Bills projected to take SEC star in 2026 NFL Mock Draft

The Buffalo Bills are entering a season that could define their franchise for years to come. After another appearance in the AFC Championship Game, the Bills were eliminated by the Kansas City Chiefs for the fourth time. Buffalo took a very defensive-heavy approach this offseason, being that their defense was the first to give up 30 points to the Chiefs in the 2024 season.

While they took several defensive linemen in the 2025 NFL Draft, and signed multiple free agents on the defensive line, as well, Joe DeLeone of PFSN projects that Buffalo will draft Georgia DT Christen Miller.

"It’s so easy to project Georgia defensive linemen to become first-round picks in any draft class," DeLeone writes. "However, Christen Miller justifiably lives up to the hype of being picked this high because of his powerful lower body and ability to blow up rushing plays at the line of scrimmage consistently."

Miller has eight tackles for loss over the last two seasons with the Bulldogs, as well as 41 tackles.
