It feels like every week in Buffalo has been hectic and newsworthy since the new year. The Buffalo Bills took a load off by firing coach Rex Ryan and did the same to their general manager Doug Whaley after the draft ended.

Out with the carnival-barker and splash lover and in with the details men.

It’s a shift in Buffalo. Ryan teased fans with his boasting personality and promised playoffs whereas new coach Sean McDermott has constructed a long term, yet detail oriented plan to lead the Bills back to glory.

Let’s take a look at the week that was and the week ahead.

Whaley’s draft picks continue to move

On Monday, general manager Brandon Beane decided to move second-year linebacker Reggie Ragland to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for a 2019 fourth-round draft choice.

Ragland was a standout at Alabama before Buffalo, with Whaley’s lead, decided to trade up and select the former 2015 SEC defensive player of the year. Ragland missed his entire rookie campaign with a torn ACL and hadn’t started off well this season.

McDermott hinted at Ragland’s status after the team’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday.

Rather than cut the prospect, Beane opted for getting a return, adding to his stockpile of draft picks.

Beane’s move signifies proof of a larger, growing belief in the Queen City that McDermott and Beane want their own guys and not Whaley’s. Ragland becomes the third player traded by Beane in the last 17 days.

Rightfully so, any general manager and coach would rather have their stamp on the product than that of the men who were fired just months before.

What’s also extraordinary is the number of picks that Whaley whiffed on at the helm of the Bills. Of the players selected by Buffalo from the 2010 NFL draft up until 2016, just 11 of 55 remain on the Bills roster. That’s not a good batting average.
