After the 2023 NFL Draft, Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane has already been busy signing additional veteran free agents to fill out the roster.

Following draft weekend, Beane's first notable move was to sign veteran running back Latavius Murray, who was the Denver Broncos' leading rusher last season. Murray joins a back field featuring Damien Harris, James Cook and Nyheim Hines.

Then, the Bills signed veteran defensive tackle Poona Ford, formerly of the Seattle Seahawks, to help bolster the defensive front. Now that Murray and Ford are in Buffalo, Beane shouldn't stop there. This is a roster that wants to pursue a Super Bowl, and quickly.

We have talked about a few free agent options still out there, but there are some that would simply give this Bills roster an embarrassment of riches at certain positions. Who are they? Let's dive in.

Free agents to give Buffalo Bills embarrassment of riches after NFL Draft: Julio Jones, WR

Okay, so 34-year-old Julio Jones isn't exactly going to cause an "embarrassment of riches" for the Bills. However, this is a move that a team like Buffalo makes. They're ready to win a Super Bowl, and Jones is ready to win one.

He may not have had a big impact in Tampa Bay last year (24 receptions, 299 yards, two touchdowns) but the veteran had some flashes. The Bucs were a mess, last year, anyway. Jones can still function as a high-end WR3 if need be, and his red zone presence would be a great weapon for Josh Allen to utilize.

At the very least, bringing him into training camp to see what he has in the tank is well-worth a low-risk deal. If he looks competent, then the Bills offense just scored another weapon in a low-pressure type of situation for Jones.
