These are the four positions the Buffalo Bills should be concerned the most about their depth.

The Buffalo Bills have one of their deeper rosters in years and appear well equipped to handle absences of a number of starters if the need arises. However, no roster is perfect and there are still some positions that have to be a concern for the coaching staff.

There is no question that a certain level of luck plays into a team’s success over the course of a year. It is not only how many starters stay healthy but if there is a capable backup if the need arises.

When looking at the position groups, these rankings are not necessarily reflective of who the starter is but rather who the next player up would be. Some factors that have been taken into consideration is how much experience that player has and if they have been a starter in the past.

With those things considered these are the four positions that the coaching staff would be the most concerned about if they lost the starter for an extended period of time.
