Bills Trade Up, Stockpile Picks in 2026 NFL Draft

0:00It's April 24th. NFL News Today starts now, AI powered and game ready, I'm Cory with the story. The Buffalo Bills came into the 2026 NFL Draft with just 7 picks, including only 2 in the top 91 spots, but they flipped. The script on day 1 without grabbing a single first round player. They traded back from the 26th spot to 28th with the Houston Texans, then shipped that to the New England Patriots for 31st. Overall. Finally, they dealt the 31st pick to the Tennessee Titans, landing the 35th selection in round 2. Those moves bumped them up to 9 total picks, with 3 now in the top 101 slots, giving general manager Brandon Bean more ammo, too. Work with. Fans and analysts of buzzing, handing out high marks like an A- for the front office martes, especially since this draft ain't top heavy with. Elite talent anyway. Perfect for stocking up on swings. Buffalo's needs hit wide receiver less hard after snagging DJ.

1:01More in the off season, but they still eye the secondary, defensive line, linebackers, and maybe offensive guard. Plenty of past rushers like Texas A&M's Cassius Howe and Missouri Zaya on Young remain. Plus just 2 corners and 2 linebackers win in round 1. Now sitting pretty at pick 35, the Bills are primed to build depth where it counts, turning draft capital into a deeper roster plush.
