No. 26 – WR KC Concepcion, Texas A&M
Even with veteran trade acquisition DJ Moore in the fold, the Bills would surely welcome another multi-tool weapon such as Concepcion. Buffalo also has gone two seasons without returning a punt for a TD -- something Concepcion pulled off twice in 2025. His father, who played at the University of Buffalo, was a Bills fan, and so Concepcion grew up watching the team.
No. 26 – EDGE Cashius Howell, Texas A&M
The level of concern about Howell's lack of length (30 1/4-inch arms) will vary from team to team, but his first-step quickness is unquestioned after he posted the fastest 10-yard split (1.58 seconds) of any player from the defensive line group at this year's NFL Scouting Combine. New Bills DC Jim Leonhard comes from Denver, where the Broncos won off the edge with Nik Bonitto and Jonathon Cooper, who both ranked among the top five at their position last season in average get-off, per Next Gen Stats.
No. 26 – CB Avieon Terrell, Clemson
The Bills' tight salary cap led to some cornerback changes this offseason, with the team cutting Dane Jackson, trading Taron Johnson and letting Tre'Davious White hit free agency. They have Christian Benford and 2025 first-rounder Maxwell Hairston in place, but the depth is shallow. Terrell is great in man coverage, showing the ability to stick on receivers. He didn't come away with any interceptions last season, but he broke up nine passes.
No. 26 – S Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, Toledo
Linebacker was tempting here with CJ Allen still available. Instead, the Bills bolster their spine at the safety spot. Even after signing C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Geno Stone, I think the Bills could use another centrally located long-term option that new defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard could weaponize. McNeil-Warren is such a fun player. He is a quick diagnoser and loves to fit the run. He would be a great fit for Leonhard's defense that asks a lot out of its safeties.
No. 26 – WR KC Concepcion, Texas A&M
Separation became the buzzword around the Bills' receiving corps last season -- they simply couldn't create enough of it. That changes with KC Concepcion, who routinely gets open with relative ease on tape. It's just the whole catching the ball thing that can trip him up at times.
No. 26 – EDGE T.J. Parker, Clemson
A.J. Epenesa is a free agent as of this writing, so the only edge rushers on the roster probably exempt from major roster decisions are Gregory Rousseau, newly signed Bradley Chubb and last year's third-round pick, Landon Jackson. T.J. Parker has the profile they've been drawn to in the past. Perhaps he'll allow them to get off the carousel of acquiring a new 30-year-old every offseason.
No. 26 – DE/OLB T.J. Parker, Clemson
The Bills are switching to Jim Leonhard's 3-4 scheme at a time when the roster's edge-rushing talent looks particularly precarious. Parker might end up making his mark via persistence and power more often than quick wins, but his unyielding approach pays off against both the pass and the run.
No. 26 – EDGE Zion Young, Missouri
The range on Young is pretty wide, especially considering that he was charged with DWI late last year in Missouri. Inside the NFL, though, the rap on Young seems more focused on the fact that he's gigantic (6-6, 262, 33-inch arms) but moves like he's not. He's a very talented player with a ceiling to match.
No. 26 – S Dillon Thieneman, Oregon
Thieneman's 91.0 PFF overall grade in 2025 led all Power Four safeties, as did his 91.1 PFF coverage grade. He missed just 8.3% of his tackle attempts and finished as the most valuable safety in the country, per PFF Wins Above Average.
No. 26 – WR Denzel Boston, Washington
The Bills will add a big physical target for Josh Allen. They will look to improve the receiver room all offseason and this is a good start.
No. 26 – DE Keldrick Faulk, Auburn
The arrival of Moore means GM Brandon Beane doesn't have to overdraft a wideout here − which is probably what he would have had to do, in a stick-and-pick situation, given none of the best ones were likely to fall this far (despite his Carnell Tate musings at the combine). But the intriguing Faulk, a gem in need of some polish, can fill another area of concern. He should be a three-down player who can kick inside on passing downs. He has a reputation as being an excellent locker-room presence, always a huge plus, and would soften the blow given the likelihood DE Joey Bosa won't be back in 2026.
