Buffalo Bills’ draft-pick ramifications if assistant GM Terrance Gray is hired by Vikings
Key Points:
- The Minnesota Vikings have requested to interview Joe Gray, the Buffalo Bills assistant GM since 2025, for their vacant general manager position.
- Gray has a strong Vikings connection, having spent 11 years as a scout in Minnesota before joining the Bills in 2017 as director of college scouting.
- If hired, Gray would be the first GM interview for the Vikings and their interim GM Rob Brzezinski is also a candidate for the role.
- As a minority candidate, Gray’s hiring would grant the Bills compensatory third-round draft picks in 2027 and 2028 under the NFL’s 2020 Resolution JC-2A.
- Gray would be the fourth assistant GM hired away from the Bills during Brandon Beane’s tenure, following Dan Morgan, Joe Schoen, and Brian Gaine, with Gaine likely to fill Gray’s assistant GM role if Gray departs.
