2. What can be expected of pick No. 30?
In the 2019 NFL Draft, the Bills had the ninth overall pick. Last year they were slated for No. 22, but traded it for a game-changer in Stefon Diggs. This year, they move down even more to the end of the first round at No. 30 thanks to a successful 2020 season.
Will a flashy player still be available at No. 30? Is drafting that late in the first round a bad thing?
No fear. According to Brandon Beane, picking late in the first round is a good problem to have. I wish we were picking 32, Beane said with a smile. That s the goal.
