What Will the Bills Front Office Do With All Those Draft Picks

Given the Bills strong roster, including most starting positions locked-up, it highly unlikely that all of of the Bills 10 potential selections would make an impact in 2025. Given the urgent needs at defensive tackle, cornerback, edge rusher, trading later round selections to move up in the first three rounds to grab more immediate impact players would seem like a practical scenario for the Bills front office.

Bills' general manager Brandon Beane has a history of leveraging picks as a means of moving up in the draft. In 2022, Buffalo moved up two spots to draft cornerback Kaiir Elam and in 2023 Buffalo traded up to acquire tight end Dalton Kincaid. In 2018, Beane made several moves to get to the 7th overall pick to select QB Josh Allen.
