The Buffalo Bills added nine rookies in the 2025 NFL draft, and they have mostly received good draft grades from national media.
Six of the picks were on the defensive side of the ball as the Bills and general manager Brandon Beane made it clear they wanted to upgrade that side of the ball.
Beane not only added tons of talent to the defensive line and the secondary, but he got good value on the picks. Specifically, Landon Jackson was projected as the 39th-best prospect according to Pro Football Focus, and the Bills picked him at 72 overall.
