Bills & NFL Biggest Draft Takeaways

Bills & NFL Biggest Draft Takeaways

Author: Blue Wire April 30, 2025 Duration: 1:10:40

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren of SB Nation to go over some of their biggest Buffalo Bills and NFL draft takeaways after a handful of days to full digest everything that happened.

When it was all said and done, the Bills ended up making nine picks and among them were two trade ups, both for defensive tackles. The guys offer their thoughts on each and how they may fit in and while going into the draft it felt unrealistic every draft pick could make the roster, Patrick actually believes there's a feasible case for each of them to make the team. If nothing else it feels the competition for roster spots in Rochester at training camp this summer should be far livelier than a year ago.

Also, the Buffalo sports world is still buzzing over Bills general manager Brandon Beane's fiesty appearance on WGR 500 Monday morning when he blasted cohosts Jeremy White and Joe DiBiase for complaining that the Bills haven't done enough at wide receiver. It's led to strong reaction on both sides of the fence from fans and the guys offer their opinions on that.

Speaking of wide receiver, Matt offers his take on if people are sleeping on free agent signee Josh Palmer and if the team has done enough to address the depth at the position.

That plus several takeaways on the draft hauls for teams around the league, including the AFC east and plenty more.

Major props to Talking Buffalo sponsor, Sonny Red’s at 1841 Abbott Road in Lackawanna, just minutes from Highmark Stadium. We consider them THE most underrated spot for wings, pizza and other great food in Western New York plus it’s a great place to drink and have a great time.
