The Buffalo Bills made significant investments in their defense during the 2025 NFL Draft, aiming to address the shortcomings that plagued them in the previous playoff run. Despite leading the NFL in total points during both the regular season and playoffs in 2024, their defense faltered, culminating in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. This defeat marked their fourth consecutive playoff elimination at the hands of Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid. The Bills are optimistic about their drafted edge rusher, who they hope will be a key contributor to strengthening the defense.
