We expected the Bills to lean towards defense in the draft and indeed they did. Six of their nine selections were used for players on that side of the ball. The three picks of offensive players were all made on day three.

With Buffalo's offense in good shape thanks to MVP Josh Allen, GM Brandon Beane used the 2025 NFL Draft to replenish the defense.

Maxwell Hairston is the name on the minds of Buffalo Bills fans. Hairston, a cornerback from Kentucky, was Buffalo's top selection at No. 30 overall in Round 1 of the 2025 NFL draft. At the team's first pick at this year's draft, Hairston will have a chance to make an impact with the Bills. You'll want to get to know such a player now.
