Round 1 of the NFL Draft came to a momentous conclusion for the Buffalo Bills and Bills Mafia on Thursday night, culminating in the Bills selection of CB Maxwell Hairston from Kentucky with the 30th overall pick.

Hairston was one of the top defensive cornerbacks in the NFL Draft and viewed as one of the best players available when the Bills finally got to select late in round one. He fills a major position of need for the Bills defense and will be expected to compete for a starting role opposite Christian Benford.

multiple picks in the 4th, 5th, and 6th rounds.

  • Round 4 (109): from Chicago
  • Round 4 (132)

Look for GM Brandon Beane to make some moves with the plethora of remaining picks, seeking to move around the draft board for additional picks or to draft players the Bills believe are specific fits for the needs.

After selecting CB Max Hairston in round one, the Bills will want to fill defense holes at edge rusher and defensive tackle. This draft is known to be especially deep at defensive tackle.
