Projecting Buffalo’s starting offensive line

When the 2022 NFL season ended, general manager Brandon Beane made it known that the team’s offensive line needed to do a better job at protecting quarterback Josh Allen. To that end, the team has been busy upgrading the unit this offseason, adding guards Connor McGovern and David Edwards and tackle Brandon Shell in free agency while drafting guards O’Cyrus Torrence and guard Nick Broeker.

Before the Bills embark on their mandatory minicamp, The Buffalo News attempted to predict what Buffalo’s starting offensive line will look like this year.
