Buffalo Rumblings

The 2023 NFL Draft is so close now we can nearly taste it. What better way to celebrate than with a seven-round mock draft for the Buffalo Bills? The team is scheduled to have six selections in this year’s draft. That means a limited amount of tosses at the dartboard for general manager Brandon Beane and company. The Bills have sneakily stacked a few mediocre draft classes for several years now, which only adds to the strain of competing for Super Bowls. Hitting on this draft class must happen if you’re the current Bills regime. One Bills Drive will have their own selection in each of the first four rounds of the draft (27, 59, 91, and 130). They also own the Arizona Cardinals’ fifth-round selection (137) as a result of the Cody Ford trade that sent the offensive guard from Buffalo to the desert. The team is scheduled to wrap their draft up with their own sixth round selection at pick 205. For the purpose of this exercise, we’ll base our seven-round mock on a big board courtesy of The Athletic’s Dane Brugler who notably just dropped “The Beast” — a ranking of 1,700 prospects culminated over nearly a year of research and work. Brugler has access to pro-day testing data as well as detailed background to prospects to build the best overall big board in the business.
