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).

The Buffalo Bills entered the 2025 NFL Draft with 10 selections, and came away with nine players. For a minute, it looked as if the Bills had forgotten that the offense exists. Buffalo used its first five picks to draft defensive players. In the end, six of the nine draftees are on defense (3 CB, 2 DT, 1 DE).
