The Buffalo Bills did not win the Super Bowl last season, but the team had a lot to do. After exchanging Stefon Digg's latest off -season, Buffalo’s offensive has somehow improved and Josh Allen won his first MVP prize.
While Allen and the rest of the offense seem to be strong again in 2025, the Bills neglected to address this side of the ball during most of the draft of the NFL 2025, focusing rather on the strengthening of the team's defense. Buffalo’s strategy – in particular the team’s decision not to take a wide early receiver – was criticized in the radio program of “The Jeremy and Joe” in Buffalo.

Beane made a planned appearance in the show shortly after this conversation, and was not happy to be criticized for Do not enter a receiverAccording to ESPN.
“Well, you were in 2018 about Josh Allen, you wanted Josh Rosen, and now you are making the receiver,” said Beane when he asked him what he meant. “… We just scored 30 points in a row for eight consecutive games. A year ago, I ask you to ask you why we did not have receivers, but I don't understand it now. Games.
Beane has a point. The team did not have a real receiver No. 1 last year, but it still finished second in points scored in the regular season. Allen won his first MVP, although launched for fewer yards and affected than the previous four seasons.
In addition to that, the Bills were heavy in attack in the first round in 2023 and 2024, bringing a tight Bout Dalton Kincaid and Wideout Keon Coleman. Beane has made an effort in recent seasons.
You can support, however, that, despite Bills' figures and Allen's ability, miss this star password injured the team when it counted the most. On the team biggest game of the yearKincaid dropped a pass that would have kept the Bills season alive. Given everything that happened on this particular game, you cannot guarantee that the high -level wide receiver would have radically changed the game's result, but that would certainly have helped.

During its radio appearance, Beane explained that the team did not avoid the passes in the draft, but said that no one they loved, they had fallen to them where they chose. He also said that he did not think it was a deep project to the receiver and said the defense was the greatest need.
This is probably true. The defense of the Bills performed well last season, finishing 11th in points against, but it was not Elite. The Bills granted 28 affected on the defense, which equaled the 24th row of the NFL. If the team had a weak point last season, it was its inability to prevent other teams from finding the goal area.
In response, the Bills spent their first five choices for defensive players in the draft of the 2025 NFL. The Maxwell Hairston corner half was the main selection of the team. The Bills continued to fill the defensive gaps from there before finally taking a tight Bout Jackson Hawes with their second choice of fifth round recovery.
For the recent success of all the Bills, a Super Bowl turned out to be elusive. Until the team won a title at home, Beane will face a meticulous examination of each of her team consolidation decisions, especially given the end of last season.
