3 biggest needs for the Bills following the 2026 NFL Draft

The Buffalo Bills added ten players during the 2026 NFL draft as general manager Brandon Beane did a good job filling holes on the roster.

There were six defensive players taken, including their first two picks in EDGE T.J. Parker (pick 35) and cornerback Davison Igbinosun (pick 62). Despite the draft capital spent on defense, that side of the ball could use some additional help as it is under major construction this offseason.

Here are the three biggest positions of need for the Bills following the draft:

The Bills addressed the cornerback position early in the 2026 draft, taking Igbinosun in the second round, and yet they still lack depth on the outside. After Christian Benford, Maxwell Hairston, and Igbinosun, there are not a whole lot of proven commodities. Tre’Davious White and Dane Jackson have moved on, and Dorian Strong’s career is still up in the air after a promising start due to his neck injury.

The team added Toriano Pride Jr. in the seventh round but should look for a veteran to provide depth considering they’ve been depleted at corner the last couple postseasons.
