0:00On April 23rd, Buffalo Bills roll into the 2026 NFL draft with the 26 overall pick. It's not a top 10 slot, but nailing a first rounder here can build a franchise cornerstone or turn into a total miss. Looking back, the last 10 players taken at 26 show a real mixed bag. You've got defensive ends, a quarterback, even some line-minning corners stepping up or flaming out. Standouts include Jordan Love from 2020 out of Green Bay, who's now a legit starter, and Montez Sweat from 2019 with Washington, A, beast on the line. Calvin Ridley in 2018 lit it up as a receiver for Atlanta 2. On the flip side, Paxton Lynch in 2016 busted hard for Denver and Mazzie Smith last year with Dallas hasn't panned out yet. Guys like Tak McKinley and Greg Newsom had their moments but fell short of expectations. Bill's front office knows the stakes turn that 26 into gold and you're laughing all the way to the playoffs. Keep an eye on how they play it, come draft night, football news, powered by AI.
