Buffalo is projected to target a cornerback, defensive tackle, safety or edge rusher with at least two of their first three picks. The Bills own No. 30 overall in the first round and Nos. 56 and 62 in the second round. They enter the draft with 10 total selections.

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 2025 NFL draft will roll on with Day 2 on Friday from Green Bay. The Buffalo Bills got things started with Maxwell Hairston. The cornerback from Kentucky was the team's first-round selection at No. 30 overall. Heading into the second day, Buffalo has nine more picks to work with.
