Grading Bills 2025 draft class — What are remaining roster needs?

31 comments

1. GO BILLS!!

2. Seriously where are his eyebrows??

3. They live! Absolute classic!!!!

4. (scoffs) Jordan Hancock. It's Herbie Hancock.

5. 353 passing yards in last two playoff games combined isn’t good enough … regular season they were amazing I agree but dang people act like the offense was a juggernaut in playoffs

6. Only ignorant fans think we didn’t need to address d and it’s all on Josh . We need Kincaid who was a first pick and Coleman early number 2 too step up.

7. Bills had a literal franchise best offense last season, they are fine at skill position. I’m glad most of the draft was spent on D

8. Ryan say hello to my family in Olean. Otherwise, it was an excellent draft for Buffalo. Gruess from Germany 🇩🇪 🏈🦬🍺

9. It's truly insane how allergic Brandon Beane has been to drafting WRs.

10. When Walker is healthy and good trained, look out, the Bills have a monster who's going to create havoc..🏈🦬🍺

11. Most reasonable take on the WR situation I've heard. We pay Shakir, Palmer, Samuel & Knox the same or more money than top 10 draft picks, so obviously we count on these guys. Add Coleman & Kincaid as recent high end picks who are expected to deliver big time and there is no space for day 3 talent of the draft. Of course, every football fan ever has a little hope in their head to take a 4.3s WR on Day 3 of the draft and hope that he's the next big steal, but more often than not these guys won't be game changers and it's not the rational thing to take them. Bond of course was a guy most fans of every team had in mind when we got to the fifth round, but the fact absolutely nobody took him shows he never was an option to begin with.

12. I’m not seeing how those 6 rookies on defense have addressed improving the Bills ranking of 24th against the run. Specifically inside the tackles. Ed Oliver has not proven to be consistently effective on inside run defense. Walker has the size, but won’t start. Sanders can win the starting DT slot next to Ed, fine. Will he be effective inside against the run more than Dequan was last year? Who knows? After those two DT’s…..nothing. No bigger linebackers or bigger safeties were drafted at all. It will be interesting to see how the rookies added to Bosa will enable the Bills to jump up to at least the top 15 run defense this season.

13. Same as they ever are as they refuse to address it at all…a WR1 a WR2 and a new RB to bring up for when we inevitably refuse to pay James Cook…….

14. Don't forget the Bills signed Laviska Shenault Jr., I know he hasn't done much except for his rookie season but you never know and I don't understand the point of drafting a practice squad WR.

15. A plus guy's get real.

16. The assertion about not going after Thomas last year implies they never called

17. What’s so hard to understand about “We had the highest scoring offense in Buffalo Bills history” equates to “please get us more help on the offense”? The D needed all the help.

18. So many ads , how is that determined?

19. The philosophy of the Bills has been “ Hey Josh, if we can keep it close, can you win a close game in the 4th quarter”

    The answer we got was a resounding NO.

    If the defense doesn’t take over the game and put it away, we don’t win. PERIOD!!!

    Josh has one of the best offensive lines, best RB’s, best slot receivers and tons of young talent at TE and WR… and can’t get 3 points when it matters most. Give ALL THE MONEY AND DRAFT PICKS TO DEFENSE….

    Because if the defense doesn’t put on a clinic like they did against Baltimore and Denver… the Bills season is over.

20. any wr we draft this year is literally never touching the field other than a 3rd and long I would get a vet on a cheap deal this year if you really want to and draft a wr next year when you can get rid of samuel. i know that people loved mack hollins but let's be so honest not a lot of people we very happy about picking him up until he started getting TD's and was a good lockerrom guy. i've been a palmer supporter for a while now people are underestimating that guy he is nice with it and you have to take him being on the chargers with a grain of salt because he was playing behind a prime keenan allen and mike williams. and then last year ladd ate all the targets while the chargers are starting to be very run first heavy. I feel like he wasn't schemed very well in that system and still has some untapped potential

21. 2nd year players have to step up.

22. I’m happy they drafted mostly defense. Now the million dollar question is will they be factors for this team ? As a long time bills fan I sure hope so. Go bills

23. What!!!!! no receiver was there Kyle Williams was right there. We could have got him an New England. Got him and watch he smoked the bills just watch.

24. Overall I'm pleased…especially with the 1st 3. Walker has high ceiling..do I wish we added a 4.4 WR? Yep..but now Coleman and Kincaid need to step it up now.

25. The Buffalo Bill lack speed!!!!!!!!!! we have no Speed at the receiver possession

26. I think the Bills did a great job of sticking to their draft board vs drafting for need, I would have preferred a Safety on day two, where they picked Sanders, but I don’t have a crystal ball either. Hopefully TJ Sanders is a monster producer in, what looks like, a heavy rotation of defensive linemen playing on Sunday. I’m really excited to watch this defensive line get after it with the depth to get through the season. They don’t need to rely on one or two Pro Bowl caliber guys having a big day, they are going to come at teams in waves. Jackson is a nice addition to Epenesa, Bosa and Rousseau. They just have to get the right combination of lineman and maybe kick one of them inside in obvious pass situations. The WR position needs a solid 5th receiver. Maybe just a quality, game ready professional football player will do but I would like to add a gadget guy. Either a big outside WR who physically dominates on offense and ST or a gadget guy who helps in a lot of areas but has breakaway speed.

    The Walker tape wasn’t great but some of the tape on him was the kid playing through injuries. He was a monster in 2023. Carter needs to bulk up to play closer to the ball at the line of scrimmage.

27. Whining bills fans that are never happy about anything. Their D sucked last year and needed help. Trade James cook now because he wants too much money for a part time player that can’t catch easy passes.

28. I like what we did. Love the Sanders pick & I think he will be a difference maker!

29. 7/9 not 6/9 defensive picks

30. BIG BALLER BEAN BABY

31. BIG BALLER PARRINO AND BIG BALLER TALBOT!
