In three weeks, NFL general managers, coaches and front-office personnel will gather in Pittsburgh, PA for the 2026 NFL Draft. The Buffalo Bills currently have seven selections, beginning with pick 26 in the first round.<\/p>\n
With the draft date approaching, there have been a bevy of mock drafts produced. Each one has its own spin in trying to predict how the Bills will address their remaining roster needs through the draft.<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks examines the latest batch of mock drafts to see if there\u2019s a consensus opinion about what the Bills will do at pick 26, and why Georgia linebacker CJ Allen (pictured below) would fill a significant void at inside linebacker.<\/p>\n
No clear consensus for what Bills do at pick 26<\/p>\n
Unlike the last time we peered at the mock drafts, when wide receiver seemed to be the consensus position the Bills would go after at the end of the first round, one week later and many draft pundits seem uncertain as to Buffalo\u2019s go-to move in Round 1.<\/p>\n
Among the names linked to the Bills with the 26th overall pick: Indiana wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. (pictured below), Georgia linebacker CJ Allen (pictured above), Auburn edge rusher Keldrick Faulk, Washington wide receiver Denzel Boston, Texas A&M edge rusher Cashius Howell, and Ohio State defensive tackle Kayden McDonald.<\/p>\n
