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.

Can't have too many CBs...

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.

Can he block?

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?

[TacklingDummy]

OL, S, WR, DT, LB, and sadly DE

No RB, QB, CB, P, K, FB

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.

[Woodman]

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.

[YardRat]

I like Hyatt from Tennessee.

Don't like To'o To'o from Bama.

Yeah time to move way from the ledge and move forward. Im not really caring about the playoffs anymore anyway.

FIrst preliminary mock draft. Not that it will matter. We'll spend the first 3 rounds on the DL and get 3 underachievers.

27. Broderick Jones - OT Georgia We need help on the Oline. Lucky to get him.

67. Steve Avila -OG TCU More help, but Im not fully sold. He's huge at nearly 340. Consensus All American at LG, but also played 2 years at center. 8 hurries, 0 sacks last year and a mover in the run game. But you get the idea. Find a good interior lineman in round 2. If not him, there will be others.

Still...idk. I have Cody Ford/Will Hernandez vibes also. We'll see how he does that the Senior Bowl/Combine.

91. Demarvion Overshown - MLB Texas He's fun to watch. 6'4" 225lbs and a former safety. He has some misses, but he attacks. Fast and very good in coverage. 1st team all Big 12 with 96 tackles.

128. Jammie Robinson - S Florida St. He hits, he tackles, he covers, he makes plays.

135. Charlie Jones - WR Purdue Go ahead, say it, he did nothing at UB. One of the most productive WR's in college football last year, over 1300 yards and more than 12 TDs. He can get open. And he does so often.

137. KJ Henry - Edge CLemson At spot 137, he's worth a shot. Not many sacks, but had 50 pressures. This DL needs pressures.

160. Byron Young - Edge Tennessee Juco transfer, came up the hard way. Ended up at Tennessee and became an ALl-SEC first teamer. 7 sacks last year, 12 tfls and 14 QB pressures. More speed for the outside rush, something we are seriously lacking.

Sleeper guy in the late rounds/UDFA:

Devonnsha Maxwell- DT Tenn-CHatanooga 6'3"300 lbs He put up some serious numbers in the Southern Conference. 37.5 career sacks, 55 TFLs. 3 time All Southern Coference.

You can see he's athletic, but one major flaw. His first step is up, rather than forward, and he plays too high. If someone can correct that, he could be special.

He'll be at the Shrine Bowl and I think the Senior Bowl.

[Forward_Lateral]

Cookie, do you think Overshown might get drafted with intent to move him back to safety?

[Woodman]

Do we have a 2nd round pick?

Pick 67 would be in the 3rd is why I ask.

Yeah, it's pick 59. He must've just read it wrong. The other picks are all in the right spots
