John Green’s 2026 Buffalo Bills Big Board: 108 NFL draft prospects

We’ve made it, everyone. 

The big day is finally here, and the opening round of the 2026 NFL Draft officially kicks off tonight at 8 p.m. ET at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The long anticipated event will surely bring a few surprises, but from what teams and what players?

Could Brandon Beane have something up his sleeve?

We’re going to have to find out.

With that said, this month at the blog I’ve done a total of 17 write-ups on potential Bills targets in this year’s draft class with my new “Five at Five” draft series — some more highly-ranked than others — as well as an assortment of other mock drafts and articles covering possible newcomers for Buffalo.

And, with that being the case, I have compiled more than 100 write-ups — 108 to be exact — on targets for you all to scour through over the next few days and weeks as we learn who the new rookies will be across the league, and — more importantly — in Western New York.

Hopefully, for my sanity and your reading pleasure, the Bills will select at least a few of the players that I have drawn my focus toward this April . . . I beg you, Brandon, please.

That is A LOT of targets, though, so maybe we have a shot at this thing, FAMbase readers.

We’ll have to see.

So, in conclusion of my draft work — which also ended with my final Bills-centric, seven-round mock draft this morning — I have listed every player right here on a “Bills Big Board,” of sorts, if you will.

I ranked each player from potential Day 1 targets all the way to UDFAs.

Is it every prospect that I think is a possible fit for Buffalo?

No, not even slightly.

It’s simply a “big board” of all the players I was able to cover for you this offseason, and each player is linked to the write-up I have of them on the FAMbase site.

Fair enough, right?

So, don’t shoot the messenger when the team selects a player that’s not on this list.

But, regardless of that inevitable occurrence, I figured it’d be a nice little resource to have every player listed in one place for you to look at.

Bills Mafia . . . Let’s do this damn thing.

HERE. WE. GO.
