Bills Look to Bolster Defense in 2025 NFL Draft: Complete Pick List

Last season was a landmark year for the Buffalo Bills as their star quarterback, Josh Allen, captured the NFL MVP award for the first time. Under Allen's leadership, the Bills clinched their fifth consecutive AFC East division title. Yet, their postseason journey was cut short once again in a tightly contested AFC Championship Game, where they fell to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs by three points. This marks the fourth playoff elimination by the Chiefs in five years, a challenging hurdle the Bills are eager to overcome in 2025, as they pursue their first Super Bowl appearance since 1993.

With one of the most potent offenses in the league, Buffalo’s focus in the upcoming draft is expected to shift toward fortifying their defense. The Bills hold a strategic position with two second-round picks, including one obtained from Houston following the Stefon Diggs trade. However, a midseason trade for Amari Cooper with Cleveland last October left them without a third-round selection.

Buffalo Bills 2025 NFL Draft Picks:

  • Round 1: No. 30
  • Round 2: No. 56 (from MIN via HOU)
  • Round 2: No. 62
  • Round 4: No. 109 (from CHI)
  • Round 4: No. 132

  • Round 5: No. 173
  • Round 6: No. 177 (from NYG)
  • Round 6: No. 206

With these selections, Buffalo plans to strengthen their roster further and reverse their postseason fortunes. The draft also serves as an annual reminder of the renewal process for all teams, as they strategize the blend of talent necessary for a championship run.

Both fans and analysts eagerly anticipate the moves the Bills will make in the hope of finally edging past their playoff rivals. As the draft unfolds, eyes will be on Buffalo as they aim to draft players who could potentially change the narrative for the upcoming seasons.
