The Bills get much-needed depth on the interior defensive line

One of the Buffalo Bills’ primary needs entering the 2024 NFL Draft was on the defensive line at any spot. The team was in sore need of quality depth and potential impact play.

Carter has played 52 career college games with 39 starts for the Blue Devils. He was known as one of the best in...

Buffalo adds a disruptive force at defensive tackle in Round 3

The Buffalo Bills have selected defensive tackle DeWayne Carter out of Duke with their third-round selection in the 2024 NFL Draft.

The team’s defensive tackle unit was in need or reinforcements and that’s exactly what the 23-year-old rookie can provide in 2024. A stout inside force at 6’3” and 302 pounds, Carter should slot in well within the interior defensive line 1-tech rotation, working toward a bigger role in 2025 and beyond.

To say that Carter is disruptive in the trenches may be an understatement. in 50 games with...

The Bills bolster their secondary by adding one of the Utes

The Buffalo Bills have selected safety Cole Bishop out of Utah with the 60th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Following moves this offseason that saw safeties Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde depart the team, the Bills had a significant need at both positions even after signing safety Taylor Rapp to a two-year deal.

What do we know about Cole Bishop at this stage of the draft?

As B.J. Monacelli pointed out in his post-combine safeties article:

Bishop stood out in a good way at the...

Coleman checked a lot of athletic and intangible boxes for One Bills Drive

Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane met with members of the media following the team’s selection of wide receiver Keon Coleman out of Florida State. Selecting Coleman at pick 33 to open Round 2 of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Bills were finally able to exhale after injecting the team’s receiver room with much-needed talent.

Coleman is a contested-catch warrior

With the first pick in Round 2 of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills selected wide receiver Keon Coleman out of Florida State.

With this pick, it’s evident that One Bills Drive prioritized receivers who are proficient at catching the football. Leading up to the draft, general manager Brandon Beane spoke of the importance to a receiver’s game in creating separation. That caused some to see Coleman as a poor fit for their system, given his subpar 4.61-second 40-yard dash time at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine.

Securing the football is vitally important in...

Buffalo enters Round 2 with picks 33 and 60

It’s night two of the 2024 NFL Draft, with Rounds 2 and 3 set to take place this evening. The Buffalo Bills are on the clock, and have been since just before midnight last night. After trading with the Kansas City Chiefs and out of their original pick at 28, Buffalo landed at 32. When their time in the spotlight came again, they instead chose to trade back once more — this time with the Carolina Panthers and completely out of Round 1.

To recap the results of their trade efforts...

The Buffalo Bills are slated to kick off Round 2 of the 2024 NFL Draft after a pair of trades in Round 1 that took them out of last night’s festivities altogether. As is tradition with the NFL, team legends will announce each pick in the second and third round.

For the Bills, that means former safety Aaron Williams is set to have all eyes on him as he announces what hopefully is the first pick tonight. The 34-year-old Williams was drafted by the Buffalo Bills with pick 34 in Round 2, and played for them from 2011-2016 before injuries...

That is, unless they really want to get thick into the weeds of contract restructures

Leading up to the 2024 NFL Draft, plenty of rumors made their way around social media linking the Buffalo Bills with San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. Following Round 1, new rumors began to swirl stating that the Bills were one of the teams in discussion to trade for Deebo Samuel.

In reality, both ideas seem unrealistic at best.

To pull off a trade with the Niners, the Bills would first have to find the right combination of draft compensation. The even larger issue...

The gambler took another route in Round 1

The star for the Buffalo Bills on the first night of the 2024 NFL Draft was none other than general manager Brandon Beane who, after all was said and done, made time to meet with the media following the events of Round 1.

One can only imagine the frustration within the Bills’ draft war room after seeing offensive players fly off the board. Leading up to this year’s draft, Brandon Beane stated that they didn’t have first-round grades on 28 players — the number at which they were originally slated to pick....
