The Bills Need to Address Three Positions This Offseason

Key Highlights

• While it would be great for them to land one of this year’s top wide receiver prospects like Jordyn Tyson, Carnell Tate, or Makai Lemon, that doesn’t seem like a realistic option for them either. Regardless of circumstances, the President of Football Operations, Brandon Beane, must find a way to add talent to this position.

• The only other player to finish the season with over 500 yards was tight end Dalton Kincaid. Talented receivers are coming back next year, but most have struggled to find their footing in Buffalo.
• Players like Curtis Samuel, Josh Palmer, and Keon Coleman could benefit from increased competition. Filling the void in the Bills’ wide receiver room won’t be easy, but the position can no longer be ignored.
• It’s their top priority, and not adding help would be a disservice to their franchise quarterback. Need 2: Edge RusherAlthough it hasn’t been officially announced which formation the new Buffalo defensive coordinator, Jim Leonhard, will implement, it’s safe to assume it’ll be a 3-4.
• Some players will be switching positions this season due to the scheme change, but one constant remains: a lack of talent at the edge-rusher positions. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementSince the 2016 season, the Bills have only had two players finish with double-digit sack totals.
