Front Seven: Buffalo has used at least one top-100 pick on the front seven in each of the last eight drafts — don't be surprised if Brandon Beane and the Bills again dip their toes into the defensive line and/or linebacker draft pool come April.

Interior Offensive Line: Buffalo has taken only one swing at an offensive lineman before Round 5 during its last four drafts — getting more youth to work with should be a priority in the early rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft.

Wide Receiver: This is clearly an area where the team feels it needs improvement — the Bills wouldn't have made midseason moves to bring back old friend Gabe Davis, or traded for Brandin Cooks, if they were comfortable with their current group of pass catchers.

Quarterback: Perhaps the Dolphins try to give Tua one more chance and hope that a healthier group of receivers brings the former fifth-overall pick back to 2022-24 heights. Either way, adding some competition through the draft, or signing someone like Malik Willis, is paramount after this passing offense sputtered to such a halt in 2025.

Pass Catcher: Waddle, the sixth overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, is the last receiver this organization has taken with a top-85 overall pick since DeVante Parker all the way back in 2015–it wouldn't be surprising to see the front office throw multiple early-round darts at wide receiver and tight end come late April.

Secondary: It's about time the Dolphins break their four-draft streak of not using a top-50 pick on a defensive back of some shape or size.

Wide Receiver: New England has the cap space and draft capital to potentially make a serious move here for a legit stud. A reunion between Mike Vrabel and old friend A.J. Brown sure is provocative, while George Pickens (will he accept a franchise tag?) and Brandon Aiyuk (has he played his last snap in San Francisco?) could also feasibly be available in the trade streets.

Safety: Help will be needed in a secondary inside a room that was forced to heavily rely on rookie fourth-rounder Craig Woodson after somewhat surprisingly parting ways with former team captain Jabrill Peppers last August.

EDGE: The front office has used just one top-100 pick on the defensive line in their last four drafts combined, so adding bodies to a group that racked up the league's seventh-fewest sacks despite blitzing at the league's 12th-highest clip is encouraged.

Quarterback: The 2026 NFL Draft boasts only Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza as a sure-fire Round 1 pick. The signal-caller for the Jets will have to come via free agency or a trade.

Offensive Playmakers: The Jets have used back-to-back early first-round picks on the offensive line, so adding the best available playmaker at 16th overall — Jeremiyah Love, Makai Lemon or Jordyn Tyson? — would be warranted inside an offense that has scored the NFL's fewest points over the past five seasons.

Cornerback: Head coach Aaron Glenn loves to run man coverage, but doing so with the league's seventh-cheapest overall secondary is a recipe for disaster.
