Maxwell Hairston speaks in a press conference after being selected by the Buffalo Bills as the number 30 pick in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft at Lambeau Field.

“Not taking a receiver until No. 240 (Kaden Prather) was curious. The Bills’ first five picks went to defense, only the second time in the common draft era they’ve done that (2006). Chase Lundt is a depth right tackle. Jackson Hawes is a blocking tight end. While Buffalo walked away from the draft with some defensive upgrades, quarterback Josh Allen’s unit didn’t improve this month. Buffalo could regret not doing more there.”

The lack of weapons for Allen was the Bills’ biggest question coming into last season. They traded Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans, and Gabe Davis left for the Jacksonville Jaguars. But Allen won MVP with Khalil Shakir as his leading receiver with just 821 yards.

The Bills answered the questions last year with a lack of elite talent on the outside. But do Allen and the running game have enough juice to make it work again?
