Buffalo Bills, still on the hunt for their first Lombardi title, will be entering the 2025 NFL Draft with 10 total picks. The round one pick, No. 30 overall, would have the Bills mafia hooked to the screen in the sight of receiving the right aid to their QB, Josh Allen.
Following this, the team has two quick picks in the second round at 56th and 62nd overall. The Buffalo side's General Manager, Brandon Beane, has highlighted the positive side of having 10 picks during the draft as they look to strengthen both the defense and the offense (via the Buffalo Bills' official website).
What are the Buffalo Bills' biggest needs in the 2025 NFL Draft?
The Bills have only selected twice at their original first-round since 2018 under Beane (2019 and 2021). This year, the team could either make a selection in the first round for a third time under their GM, or trade down to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a round 3 pick, getting a better option among the players on board at No. 70. This will allow them to either fill positions or strengthen particular areas in the team such as wideout (via Syracuse.com).
#3 Defensive Linemen
It would be the defensive side that will majorly hold GM Beane's attention. With Larry Ogunjobi and Michael Hoecht facing six-game suspensions, the Bills will be keen to address the defensive tackle position. Additionally, the 2025 season is the last one on current contracts for defensive players DaQuan Jones, A.J. Epenesa, and Joey Bosa, making Buffalo focused on finding a long-term defensive solution (via the NFL's official website).
#2 Wide Receiver
Another position that concerns the Bills before the Draft is that of a wide receiver. At the 2024 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills traded down to allow the Kansas City Chiefs to grab receiver Xavier Worthy. This time around, the Bills could target receiver Matthew Golden from the Texas Longhorns, either during the first round or by trading down to the third round. It would help the AFC side to compensate for the loss of Mack Hollins during the free agency (via the NFL's official website).
#1 Cornerback
Similar to the 2022 NFL Draft situation, the Buffalo Bills once again find themselves looking for a suitable cornerback. It was Kaiir Elam who held the fort for the Bills for three years. The Bills traded him to the Dallas Cowboys this offseason. While extending Christian Benford's contract for four years has relieved some concern, the position of a starter opposite him remains empty. To fill the lacking depth in the defense, the Bills could potentially target Darien Porter, a cornerback from Iowa State, during the first or second round. Other cornerbacks that can hook Buffalo's attention are Maxwell Hairston from Kentucky Wildcats, Trey Amos from Ole Miss Rebels, Shavon Revel Jr. from East Carolina Pirates, and Jahdae Barron from Texas Longhorns (via the Buffalo Bills' official website).
