On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran drops his third and final 2026 full Buffalo Bills mock draft just hours ahead of the real NFL draft that begins on Thursday night, an evening where the Bills may or may not even end up making a first-round selection.

Before launching the mock Patrick explains what his biggest dilemma for the Bills is this year----need versus value. There's little question that when you look up future contracts based on today's market that wide receiver and edge rusher are two premium positions the Bills could address first and both would be perfectly wise. However, when looking at the current state of the roster and past year January performances you can make a sound argument that improving at stopping the run should be of the utmost importance, and a stout defensive tackle and linebacker are the team's biggest draft needs.

But what happens if popular mock pick and nearby Rochester native wide receiver KC Concepcion happens to be on the board at 26? Do you add another weapon that some experts consider as perhaps the next Stefon Diggs minus the off-field drama?

One thing's for sure---Patrick's very open coming into the draft to trading down, as it makes sense in so many ways. He explains precisely what his goal with that is, who'd he be disappointed with in the first round and much more.
