While there is plenty to unfold before the 2026 NFL draft in April, NFL.com took an early offseason three-round projection at the upcoming event.<\/p>\n

Heading into the draft, the Bills are slated to pick at No. 26 overall<\/a>. Buffalo holds one selection in each of the first three rounds.<\/p>\n

Using that ammo, NFL.com’s latest mock draft had the Bills trading up to No. 20 in a trade with the Dallas Cowboys. In doing so, Buffalo selects Washington wide receiver Denzel Boston.<\/p>\n

With a clear need for playmakers, the deal for the Bills makes sense.<\/p>\n

The Bills’ selections in NFL.com’s three-round mock<\/a> (including the trade) can be found below:<\/p>\n

Round 1, No. 20 (trade) Buffalo Bills<\/a>: WR Denzel Boston, Washington\"Nov<\/p>\n

NFL.com breakdown:<\/p>\n

With former receiver Stefon Diggs being the last Bills player top 1,000 receiving yards in a season (2023), they are still searching for a No. 1 option for Josh Allen. So they trade their third- and fourth-round selections to Dallas in exchange for this pick and a sixth-rounder in order to draft the talented Boston, who has great size (6-4, 210 pounds) and sticky hands.<\/p>\n

Round 2, No. 60 Buffalo Bills: EDGE Romello Height, Ohio State\"Texas<\/p>\n
