Buffalo Bills depth chart following the 2018 NFL Draft

The Buffalo Bills have been reshaping their roster over the last few months, starting with shipping out starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor and left tackle Cordy Glenn before free agency kicked off. With the signings they’ve made in free agency and retirements and cuts, their roster has been transformed. Now that the 2018 NFL Draft has concluded, the Bills roster is really taking shape. While undrafted free agents are still yet to be signed and the second wave of free agency is set to kick off as teams release players, here is where the roster stands now.

Before we get into the depth chart, a few notes:

• First round pick Josh Allen is listed as the number three right now. It’s where I believe he’ll start the offseason as he get acclimated to all things NFL. He’s a project. I hope they treat him like one.
• Eric Wood is still on the Bills roster but is not on the depth chart at center since this is a projection of who would suit up if they played a game today. Since he can’t play a game, he’s not on the list.
• Ryan Groy is ahead of Bodine at center, in my opinion, but I shifted him to guard with the retirement of Richie Incognito.
• I really didn’t want to put Tremaine Edmunds as the top middle linebacker because Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane said he would earn it. But how long are they going to keep Julian Stanford as the top man in the rotation?
• We put three linebackers and three cornerbacks as the base defense because the Bills ran nickel more often than 4-3 last year. We also added a third receiver slot to the base offense.
• The veteran players noted with an asterisk weren’t on the Bills roster or practice squad last year.
• Players with a plus next to their name were added during the 2018 NFL Draft.
