PFF 2024 NFL Roster Rankings


Recommended Posts

According to PFF, the Bills have a top 10 roster.

 

10. Buffalo Bills

Biggest strength in 2023: Cornerback

Cornerback being one of the Bills' strengths may come as a surprise to many, as long-time standout Tre’Davious White was one of many cap casualties this offseason. However, the Bills were quietly very deep at the position already and could afford to move on from White. Christian Benford, Rasul Douglas and Taron Johnson generated an 81.0-plus coverage grade and finished among the top 20 PFF-graded cornerbacks. The Jets were the only other team with three top-20 corners in 2023.

 

Biggest weakness in 2023: Wide Receiver

Perhaps no position was hit harder by the Bills’ need to become cap compliant than their wide receiver room, as not only did they let Gabe Davis walk in free agency, but they also traded star receiver Stefon Diggs to the Texans for a minimal return. The veterans in the receiver room currently feature Curtis Samuel, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Khalil Shakir, the latter of which came on late last season as a reliable slot option. The former two, however, are offseason additions entering their first year in offensive coordinator Joe Brady’s system and have never been more than complimentary pieces throughout their respective careers.

 

X-factor for 2024: WR Keon Coleman

With the lack of playmakers at wide receiver, one candidate to take charge over the No. 1 receiver role is rookie second-rounder Keon Coleman out of Florida State. Coleman was the biggest enigma of the draft process, as not only was his game tape inconsistent, but also his testing numbers were as well. Nowhere was this more clear than the discrepancies between his 40-yard dash time and his on-field sprint speed, as his 40 time was the slowest amongst wide receivers at 4.61 seconds yet he was the fastest player on the field during drills according to Next Gen Stats. Coleman seems about as boom or bust as any rookie in this year’s class but if he hits, the 6-foot-4, 215-pounder has a chance to be the focal point of this Bills offense.

 

Rookie to watch: C Sedrick Van Pran-Granger

It’s not often that a rookie fifth-rounder has the opportunity to start right away, but that’s the case with former Georgia Bulldogs center Sedrick Van Pran-Granger. As a three-year starter at Georgia, Van Pran-Granger was a model of consistency, never playing fewer than 850 snaps in a season nor posting a PFF grade below 71.0. This past year was his best work, as his 81.5 pass-blocking grade and 76.9 run-blocking grade culminated in a 79.7 PFF grade. While Will Clapp is currently penciled in as the starter at center, don’t be surprised to see Van Pran-Granger on the field before long.

 

Over/Under 10.5 win total: Under

As long as Josh Allen is under center for this team, they will always be amongst the class of the AFC. However, no team’s roster took a bigger hit this offseason due to cap casualties than the Bills. Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis, Tre’Davious White, Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde were all shown the door so that the team could become cap-compliant. With the Dolphins nipping at their heels and the Jets on the rebound due to Aaron Rodgers‘s return, the Bills' stranglehold on the AFC East over the last four seasons is in jeopardy.

I just about to say the same thing.  That said, he is the only center on the roster PFF has a draft on.  McGovern, the presumptive center, has a grade as a guard.  They graded McGovern at 55.4 last season.

What a surprise, rather than have an original thought, a journalist just regurgitates the same thought everyone else has.        Fails to mention Hyde and White weren't brought back because of serious injuries.   Fails to mention Gabe Davis' drops or Stefon Diggs decline in production.  Fails to mention Poyer's age. 

 

I thought last year was the year the Dolphins and Jets stole the division from the Bills?  Goes on to write as long as the Bills have Josh Allen they will be amongst the class of the AFC, then picks them to win less than 10.5 games.   Correct me if I am wrong, but are 9-10 win teams  considered the class of the conference?

 

More evidence that there is absolutely no reason to read anything about the NFL until the games are being played.

Yeah and Ray Davis as starting RB LOL.. 

 

Edit: Saw they have Cook above him. What they should do is have 2 TE's in there instead of 2 RBs

 The fact that we LET Gabe walk and TRADED Diggs and people think it's going to harm us... is kind of funny. If Beane thought we wouldn't be good without them... he would have just kept them? If he thought they brought value, he would have done what he could to keep them. 

 

We are going to be fine. Gabe and Diggs were non-existent in our 7 game win streak (inc. play offs).

PFF may never understand how to evaluate DT's like Eddie O. It usually makes for an otherwise entertaining read to see their work, but it always ends up disappointing with their ratings of guys in the trenches (for all teams).

People that don't watch the Bills closely are so overestimating the loss of Gabe Davis.  He had his moments but so often was invisible or had dropsies, bad route communication w Allen, etc..  Of course he had a role in blocking but that can be replaced.  Losing (first 8 games) Diggs is one thing...but when they talk about our weak WR corp, they always include Davis who just wasn't what his reputation says he is.
