Bills GM Brandon Beane loses it over NFL Draft questions in explicit radio interview

Don’t question the Buffalo Bills’ 2025 draft picks — especially in general manager Brandon Beane’s company.

Beane joined WGR 550 Buffalo Sports Radio Monday morning and didn’t hold back on hosts Jeremy White and Joe DiBiase for suggesting the Bills should have addressed the wide receiver position earlier in the draft.

“I was just listening to the last few minutes of your show waiting to come on and it sounds like 2018 all over with you guys,” Beane said. “You guys were b–ching in 2018 about Josh Allen, you guys wanted Josh Rosen, and now you guys are b–ching that we don’t have a receiver.”

Beane certainly made the right call in 2018 with drafting Allen over Rosen — one a generational quarterback that has turned the Bills into a perennial Super Bowl contender, while the other flamed out of the league after five unmemorable seasons.

Beane used the Bills’ first five picks on defense and did not take a receiver until they grabbed Kaden Prather out of West Virginia in the final round.

“I don’t get it. We just scored 30 points in a row for eight straight games,” Beane went on with his rant. “A year ago, I get you guys asking why we didn’t have receivers, but I don’t understand it now.

“You just saw us lead the league in points, when you add all the postseason, no one scored more points than the Buffalo Bills, including the Super Bowl champions. You just saw us do it without Stefon Diggs, same group, how is this group not better than last year’s group?”

The Bills’ wide receiver corps was set and solid for years with Diggs leading the way, but had loads of question marks going into last season with Khalil Shakir, 2024 second-round pick Keon Coleman and veteran Amari Cooper joining the team in a trade deadline deal.

But even without a real star No. 1 wide receiver, Allen — the reigning league MVP — and the offense was amongst the top in the league.

While Beane had his own feelings about what White and DiBiase had to say, the show’s hosts don’t want listeners to get things twisted.

“Don’t let it be the lie that we spent the day railing the Bills GM for not taking a receiver,” White said. “That’s not what happened today. We talked about building their defense, the front seven … I thought they would’ve gone receiver earlier … [Beane] heard us bring that up and got mad about it.”

While the Bills may not have the big names at wide receiver, Beane is happy with the offense’s production, hence why he went in a different direction in the draft.

“Our job is to score points and win games,” Beane said. “Where do we need to get better? Defense. We did that.”
