Last Thursday it was announced that the Buffalo Bills would be trading their second-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to the Chicago Bears for wide receiver DJ Moore and a fifth round pick. As you could imagine, all of the mock drafts that had One Bills Drive selecting a receiver in the first round will likely change their tune moving forward.
Even though the Moore trade doesn’t become official until the official start of the new league year on Wednesday, new mock drafts have the Bills pivoting to the defensive side of the ball. USA Today’s Nate Davis has Buffalo addressing their need at defensive end, with Auburn’s Keldric Faulk as the pick in his latest mock. Faulk would be a flexible addition to the Bills, who Davis notes could kick inside on obvious passing downs.
While I’m sure that mock drafts will continue to fluctuate as free agency matures, the early shift has the Bills focusing on the defensive side of the ball. Be sure to share your thoughts below on these latest mocks, or additional prospects you’d like the Bills to consider.
