After annually coming close but short of their ultimate goal of winning a Super Bowl, the Buffalo Bills are back at it, trying to build the best roster around Josh Allen as possible. They’ll begin adding players when NFL free agency gets underway on March 12, yet Bills general manager Brandon Beane has already admitted he’d be willing to trade Buffalo’s first-round pick in exchange for an impact player.

So let’s evaluate some proven talents the Bills could package the No. 30 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft for via trade.

While Jaire Alexander is available too, the Browns could make four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Denzel Ward an option for the right price too. He’ll still be just 28 when the season kicks off and has earned a Pro Bowl nod in three of the past four seasons. He’d immediately be Buffalo’s top corner.

There’s no indication that the Titans are ready to trade the three-time Pro Bowler, yet in a year where the draft class is so strong in the defensive trenches, maybe it makes more sense for a young Titans team to cash in and get a younger, more inexpensive option. Meanwhile, he’d bring a dominant interior pass-rushing presence to Tenneseee.

Hendrickson just requested a trade and the Bengals intend to honor it, but would they be willing to deal with a direct competitor in Buffalo? The Bills have a pair of capable edge rushers in Greg Rousseau and A.J. Epenesa, but Hendrickson is the type of talent they envisioned when signing Von Miller several seasons ago.

It really shouldn’t matter what it costs, if the Browns are willing to listen, the Bills should make an offer too good to refuse. Myles Garrett isn’t just one of the best defenders in the NFL, he’s a difference maker who could be just what this defense is missing.

The Bills went without a No. 1 wideout last season after trading Stefon Diggs. While Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman emerged, it’s time to finish this trio with a Pro Bowl acquisition like Metcalf.
