The biggest question facing every WNBA team in training camp
WNBA training camps open with key questions for each team.
The Buffalo Bills are set for a defensive overhaul under new head coach Joe Brady and defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard, who will implement a 3-4 defense. With seven picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, including the 26th overall, the Bills aim to strengthen their defense, particularly the linebacker position.
The Buffalo Bills are entering their first season with Joe Brady as the team’s head coach, and they’re also preparing for a defensive overhaul under new defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard, the former Bills safety who is expected to adopt a base 3-4 defense in Buffalo this year.
The Bills currently have seven selections in the 2026 NFL Draft, beginning with pick No. 26 towards the end of the first round. Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by examining how Buffalo could get better on defense through the first two rounds of the draft, including addressing the linebacker position by adding a talent like former Georgia linebacker CJ Allen (pictured below).
So far this offseason, the Bills have yet to address their inside linebackers in free agency. Combined with the penchant for Jim Leonhard to often employ two edge rushing outside linebackers in his schemes with the Denver Broncos, it certainly makes sense for Buffalo to add a linebacker in the first two rounds of the draft.
Potential fits include CJ Allen, high-upside Missouri middle linebacker Josiah Trotter (pictured below), and Texas Tech tackling machine Jacob Rodriguez, who could serve as a long-term building block at the position.
Plus, how adding a well-rounded inside linebacker remains a priority for the Bills; hear Greg Cosell’s thoughts on the draft’s top linebacker prospects; get the scouting report on Josiah Trotter and Cincinnati linebacker Jake Golday; ponder whether Buffalo should turn its focus to using pick No. 26 on a run-stuffing defensive tackle; and more!
