Buffalo Bills: How important is NFL Combine to Brandon Beane?

Verdict

It appears pretty apparent that Brandon Beane doesn’t let drills at the NFL Combine cloud his judgement. The Buffalo Bills had three players from his first draft in 2018 make it into the Great Combine Performers. While it’s a small sample size, Brandon Beane might have became more reluctant to listen to the combine after that draft. The Bills general manager has shown a bias toward players that fit the measurables the Bills like, such as his picks of Josh Allen, Tremaine Edmunds and Dawson Knox.

With the Poor Combine Performers, the Buffalo Bills have two running backs in last place in physical testing. The Bills GM seems to be production heavy with running backs since both Singletary and Moss put up great numbers in college. He likely believes the team doesn’t need home run hitters at the position but he just wants first downs.

Brandon Beane has not been afraid about picking players who tested poorly with six selected that fit the mold compared to only four that tested greatly. It appears that Brandon Beane is more inclined to pick a player for measurables and production than his actual combine testing.
