The first round of the 2025 NFL Draft has concluded, and Bills general manager Brandon Beane held true to his words by adding a defensive asset to his roster. At pick No. 30, Kentucky cornerback Max Hairston became the newest early-round investment, as they’ll hope Hairston becomes the long-term starter with top cornerback Christian Benford.

The Bills own 10 picks in the 2025 draft. They aim to fill a cornerback hole with Kentucky's Maxwell Hairston at No. 30.
