No. 26 – EDGE R Mason Thomas, Oklahoma
Thomas can bring the needed energy and production, packing a wallop in a smaller, relentless frame.
No. 26 – S Dillon Thieneman, Oregon
You'd think Bills GM Brandon Beane would want to give new head coach Joe Brady a weapon on offense, but Beane is disciplined and won't reach. Thieneman should be the playmaker the Bills have needed since the departures and declines of safeties Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde.
No. 26 – EDGE/OLB T.J. Parker, Clemson
Beane can address another point of unease by selecting the powerful Parker to give new defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard a more settled edge rush.
No. 26 – WR Denzel Boston, Washington
It felt like new head coach Joe Brady owed it to Josh Allen to get him a true No. 1 receiver. Boston's large catch radius and proficiency in traffic will help Allen in the red zone. He produced at least 60 catches and 800 yards in each of the last two seasons and caught 20 touchdowns over that span. — Manny Navarro
No. 26 – WR Denzel Boston, Washington
Boston's hands, catch radius and vision would quickly make him a go-to option for quarterback Josh Allen.He finished with 881 yards and 11 scores last season, bullying opposing cornerbacks along the way.
No. 26 – WR Malachi Fields, Notre Dame
The Bills must continue to throw resources at the wide receiver position. Fields is a supersized playmaker with the tools to blossom as an "X" receiver in a pro-style offense.
No. 26 – S Dillon Thieneman, Oregon
Cole Bishop is entrenched as one starting safety in Buffalo, but the team needs more help after its safety unit ranked 22nd in the NFL in PFF overall grade this season. Thieneman capped his excellent college career by earning an elite 91.0 PFF overall grade while picking off two passes and breaking up four more in 2025.
No. 26 – LB C.J. Allen, Georgia
The hot topic in Buffalo has been the receiver position. So while that remains a top priority, the Bills also need players to help stop the run. That's why they go with Georgia LB CJ Allen, a physical downhill thumper.
No. 26 – WR Denzel Boston, Washington
If the team's still looking for a big-bodied ball winner, Boston could be a nice value at No. 26.
No. 26 – EDGE T.J. Parker, Clemson
Buffalo's defense improved as the season hit the waning moments, but the Bills still need more talent at all three levels for new coordinator Jim Leonhard. That's a tall ask, but they can dip their toes in the edge rusher market with the selection of Parker, an athletic defensive end.
No. 26 – CB Brandon Cisse, South Carolina
Cisse is a tough corner who isn't afraid to tackle and has 10 passes defended over the past two seasons, and he gave up just 18 receptions and one TD in 2025 (PFF).
