Bills Land A.J. Brown in Hypothetical NFL Redraft: A Game-Changer at No. 30
In a bold exercise from FOX Sports contributors Henry McKenna and David Helman, the entire NFL was hypothetically reset. Every team released its players and started fresh in a league-wide redraft, selecting stars based on the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft order.
While this imaginative scenario is far from reality, it offered fans an exciting glimpse into what teams could look like if they had the chance to build from scratch. One of the most intriguing picks came at No. 30 overall, when the Buffalo Bills selected star wide receiver A.J. Brown.
Brown, one of the league’s most dominant receivers since entering the NFL, was plucked from the Philadelphia Eagles to join the Bills.
The selection might have raised some eyebrows—after all, Brown was still available at pick 30—but for Buffalo, it’s a potential game-changing move.
Despite recent roster turnover and uncertainty about the future post-Josh Allen era, the Bills still boast enough pieces to be considered among the NFL’s top five teams. Adding a weapon like A.J.
Brown only bolsters that claim. Brown brings physicality, elite route-running, and a proven ability to make contested catches, particularly in high-pressure situations.
With multiple 1,000-yard seasons under his belt and a reputation as one of the most feared wideouts in the league, Brown would immediately elevate any quarterback he plays with.
In this redraft scenario, Buffalo appears to be prioritizing offensive firepower, and rightfully so. A.J. Brown gives the team a true WR1—someone who can dominate on the outside, win deep, and serve as a reliable target in crunch time.
Paired with a competent quarterback, Brown could thrive in Buffalo’s system and quickly become the face of the franchise.
While this entire redraft is hypothetical, it shines a light on how valuable players like Brown are perceived around the league. The fact that he slid to No. 30 is more a testament to the deep talent pool and positional value decisions rather than any knock on his ability.
For fans in Buffalo, even the idea of A.J. Brown in blue and red is tantalizing. In a league where elite wide receivers can tip the balance between contender and champion, the Bills might have just scored one of the biggest steals of this fictional draft.
