Just days removed from the draft, we know a little more about what the Buffalo Bills roster is going to look like next season. Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott spent the majority of their draft capital on weapons to protect and equip Josh Allen.
With months away from meaningful football, we wanted to have fun and see what we thought the potential 53-man roster could be next season.

Not too many surprises for the Bills Mafia outside of Mims making the roster and Cam Lewis being cut.

As Brandon Beane has reminded fans since he joined the organization, trust the process.
