The 2024 NFL Draft is over, and during the draft season, there may have been millions of mock drafts made. Yes, I do think that millions upon millions of mocks swirled around the internet this draft season, and some are even starting into the 2025 NFL Draft, where it could be defensive players dominating at the top.
Well, as much as some of us might like to do mock versions, you have to wonder how far that stems. Buffalo Bills GM Brandon Beane gave us some insight into one person, at least:
Josh Allen is big into Mock Draft Simulators 😂
“200 Mock Drafts”

In a recent interview on The Pat McAfee Show, Beane actually tells us that Josh Allen, the superstar QB, is a big fan of doing mock drafts, and he outlines a pretty funny story where Allen himself mocked Keon Coleman for the team, and, you know, the Bills ended up taking Coleman.
It’s a funny example of a professional athlete being “one of us,” and it’s not strange, especially for the QB who needs weapons. The Bills WR room certainly underwent some change this summer, as the room is without two wideouts: Stefon Diggs, who was traded to the Houston Texans, and Gabe Davis, who signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
It’s always nice when we get news like this, as the process that goes on behind the scenes for each team as they scout players for the NFL Draft is kept under tight wraps. You have to wonder if Josh Allen would pursue a job in an NFL front office after he retires. If he can never lead the Bills to the Super Bowl as the starting QB, maybe he can do it as the future general manager?
I wonder what other QBs in the NFL love doing fake drafts? Well, only time will tell if the Buffalo Bills 2024 NFL Draft class ends up being what they need to reset their team for the better.
