Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky
Rasul Douglas struggled in 2024 and is set to become a free agent, leaving cornerback as a major need for Buffalo along with the defensive line. Heading into the combine, Hairston was clumped into a cluster of corners who were in the late-Day 1 to early-Day 2 range. But a
good performance in Indy catapulted him to the top of the group, highlighted by his 4.28-second 40.
Hairston is a perfect scheme fit for the Bills and can keep up with any receiver. His loose movements and fluidity allow him to easily change directions and attack the ball out of the air. He maintained his physicality this past season even though a nagging shoulder injury limited him to five games.

T.J. Sanders, DT, South Carolina
The Bills have two major issues along their defensive line -- lack of depth and not being able to finish when rushing quarterbacks. Sanders solves both problems, as he routinely generates pressure up the middle and his 2.40-second average time to first pressure this past season led all FBS defensive linemen.

Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas
Mukuba, an interchangeable safety who can wear multiple hats in the secondary, would be perfect for the Bills. His breakout senior season resulted in a career-high five interceptions, proving he has the ball skills (and instincts as a run defender) to be an early starter.
