AFC East pre-draft grades

2. Buffalo Bills, A

The Bills had a great free agency period.  Being incredibly active in free agency tells the entire league that this team is ready to make a significant run at the Super Bowl.

Their biggest addition was signing Von Miller, but they essentially rebuilt their entire front seven with the additions of Miller, Shaq Lawson, DaQuan Jones, Tim Settle, and Jordan Phillips.

They also signed Jamison Crowder to replace Cole Beasley, gave Stefon Diggs an extension, and added Roger Saffold to the offensive line.

The Bills are a complete team.  They could use some cornerback help, but their front seven is lethal, along with their linebackers, receivers, tight ends, and quarterback.

Seeing as they have a couple of small holes at running back at cornerback, I’d expect them to target both of these positions in the NFL Draft.

Another addition, perhaps a bit underrated was trading for Case Keenum.  Keenum is a fringe starter who has won a bit of games in the NFL and could prove to be very valuable for the Bills if Josh Allen were to miss time with an injury.

Overall, there’s a ton to like with this team.  Buffalo has great coaching as well, which is hopefully going to put the whole thing together in 2022.
