Buffalo Rumblings
It of course isn’t QB or bust for the Bills in 2025 — but is there a consensus about what Buffalo should do in this year’s draft?
Last week in partnership with FanDuel Sportsbook, we asked readers of Buffalo Rumblings to put on their general manager suits and consider what the Buffalo Bills might do in Round 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft. With the draft just a few days away, it’s crunch time for One Bills Drive to make sure they’re well-positioned and on the ball to attack things regardless of how each round plays out.
It’s of course the first round that most people focus on, but sustained success comes at a cost to teams like Buffalo on draft weekend. Once again, the Bills are scheduled to pick late in the first round. Last year, the team traded back twice on night one, and out of Round 1 completely, frustrating plenty of fans who waited hours to see what Buffalo would do.
Is that in the cards this time with the Bills picking at 30? Or do most fans believe the team will trade up or stay put? Interestingly, the results tell us that Bills Mafia see trading back as the least likely outcome (26%), while staying put (31%) is fairly behind the idea of trading up (43%).
We also wanted to know what position Buffalo will draft with their top pick, and the results tend to flow with the offseason vibe surrounding the team’s perceived needs. Defense, defense, and more defense rule the roost. Leading the way is defensive tackle (47%), followed by cornerback (41%) and safety a distant third (7%). Just 1% of voters said it would be a different position from those three and wide receiver (getting just 4% of the vote).
