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

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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Updated April 4, 2026, 8:36 a.m. ET The Buffalo Bills have more business to do with the Chicago…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":853214,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2070],"tags":[95878,374,692,391,2493,7,6,97205,97206,97116,95882,96033,96900,96031,95896,95888,95899,96099,95883,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-853213","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-chicago-bears","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-bears","10":"tag-chicago","11":"tag-chicago-bears","12":"tag-chicagobears","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-sstssportsnflbills","16":"tag-sstsnbills","17":"tag-tag2026-nfl-draft","18":"tag-tagamerican-football","19":"tag-tagbuffalo-bills","20":"tag-tagdj-moore","21":"tag-tagjosh-allen","22":"tag-tagnational-sports","23":"tag-tagnfl","24":"tag-tagoverall-neutral","25":"tag-tagsec-conference-football","26":"tag-tagsports-news","27":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116346622383858082","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/853213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=853213"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/853213\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/853214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=853213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=853213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=853213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
