Buffalo Bills. 32. team. 16. . . Previous:

The Buffalo Bills come in dead last in our NFL power rankings, and for some pretty understandable reasons.

Sure, head coach Sean McDermott’s squad ended an elongated playoff drought last year. But that was followed by a massive overhaul of the roster — something McDermott started doing upon taking over in 2017.

Biggest among these, of course, was moving quarterback Tyrod Taylor to the Browns. In his wake, Buffalo grabbed A.J. McCarron, who has just three career starts entering his fifth year. On top of that, the Bills’ best offensive weapon, running back LeSean McCoy, just turned 30 years old.

Losing center Eric Wood to retirement stinks too.

Buffalo made the move to grab former Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen in Round 1 of the NFL Draft. And judging by the video here, it’s going to be a while before the young signal-caller takes over starting duties:

Simply put, McDermott is initiating what looks to be a long-term rebuild, meaning 2018 is going to be more about the future than anything else in Buffalo.
