In a move that was totally expected, the Buffalo Bills will not receive any compensatory draft picks in the upcoming 2018 NFL Draft. The 32 compensatory choices for the draft were awarded to 15 teams, and the Bills were among the teams to be shut out of receiving a compensatory pick after the Bills gained seven well-paid free agents during the offseason while losing five such free agents.
The Bills benefited from savvy signings of safeties Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer and placekicker Stephen Hauschka, who exceeded expectations in their first seasons in Western New York.
