Louisville wide receiver Chris Bell could be a player to watch for the Buffalo Bills ahead of the 2026 NFL draft.
As things stand, the Bills hold the No. 26 overall pick in the first round. The team has seven total picks scattered around the board. Buffalo is missing their second-round pick (traded for D.J. Moore), but the team picks twice in the fifth round.
If things hold there, general manager Brandon Beane and the Bills front office could have plenty of options to consider when turning in their selection cards.
During the run up to the draft, which starts April 23, Bills Wire will compile information on prospects Buffalo could have interest in. Specifically, what scouting reports and draft profiles say about their game.
Bell, who had a pre-draft visit with the Bills, is up next in our prospect previews.
