Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane could be one of the league’s busiest executives during the 2025 NFL draft. He owns 10 picks. They could be used either to bolster the team’s depth chart or in a more aggressive manner, such as trading up to target high-profile prospects.<\/p>\n
Beane’s first pick Thursday night sits at No. 30 overall. He made it clear he doesn’t feel there are that many top-tier players available\u2014”Not 30,” he told reporters<\/a> when asked about how many players earned a first-round grade from their front office\u2014which suggests the Bills may try to make a Round 1 trade.<\/p>\n “[If] we think there is a player we really love, fits a need as well, those are what I’m trying to trade up for\u2014player we love, fits a need and the value that makes sense,” Beane said. “If not, and the board is getting wiped, now we’re looking, ‘What are our options to go back? How far do you want to go?'”<\/p>\n This is our final attempt at a mock draft this year. Here’s a look back at the first three:<\/p>\n Although trades are obviously on Beane’s mind, his roster also needs improved depth in several areas. There’s always value in contributors on team-friendly rookie contracts. That’s especially true for a team like Buffalo, which has limited financial flexibility. So, it could ultimately a blessing in disguise if the moves don’t materialize during the 2025 NFL draft.<\/p>\n Michigan defensive tackle Kenneth Grant<\/a> held this spot in each of our first three mocks. As draft night moves closer, however, it just doesn’t seem like he’ll be available at No. 30. It’ll probably require a significant trade up if Beane is hell-bent on landing him.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the Bills are having a cornerback reunion this offseason. Tre’Davious White and Dane Jackson both returned after prior stints in Buffalo. Neither of them should be counted on to serve as the team’s No. 2 boundary corner opposite Christian Benford<\/a>, though. It’s still the roster’s biggest need.<\/p>\n Revel<\/a> has the most upside of a fringe first-round cornerback group that also includes Kentucky’s Maxwell Hairston<\/a>, Ole Miss’ Trey Amos<\/a>, Florida State’s Azareye’h Thomas<\/a>, and Notre Dame’s Benjamin Morrison<\/a>. Any of them are realistic outcomes for Buffalo at No. 30.<\/p>\n \u201cThis guy is a press man corner. He may be the purest form of press man corner in this draft.\u201d\u00a0@GregCosell<\/a> breaks down East Carolina CB Shavon Revel: pic.twitter.com\/WuE1fXSgWl<\/a><\/p>\n — Ross Tucker Podcast (@RossTuckerPod) April 23, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
