Brandon Beane Opens Up on Draft Day Pressure, The Big Board & Building the Bills

Buffalo Bills GM Brandon Beane joins In Good Company with Mitch Morse for a real conversation about life right after the NFL Draft, how the Bills build their roster around stars like Josh Allen, Ed Oliver, James Cook, Greg Rousseau, and Christian Benford, and what actually goes on behind the scenes when a front office is making franchise-shaping decisions. Brandon gets into how Buffalo starts the draft process with around 450 names, what the conversations are like when players come off the board, and how they balance “we need this position” with “this guy is just too good to pass up.” He also talks NIL, measurables, the traits that are hardest to figure out, and why sometimes the person matters more than the testing numbers. There’s a lot of football in this one, but it’s also just two guys who have been in NFL buildings for a long time talking through how teams are built, what scouts are really looking for, and how much goes into getting draft picks right — especially when you’re trying to keep the Buffalo Bills in the Super Bowl conversation with Josh Allen leading the way. #NFL #Bills #JoshAllen #NFLDraft #Football #InGoodCompany #BuffaloBills Co-Host & Producer: KC Hahey Guest: Bills GM Brandon Beane Exclusive Interviews on Tuesdays 1pm EST Join the In Good Company community and never miss a drop Subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/@IGCwithMitch?sub_confirmation=1 Tell us your favorite part in the comments!
