by steve

The draft is at 8pm Thursday and its time to feed the beast. Here are the Bills needs heading into the 2022 NFL Draft. They are scheduled to pick at 11:15 Thur night.

Bills 2022 Draft Picks

Round 1: 25
Round 2: 57
Round 3: 89
Round 4: 130
Round 5: 168
Round 6: 185 (from Car) & 203
Round 7: 231

A perennial playoff team with a franchise quarterback and an allegedly great defense usually doesn't have a lot of holes. The 2022 Buffalo Bills fall into this exact description. Are there weaknesses in the roster? Of course, but no spot on the team is crying out for attention, which obviously is a great place to be.

Here is my ranking of biggest need on the current roster but not necessarily what position should b targeted first.

1. Cornerback
Tre White is coming off a late season ACL tear and wont be 100% to start the season. The other starting corner from 2021 plays for the Steelers and the position was all but ignored in free agency. Dane Jackson Cam Lewis et al might be serviceable but they are mid at best.

2. Wide Receiver 
Diggs just got paid and Gabe Davis is emerging but behind that is a lot of question marks. McKenzie, Crowder, Kumerow, Stevenson, Hodgins?? Yikes.

3. Linebacker
Tre Edmunds needs to be traded or walk in free agnecy and thus a hole will be created. MLB isn't an important position but they'll still need bodies.

4. Safety 
If Poyer doesn't get an extension this will be the number one need on the team. Not sure whay happen to that allegedly great tandem in the final 13 seconds vs KC but Hyde and Poyer will be tough to replace and improve on.

5. Tightend
Knox might want too much cash soon and bama boy OJH is only on a one year deal. Tommy Sweeney a bum.

6. Center
Sure Mitch Morse got an extension but he is old. Day 3 definitely. 

7. Runningback
Singletary is ok and Moss is worse. A speedy straight line guy or a pass catching RB would make a difference.
