The Bills traded out of the first round, first with the Chiefs and then with the Panthers. Which goes to show that general manager Brandon Beane is realistic about his team’s short-term prospects — they’re in a bit of a rebuild now.
We all know about Keon Coleman, social media star, but the guy is also a huge, contested-catch receiver who should become Josh Allen’s new best friend on all those YOLO throws. And the secondary that seemingly got old overnight in 2023 was reinforced with Utah safety Cole Bishop, who can play everywhere from press to the deep third, and sixth-round Penn State cornerback Daequan Hardy, one of the more underrated players at his position in this class. Third-round running back Ray Davis, who has overcome a lot in his personal life to excel, could be an immediate contributor with his hammerhead running style.
Beane and his staff also went for some developmental prospects — Troy edge-rusher Javon Solomon has great tape and room for growth. Offensive linemen Sedrick Van Pran-Granger and Tylan Grable each have a lot on the ball, but don’t have to start right away. Seventh-round pick Travis Clayton is a former rugby player who came through the International Pathway Program, and the Bills are clearly hoping for a Jordan Mailata story there.
Overall, Beane did what you’re supposed to do when you’re both competing and rebuilding — he traded back for extra picks, and made sure that there were star players added at the most pertinent positions of need. — Doug Farrar, Touchdown Wire
