That could repeat in 2026, as PFSN believes Buffalo will take another corner to hopefully play opposite Hairston for years to come.
PFSN shows former Arizona corner Tacario Davis, who transferred to Washington this offseason, as the Bills’ pick with the No. 30 overall pick in 2026.
The draft order has been established using the PFSN Mock Draft Simulator, which you can use to predict every round.
ROUND 1, PICK 30 – Buffalo Bills: Tacario Davis, CB, Washington
“Tacario Davis featured heavily in mock drafts this time last year,” PFSN wrote. “Still, he ultimately opted to return to college for his senior season, transferring to the Washington Huskies and reuniting with Jedd Fisch. The former Arizona Wildcats cornerback has exceptional length at 6’4” and 195 pounds, while also possessing quick footwork, fluid body movement, and innate anticipation and awareness.”

Davis’ three seasons at Arizona saw him improve his draft stock.
He finished the 2024 season having played in all 12 games, including 11 starts. Davis notched 44 tackles and six pass breakups and was named Second-Team All-Big 12 and was a semi-finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award.
He posted seven tackles, all solo and five pass breakups against No. 10 Utah in a 23-10 win in Week 5 and earned Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week.
