Bills Biggest Weakness Before Draft Revealed
It didn't take long for the Buffalo Bills to address many key holes on the roster this offseason. After reaching the conference title game only to lose to the Kansas City Chiefs this past season, Buffalo feels they are close to true title contention.
In order for them to take the next step, though, the Bills needed to get aggressive when it came to adding to their roster.

Buffalo added key free agents like Joshua Palmer, Joey Bosa, and Larry Ogunjobi while also extending homegrown talent across the board like Terrel Bernard, Greg Rousseau, and Christian Benford.
Yet despite the talented roster they have assembled, there is still key piece still missing for the Bills this offseason. And Bills on SI's Ronnie Eastham believes that weakness can be addressed in the draft.
"The Bills added a few solid players along the defensive line this offseason, but no one with game-changer status," Eastham said. "Bosa could be a steal, but his injury history and recent decline in production say otherwise. Hoecht and Oguniobi are role players, but the Bills need someone who can dominate and wreak havoc on opposing offensive lines. Unfortunately, this player may not exist, or Beane will have to hit a home run with a potential pass-rush threat in the draft."

Ogunjobi and Hoecht have been suspended for the first six games of the season so its clear needs along the defensive line are clear and obvious at this point.
If Buffalo can solve this need, it could be the turning point that finally gets them by the Chiefs once and for all.
