The first big wave of 2015 NFL free agency is in the books, and the Buffalo Bills ranked among the busiest teams in the league during that time, ultimately adding a whopping seven new players on the offensive side of the ball - all of which could have significant roles next season - while making several key re-signings of pending free agents and re-working the contracts of two vested veterans, as well. Several prominent free agents moved on to other teams, as well.
Now, with time to take a deep breath, let's re-assess the team's depth chart after their slew of big moves. We've taken a stab at it below. Let us know where your quibbles are, and more importantly, which positions you believe are in need of more reinforcements.
