Where The Bills 2024 Draft Class Stands, One Year Later

Where The Bills 2024 Draft Class Stands, One Year Later

Author: Blue Wire May 2, 2025 Duration: 48:16

It’s another edition of The Podbag on this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran responds to questions, comments and takes submitted by fans, consisting this week of all Buffalo Bills and including where the 2024 Bills draft class stands one year later.

It’s near impossible to tell if a draft class will ultimately pan out well or not after just one year and this past one was no exception, but there’s certainly clues. Patrick discusses how opportunity still knocks big time for the first two picks, Keon Coleman and Cole Bishop and how they could carry roles significant to the success of the 2025 Bills. Conversely, even after just one year it’s getting harder to see a clear path for third round pick Dewayne Carter getting consistent playing time after Brandon Beane traded up for defensive tackles two times in the first four rounds last week. Ray Davis seems pretty locked into the same role he had in 2024, at least for this season while the others from the 2024 class are pretty locked into roster depth, though Patrick has some decently high hopes for Javon Solomon.

Also, the Bills signed wide receiver Elijah Moore on Wednesday and Patrick thinks it’s a very good move, especially for this time of the offseason. It also alleviates or at least should some of the frustration of the Bills not taking a wide receiver before the seventh round last week and let’s not forget—Moore just turned 25 years old.

Patrick also responds to takes involving first-round cornerback Max Hairston, people who think trading up for TJ Sanders was dumb, if Damar Hamlin’s roster spot could be in trouble and some perhaps going overboard on the Kansas City praising. That plus a few thoughts on yesterday’s show with Bills superfan Tommy Parzymieso and much more.
