The Buffalo Bills <\/a>appear to have their free agency class<\/a> all set. So what\u2019s left for them to do to add to their 2026 roster?<\/p>\n

Now, general manager and president of football operations Brandon Beane can focus on the draft. With seven total picks, including the No. 26 overall selection<\/a> in the first round, the Bills can improve their team from here by adding young pieces to this revamped lineup and s<\/p>\n

Buffalo still clearly has some areas of concern to address. Thankfully, with this year\u2019s draft class, some of the Bills\u2019 biggest weaknesses revolve around some this classes deepest position groups. <\/p>\n

Adding to WR room\"Denzel<\/p>\n

Even with the trade for D.J. Moore<\/a> and bringing back Trent Sherfield, Buffalo could still add another target to Josh Allen\u2019s disposal.<\/p>\n

Of course, the Bills could address the need at No. 26. But according to PFF\u2019s big board<\/a> has 17 receivers within its top 100 players.<\/p>\n

There’s big-bodied options like Denzel Boston and Chris Bell, speedsters like Skyler Bell and Chris Brazzell II, and do-it-all weapons like Germie Bernard and Omar Cooper Jr.<\/p>\n

More DL depth\"Keldric<\/p>\n

Now that Buffalo will be running a 3-4 defense<\/a> under new defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard, a plethora of d-linemen can be helpful. There is already a good mix of front-seven players for the Bills with Bradley Chubb joining the fray<\/a> too.<\/p>\n

But there’s room for more pieces. On the PFF’s big board, 16 of the top 100 players are EDGE players. Add in another nine defensive tackles, and you’ve got a deep DL class for Buffalo to trove through.<\/p>\n

Some EDGE players who could make sense with the scheme change include Auburn’s Keldric Faulk, Oklahoma’s R Mason Thomas and UCF’s Malachi Lawrence. Interior defenders that make sense include Ohio State’s Kayden McDonald, Texas Tech’s Lee Hunter and Iowa State’s Domonique Orange.<\/p>\n

LB class also looks appealing\"Jacob<\/p>\n

The LB group is not as deep \u2014 eight within PFF’s top 100 \u2014 but there are some viable names availble. <\/p>\n

There’s Jacob Rodriguez out of Texas Tech, Cincinnati’s
Jake Golday and Pittsburgh’s Kyle Louis. Even Georgia’s C.J. Allen has been billed to the Bills in recent mock drafts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Decisions are still on the table for Beane and his staff. But there is a ton of talent for them to take from.<\/p>\n

Quick thoughts on #Bills<\/a> 3 new signings…
Sherfield: ideal depth WR. ST contributor.
Won’t stop big draft add.
Corbet: IOL depth, Alec Anderson comp for starting OG
Cushenberry: Only been a starting center.
McGovern has that spot locked.
Think Beane buying draft pick. If\u2026<\/p>\n
