Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane entered the 2025 NFL draft with a clear roster objective: improve the defense. He used the team’s first five picks on that side of the ball, which has shaken up the depth chart as the offseason focus shifts to organized team activities (OTAs).

It doesn’t mean the Bills are fully formed, nor does it mean they can’t be better in certain areas than they were in 2024. Clearly, the way they approached free agency and the draft, no one at One Bills Drive was satisfied with the way the defense performed last year and so fortifications have been made.
