The Buffalo Bills are making constant changes to the organization this offseason. When Buffalo finished with a 12-5 record last season and lost to the Denver Broncos in the AFC Divisional Round in overtime, they decided to fire Sean McDermott as head coach. The Bills decided to keep Brandon Beane in the front office. Not only was he kept, but Beane was promoted from general manager to president of football operations.

Bills quarterback Josh Allen answers a range of questions after the press conference introducing Joe Brady as the new head coach at the Bills field house in Orchard Park on Jan. 29, 2026.
Many issues with him have been how poorly he has drafted over the years. Someway somehow, he was able to keep his job. There is no question that they need more help for quarterback Josh Allen. They could not have Brandin Cooks, Khalil Shakir, and Keon Coleman as the top three wide receivers heading into next season. Buffalo decided to trade for wide receiver D.J. Moore from the Chicago Bears. The Bills will also have the 26th overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft and they better not mess up this selection this time around.

Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt (10) celebrates his touchdown run with teammate Jordyn Tyson (0) against the Mississippi State Bulldogs at Mountain America Stadium in Tempe on Sept. 7, 2024.
Profootballfocus.com writer Jordan Plocher created his latest 2026 NFL Mock Draft. With the 26th overall selection, he has Buffalo selecting wide receiver Jordyn Tyson from the Arizona State Sun Devils. Plocher said, “Concerns about Tyson’s injury history caused the talented wide receiver to fall right into the lap of the Buffalo Bills in this mock. Buffalo traded its second-round pick this year to the Bears for wide receiverDJ Moore, but because consistent wide receiver play has held the team back from a Super Bowl, there is still work to be done. (Also, the 2026 season will be Moore’s ninth in the NFL, and Tyson will have just turned 22-years old.)
The Bills haven’t had a consistent receiving threat other thanKhalil Shakir for the past two seasons, although Shakir does most of his work on shorter routes. Buffalo could use an intermediate separator, someone who can consistently get open in the 10-19-yard range downfield. Tyson’s career average depth of target is 13.3 yards, and he earned outstanding PFF receiving grades at the intermediate depth in each of the past two seasons: 95.6 in 2024 and 93.8 in 2025.”
Despite the injuries for Tyson, drafting him 26th overall would be a steal for Buffalo. He is 6’2″ and weighs 200 lbs. Even if the Bills were to draft him, there is no doubt that there would be some fans who would be critical of Beane for drafting an injury prone player. He has not had a good track record of drafting players over the last few seasons.
Tyson last season with Arizona State caught 61 passes for 711 yards receiving and eight touchdowns, along with averaging 11.0 yards per reception. He also rushed for four yards on two carries and one touchdown, along with averaging 2.0 yards per carry. Buffalo might be better off drafting Washington Huskies wide receiver Denzel Boston instead 26th overall if he still on the board along with Tyson. The Bills no doubt need to get Allen another wide receiver because trading for Moore should not be enough.
