Is Brandon Beane overrated as a GM? The Buffalo Bills have seen both major hits and frustrating misses in the draft under Beane’s leadership, but how well has he actually performed? In this episode, we take a deep dive into his draft history, breaking down every class from 2018 to 2024 to determine whether Beane is the draft guru Bills Mafia believes—or if his reputation is overhyped.

We’ll analyze the biggest draft successes, including Josh Allen, Matt Milano, and Dalton Kincaid, as well as some of the most questionable picks, like Cody Ford and Kaiir Elam. How does Beane’s draft strategy compare to other top GMs, and does his approach set the Bills up for long-term success?

Plus, how much do late-round steals like Christian Benford and Gabe Davis balance out early-round misses? Should Buffalo reconsider its draft philosophy moving forward, or is this just the cost of maintaining a competitive roster?

With free agency looming and another draft on the horizon, we’ll also discuss how past decisions could impact Buffalo’s next moves. Can Beane turn things around and build a Super Bowl contender through the draft, or does he need to shift his approach?

Drop a comment—how do you grade Brandon Beane’s draft history? Is he an elite GM, or has his draft reputation been overrated?Go Bills!
