The 2026 NFL Draft is just weeks away, set to begin on Thursday, April 23 in Pittsburgh, PA. The Buffalo Bills are currently set to make their pick at 26, unless president of football operations/general manager Brandon Beane finds reason to trade up or back, and perhaps even out of Round 1 entirely amid what many see as a draft deep in second- and third-round talent.
The hype of free agency is well behind us now, but the Bills had decided to pounce before that point, anyway. Buffalo pulled off a trade
with the Chicago Bears ahead of free agency to bring wide receiver DJ Moore to One Bills Drive.
Adding a productive wide receiver was sound business, and doing so ahead of free agency made fiscal sense. But president of football operations/general manager still has his work cut out for him even after coming to terms on a deal that kept Connor McGovern in-house to reprise his role as the team’s starting center. Are they targeting another wider receiver in April’s draft, or perhaps someone to dominate the trenches along the defensive line?
Most analysts and fans agree the team needs to improve in the defensive trenches and now at outside linebacker where edge rushers will attempt to feast in new defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard’s 3-4 base system. But not everyone is convinced defense is the go-to early, with some folks hoping to see another wide receiver added — someone who will succeed on the boundaries.
It’s anyone’s guess who the team will draft with their current selections in each round, but we’ve begun to learn which prospects the team has met with in an extended and often official capacity. So who has One Bills Drive been meeting with in the days leading up to the draft?
