Hey Bills fans, you got your wish! It was clear at the end of the season that Josh Allen was carrying far too much of the burden on offense. The stark contrast of Joe Burrow being able to lean on his weapons and make easy plays vs Allen having to try to be Superman on every play is burned into all of our minds.

Dalton Kincaid was a top 10 talent on multiple media boards, and the Bills grab him at 24. He's a dominant slot receiver that has potential as a blocker on the edge. I do think this team still needs help in both trenches, but adding such a versatile weapon to this offense is exciting moving forward.

I thought O'Cyrus Torrence was going to go late RD 1, so late RD 2 is a very nice value. Connor McGovern didn't look so hot last year, so I would expect Torrence to come in and likely start. Torrence is arguably the best interior offensive lineman in the 2023 NFL Draft. Big win for Buffalo here.

Dorian Williams will look to fill in for the departing Tremaine Edwards. Williams is an excellent athlete who may have fallen because of a wrist injury. It looks like Buffalo might have picked up a steal here. Williams has big shoes to fill in replacing Edwards, but he looks like he could have the talent to do so. He should fit in well next to Matt Milano.

BILLS HISTORICAL DRAFT PICKS

Reach/Value (R/V) Explained
The difference between where a player is selected in the NFL draft versus where the player was listed on the final Drafttek Big Board for the season in question.
Example: A player who was listed at #50 on the Big Board and was selected at #35 will be a "Reach" of -15. Alternately, a player listed at #35 on the Big Board who was selected at #50 is a +15 "Value".

Simply put: a positive number is a Value pick, a negative number is a Reach.
