The Buffalo Bills<\/a> have more business to do with the Chicago Bears, according to NFL.com’s latest 2026 NFL draft mock.<\/p>\n

In the outlet’s latest draft projection, the Bills and Bears swing another trade after their deal involving receiver DJ Moore this offseason, this time in Round 1 of the upcoming draft.<\/p>\n

While it’s just to move up one spot in the first round from No. 26 to No. 25. In the mock trade, the Bills give up a fifth-round selection to make sure they can draft Texas A&M wide receiver KC Concepcion.<\/p>\n

Concepcion and the Bills are connected prior to the draft as he was in Buffalo for a top-30 pre-draft visit<\/a>.That indicates the Bills likely have interest in him.<\/p>\n

In three collegiate seasons, Concepcion caught 185 passes for 2,218 receiving yards and 25 touchdowns.<\/p>\n

NFL.com’s<\/a> breakdown on the trade and Concepcion can be found below:<\/p>\n

Acquiring DJ Moore from Chicago earlier this offseason was a good first step in building a strong receiver room, but the Bills deal with the Bears (again) to ensure Josh Allen has a full complement of targets. Buffalo sends the fifth-round pick it received in the Moore trade back to Chicago to stave off other interested trade partners. The Texas A&M wideout is considered a slot receiver by some, but he lined up outside more often than inside last season. He has the size (6-foot, 196 pounds) to challenge corners on the boundary.<\/p>\n
