With the start of the NFL Draft less than a week away and the sports world still on hiatus due to the coronavirus, the crew of Schopp and the Bulldog decided to take on the challenge of drafting a roster of the best offensive players in Buffalo Bills history!
As usual, the Bills Offense Draft featured both Mike Schopp and "Sneaky Joe" DiBiase from the Dunn Tire Studios in Amherst, while Chris "Bulldog" Parker was broadcasting from his attic studios at home. In addition, Bills beat reporter for WGR Sports Radio 550, Sal Capaccio joined in from his home and was able to draft his own offensive roster!
