The Buffalo Bills had an unfortunate end to their 2021 season after the Kansas City Chiefs completed a 13-second drive to tie the game.

Yet despite the setback they experienced during the Divisional Weekend, they remain one of the favorites to win Super Bowl LVII.

After all, they do have one of the best young quarterbacks in Josh Allen, a stacked offense, and a top-rated defense.

While the Bills will remain contenders for years to come, ESPN’s NFL insider Field Yates reminded football fans how good the Bills have been in finding great talent.

The first 6 picks by the Bills in 2018:
▫️QB Josh Allen: 6-yr, $258M extension
▫️LB Tremaine Edmunds: 2 Pro Bowls
▫️DT Harrison Phillips: 107 tackles
▫️CB Taron Johnson: 3-yr, $24M extension
▫️ST Siran Neal: 3-yr, $10.9M extension
▫️G Wyatt Teller (traded to Browns): All Pro

— Field Yates (@FieldYates) February 23, 2022

Yates detailed the Bills’ first six picks during the 2018 NFL Draft and how they’ve been.

After reading this list, it’s safe to say that the Bills are fantastic in evaluating talent.

 

The 2018 Bills Draft Class Gave Them The Headstart

Yates started with the sensational quarterback, Allen, who recently signed a six-year, $258 million contract extension.

Next on the list is linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, who has been to two Pro Bowls.

Harrison Phillips has had 107 tackles while cornerback Taron Johnson agreed to a three-year, $24 million deal.

Siran Neal also took home a three-year, $10.9 million extension.

The Bills also drafted guard Wyatt Teller and traded him to the Cleveland Browns where he has become an All-Pro.

Hitting on these picks has helped head coach Sean McDermott build an elite roster that will wreak havoc upon the opposition for years.

They will need all of those players to remain competitive for years.

The AFC regular season is shaping up to be a fierce competition and the Bills will only survive if they click on all cylinders.

But as long as they have Allen, making the playoffs will be more of a constant reality.
