The Buffalo Bills enter the offseason with two glaring priorities: upgrading their coverage unit and revamping their receiving corps. Despite another deep playoff run, Buffalo’s defensive struggles in the secondary were evident, finishing with a 48.3 PFF team coverage grade — the second-worst in the NFL. Outside of Christian Benford, the Bills lacked reliable, sticky coverage personnel. Linebacker play in coverage was an even bigger issue, as the unit combined for a league-worst 29.1 PFF coverage grade. On the other side of the ball, Buffalo’s passing attack needs reinforcements. For much of the year, the focus was on Josh Allen’s lack of reliable targets, and the Bills' season fittingly ended on a dropped pass. A midseason trade for Amari Cooper didn’t provide the boost the team had hoped for, and among the four Bills receivers with at least 50 targets, only Khalil Shakir cracked the top 55 in PFF grade. With limited cap space — roughly $14 million over the limit — general manager Brandon Beane must be strategic in free agency. That makes the 2025 NFL Draft a crucial opportunity to fortify the defense and give Allen the necessary weapons.
