Bills snag Auburn edge rusher in new mock draft
16 Apr
Summary
- Bills hold only one pick in the first two rounds.
- Auburn edge defender Keldric Faulk is the selection.
- Faulk had two sacks and five tackles for loss last season.
As the 2026 NFL Draft approaches, Mel Kiper Jr. has unveiled his final mock draft, extending to the second round. The Buffalo Bills are slated to have limited activity in the early stages of the draft, holding just one selection in the first two rounds. This sole pick is projected at No. 26 overall in the first round, with no anticipated trades.
With their premier pick, Kiper forecasts the Bills will select Keldric Faulk, an edge defender from Auburn University. Faulk demonstrated his potential last season, accumulating two sacks and five tackles for loss across 12 games played. The Bills' defensive unit, which recently added Bradley Chubb, is also facing departures such as AJ Epenesa and Joey Bosa. Coupled with a transition to a new defensive scheme under coordinator Jim Leonhard, Faulk emerges as a potentially astute selection for the team's future.
