The Buffalo Bills have made a notable move prior to the 2025 NFL Draft by trading cornerback Kaiir Elam to the Dallas Cowboys. The transaction involved sending Elam, a former first-round pick, along with a 2025 sixth-round draft pick to Dallas in exchange for a 2025 fifth-round pick and a 2026 seventh-round pick. Additionally, the Bills have secured two fifth-round compensatory picks due to the losses of Gabe Davis and Leonard Floyd last offseason.

General Manager Brandon Beane has effectively utilized free agency to strengthen the defensive line with acquisitions such as Larry Ogunjobi, Michael Hoecht, and Joey Bosa, while also adding wide receiver Josh Palmer to provide further support for star quarterback Josh Allen, who recently earned the MVP title. Despite these additions, the Bills are expected to continue addressing both the defensive line and the secondary during the upcoming draft, holding a total of ten picks over the weekend.
