The Buffalo Bills came in at No. 16 on ESPN's list ranking NFL teams' under-25 talent.
In any professional sports league, the primary responsibility of a general manager is to set their team up for sustainable success.
And though Beane has hit on his fair share of trades and free agent signings throughout his tenure, a significant number of the team’s notable contributors over its recent stretch of contention were acquired through the draft—namely franchise quarterback Josh Allen. Building through the draft is the most surefire way to create sustained success in any sport, a tried and true formula that executives across professional leagues often preach the importance of.
“The Bills are Super Bowl contenders with a lot of young talent on their roster, but they won't be anywhere near this high when we do this ranking again next year,” Schatz wrote. “All three of the Bills' blue-chip players are 24 and will come off this list, as will running back James Cook and wide receiver Khalil Shakir.
