Bills built defensive line in free agency to bypass 2022 NFL Draft class

The Buffalo Bills were incredibly aggressive building their defensive line in free agency in 2022. After years of spending NFL Draft capital at defensive end and defensive tackle, general manager Brandon Beane used a much different tactic this offseason and explained why in the aftermath of the 2022 NFL Draft.

“I looked at the Draft and the depth of the d-tackle back at the Combine and where we had things on our boards after the February meetings and that was part of why I was more aggressive with DTs in free agency to fill that,” said Beane at the end of April, noting they still had some potential options.
