Brandon Beane was named general manager of the Buffalo Bills in 2017, just one month after the NFL Draft in which Buffalo drafted key players such as cornerback Tre’Davious White, left tackle Dion Dawkins, and linebacker Matt Milano. It feels like Beane gets a ton of credit for his aggressiveness during the draft process, like trading up for quarterback Josh Allen in 2018 or trading for wide receiver Stefon Diggs in 2020.
But, if allowed to be critical in this space, the vast majority of his other draft picks haven’t necessarily been the greatest.
