Opinion: Newly minted starters Bernard and Benford add feathers to Bills’ recent draft cap

One of the biggest narratives surrounding the Buffalo Bills during the 2023 offseason was their recent draft track record. Whether it was Kaiir Elam’s disappointing lack of a starting job going into year two or the idea that 2023 was a critical offseason, general manager Brandon Beane’s additions to the team through the annual NFL Draft have been a topic on the mind of the Bills Mafia for the last few months.

With the announcements of 2022 sixth-round pick Christian Benford starting at the second outside cornerback spot and 2022 third-round pick Terrel Bernard lining up next to Matt Milano with the first-team defense against the New York Jets, the Bills’ drafting grade just got a little extra credit.
