Bills 2026 NFL Draft: Brandon Beanes Strategy for Filling Key Holes

The Buffalo Bills, with pick 26 in the first round, have traded away their second-round pick. Their draft picks are as follows: third round (91), fourth round (126), two fifths (165, 168), sixth round (182), and seventh round (220). General manager Brandon Beane is known for trading around, potentially sliding back from the first round to acquire more picks.

The Bills biggest needs are edge rushers and wide receivers. They lack a true nose tackle and could benefit from aggressive gap-plugging linebackers for new D.C. Jim Leonhards scheme. Beane might target these positions in the first round or through early round two trades.

The Bills recent top picks have had mixed results, with hits like Dalton Kincaid and Gregory Rousseau, and misses like Kaiir Elam. However, Beane has shown success in later rounds, such as Gabe Davis, Damar Hamlin, and Khalil Shakir. With numerous weekend picks, the Bills are well-positioned for value steals, setting them up for another deep playoff run.
