No idea how 5 draft picks make this roster much less 10.

It is going to be interesting.  I wrote earlier that the fight for the bottom of the roster is going to be difficult.  
 

I wrote on a different thread that it might be wise for Beane to use 2-3 picks to trade up to both limit the size of the class while enhancing the “quality” of the class.

Updated OP to reflect the Elam trade and the Oliver contract restructure.

By the way, the Bills now have 64 players under contract.  Of those 64, I see 10 who I think don't really have any shot at making the opening 53 man roster.  Now add 10 draftees of which the top 4/5 picks are likely assured roster spots.

Once again, Beane is trying to fill as many holes in FA before the draft (so we aren't desperate for anything). With that and our current depth, yeah, it will be tough to make this team. Which is why I think this is a draft that we'll see Beane moving around quite a bit (up, generally)---to maximize talent rather than picks. My guess is we come away with like 6 or 7 guys, not 10.

 

The roster is shaping up. I'd still like to see them draft a big DT, another WR, and another Edge, but right now, CB seems to be the only gaping hole. Will we see a FA (not too many good ones left---Samuel, Hilton)? Or will that be our first round pick?
