The Buffalo Bills welcomed nine rookies from the 2025 NFL Draft class to One Bills Drive this week, with general manager Brandon Beane placing heavy emphasis on defense in the wake of last season’s performance. One Bills Drive’s preferred plan in Round 1 was to sit and let the board fall to them, which allowed cornerback Maxwell Hairston to land with Buffalo at pick 30.
After selecting Hairston, the Bills continued prioritizing defense with four additional picks on that side of the ball between Rounds 2 and 5. With their remaining four draft picks, Buffalo made moves to add three players on offense and one additional defensive back.
