaid was in 2023 and the high second-round pick Coleman was last year.’
The Bills need to beef up their defensive front. This Michigan first-round prospect could help them
‘Grant’s rare size and ability to dominate the middle of the line of scrimmage makes him a first-round prospect in the 2025 NFL draft and a possibility for the Buffalo Bills with the No. 30 overall pick.’
Bills Mailbag: Does Buffalo still need another cornerback after signing Tre'Davious White?
‘Full disclosure: All of the mailbag questions came in before the Bills brought back veteran cornerback Tre’Davious White on a one-year deal Thursday, but I look at that move as an insurance policy. But I say true. Look at how it turned out last time. The Bills swung and missed on Kaiir Elam in the first round but selected Christian Benford in the sixth round – a move that has turned out oh-so nicely. Cornerback is the one spot where the Bills have not locked up a starter, and they need someone to play opposite Benford. The Bills have a lot of options with their 10 picks, and I think double-dipping at cornerback is a strong move.’

Ryan O'Halloran: No NFL first-round draft pick has been traded yet. Here are 3 theories why
‘The lack of marquee quarterbacks in this draft has negated early April trades and should deter teams from trying to move up Thursday night.’
Cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. has the size the Buffalo Bills need – if he passes the medical bar
‘It’s reasonable to expect Revel to play in September. However, any team drafting Revel will have to be patient and understand it’s common for players to take 18 months to regain total confidence in a repaired knee. That means he might not be everything they’d like him to be until 2026. The Bills’ signing Thursday of veteran Tre’Davious White could take pressure off a rookie corner to play right away.’
