Buffalo Bills: Things We Know This Week

“You’re just looking for good players. Free agency is probably where you can say, ‘Hey, we’ll spend a little more here and we’ll fill this here.’ The draft is more of a long-term approach. You’re drafting a guy in the first round that you would hope you’re, at least, picking up their fifth-year option and you’ve got him for five years. So you’re not looking for a short-term fix.” – Brandon Beane

Quality over quantity. McBeane needs to make the Buffalo Bills’ six draft picks this week count. Let’s make sure to find the best players available and trade back to potentially increase their number of picks. No room to be drafting any sort of “PUNT GOD” this year. No need for selecting a running back on day one or even day two of the festivities. Quality over quantity.

Do they trade back for more picks or trade up to pick that guy? If a blue chip player falls to them and it isn’t the position of need, do they take that running back out of Texas? Quality over quantity.

“We’re going to take the best player. We really are. There’s going to be a good player there.” –Brandon Beane
