The Buffalo Bills hold the No. 27 overall pick in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Their position was finalized at the conclusion of this weekend’s divisional-round playoff games, which saw the Bills fall, 27-10, to the Cincinnati Bengals at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, NY.

This year’s draft will mark the seventh involving head coach Sean McDermott, and the sixth run by general manager Brandon Beane. Buffalo’s personnel men have their work cut out for them this offseason, with plenty of pending free agents to make decisions on and overall improvements needed if the team is going to compete with Cincinnati and Kansas City, at minimum, for the conference next season.

Pick
27

Buffalo Bills

Jordan Addison, WR

• School: USC
• Year: Junior

The crafty pass-catcher would add another playmaker to an explosive arsenal around quarterback Josh Allen.

idk much about the prospects but we are in a primary position for MLB. Queen, Leonard, Werner, Lloyd were late firsts-3rd round picks


Anyone know much about trenton simpson?

I'm not seeing the depth at the MLB position like last year, not even close. Beane's going to have to pull out a Josh Allen-one eye closed-tongue sticking out-60 yard dime with a pass rusher hanging off his waist-for a TD-type bullseye selection to get a decent starter for this season.

They could go for a To'o To'o type. But he's going to be the same mold as Bernard and Milano. Above average athleticism with good tackling ability but lacks instincts to attack the LOS consistently.

Some people are going to get really excited about Trenton Simpson out of Clemson, but he a big wildcard since he's not really a good fit at any classic LB position but could be an incredible weapon in an innovative defensive scheme. In other words if we stick with Frazier, and I expect us to, then he's not going to be a good fit.

Would we trade Edmunds assuming Frazier moves on?

Can't see us giving the contract he would want or receive in the market.

Trade out of round 1, get extra picks. Start using the New England methodology that worked for 25 years. Your success rate might be 50%, but if you have 10 picks instead of 8, you will have 5 successes instead of 4.

Addison is too slow and is not what we need at the WR position.

Seattle has certainly done very well with the trade down mentality as well ..... just gotta find a dance partner.

Hyatt from Tennessee at 27 or Rashee Rice in the 2nd if we go WR.
I think we more urgently need to invest in the O line at 27 and there's a few that should be there. We need a RT and LG immediately. A center to develop would be a good idea, too.
If Josh didn't constantly get chased out of the pocket Sunday, our WRs would have looked much better.

The O line got worse as the season progressed.
