Buffalo News Mock Draft 3.0: A trade down nets the Bills some much-needed draft capital
’34. Buffalo Bills. Zion Young, Edge, Missouri. The Bills aren’t afraid of adding a little bit of attitude this offseason. Young plays with it. From his nfl.com scouting report: “Long, well-built edge rusher with the size, strength and temperament engineered for trench battles at the next level. Young is a fiery alpha who brings immense energy to the field and locker room.” A 6-5, 262-pounder, Young was a first-team All-Southeastern Conference selection in 2025, leading the Tigers with 16½ tackles for loss and two forced fumbles. His sack production was good, but not great, finishing with 6½. He spent two years at Michigan State before transferring to Missouri.’

Bills GM leaves door open for reunion with beloved former All-Pro cornerback

A Super Bowl victory is the only thing that can remove it. Close-but-no-victory-cigar won’t do anymore. Been there, done that. Just win-it-all, baby, is the new mantra at One Bills Drive, at least among fans.’
Sean McDermott Is Keeping His Options Open With Coaching, Media Roles
‘“I love coaching,” McDermott said Wednesday on the Rich Eisen Show. “Love it. I think [I miss] just being a part of something bigger, being a part of a team.

But it’s also a year of opportunity, in a lot of ways, to grow and lean in on my family, as we already talked about. But I think more than anything, it’s just being a part of a team.”’

‘“With DJ Moore now in the fold and no second-round pick, it might seem like overkill for the Bills to add another receiver at this point,” Miller wrote. “That was my original thought, but the feedback I received throughout the past two weeks was to not rule out Concepcion. “The Bills have guys, but they don’t have a guy that really scares a defense. [Concepcion would] be DJ Moore in two years,” said a rival AFC East coach I spoke to about the fit.”’
The reason the Bills can’t take a WR with NFL Draft 26th overall pick in 1st round
