One.

If the Bills had to go all in for one player in this year's NFL Draft, who would it be? Brandon Beane doesn’t have a choice. The bomb is ticking and he needs to do whatever is necessary to get the best player on the Buffalo Bills’ draft board.

If the #Bills had to do anything necessary to pick their favorite player in this year's NFL Draft, who would it be and how much would it cost?

My pick: Ohio State's Arvell Reese (and it would cost a lot).

Sabato: The Bills may be best suited to trade their No. 1 pick, here's a mock draft to prove it Remember 2024? When everyone slogged through nearly five hours of the NFL Draft, picks slowly ticked off the board until the Buffalo Bills finally got their turn to pick.

Bills could catch lightning in a bottle with late-round receivers with natural track speed Brandon Beane scoffed when he heard Keon Coleman’s 40-yard dash time. It wasn’t relevant to him.

Florida's J.Michael Sturdivant and Incarnate Word's Jalen Walthall are a few late-round developmental wide receivers who could interest the #Bills if they can translate track skills to the football field.

How many teams with that philosophy actually end up winning?

A lot of the same people who complain the #Bills are wasting Josh Allen's prime want Brandon Beane to obliterate the cap and throw picks away for one Super Bowl. What if Allen plays another 10 years? You're cool wasting those?

The NFL Draft gives the Bills plenty of options to find defensive versatility for new scheme Positionless. That’s been the word tossed around frequently by the new Buffalo Bills hierarchy throughout the offseason.

Jaishawn Barham? Harold Perkins? VJ Payne? Treydan Stukes?

Frustrating pro day shouldn't alter Buffalo linebacker Red Murdock's stock a month from NFL Draft AMHERST — Red Murdock slipped off his T-shirt and shorts, exposing his tattoo-covered washboard stomach. He crouched into a sprinter’s stance, adjusting until he felt just right.

Red Murdock's pro day ended earlier than expected due to an ankle injury that's lingered since the end of the season. But the #Buffalo linebacker's stock isn't expected to change much as a projected Day 3 pick.

It's a simulator, guy. Relax.

Analysis: The Bills need to continue adding pieces to their pass rush despite Bradley Chubb signing It’s ironic that Bo Nix broke his ankle near the end of the AFC divisional round. The Denver Broncos quarterback wasn’t in peril often throughout the game.

The last two Super Bowl champions have won with a deep catalog of pass rushers that create a high pressure rate with a low blitz rate. The #Bills have to keep adding to their pass rush to hit that bar.

I don't even know what that means. Not every team has the same talent.

The players. First two words. Who got those players? And where did they come from?

Sure, they've magically become one of four teams to win a playoff game six years in a row.
