Grading every first-round pick of Buffalo Bills' current regime
Brandon Beane will hang his hat on his Josh Allen draft choice, but there are others he should be proud of as well.
The Buffalo Bills' current regime, led by GM Brandon Beane, has had some hits and misses during their seven drafts, like every team. He will hang his hat on his Josh Allen draft choice, but there are others he should be proud of as well.
Beane likes his first-round picks to be projects that can develop into superstars, like Josh Allen, Tremaine Edmunds, and Greg Rousseau. All of them were super raw prospects, and two of them so far have turned into very solid contributors in this league. The jury is still out on Rousseau, but he has the opportunity to take over for Von Miller after this year. But with that being said, how would you grade their first-round picks to date?

2017 - Tre'Davious White
Tre'Davious White may not have been a Brandon Beane draft choice, but head coach Sean McDermott was in town to make that selection. White was a first-team All-Pro in 2019 and second-team All-Pro in 2020, and was the co-leader in interceptions in 2019 with six.
Before his injuries derailed his career, White was arguably the best CB in the league with Jalen Ramsey and Xavien Howard in the debate as well. For three years, the secondary of White, Jordan Poyer, and Micah Hyde was one of the best in the league, and they were shutting down some of the best offenses in the league.
Despite multiple season-ending injuries to end his Buffalo Bills career, he'll go down as a top draft choice by this regime when it's all said and done.
