Buffalo Bills Target Explosive Edge Rusher Malachi Lawrence in 2026 NFL Draft to Supercharge Defense
The Buffalo Bills are projected to target UCF edge rusher Malachi Lawrence with the 26th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, according to PFSN’s latest mock. Despite quarterback Josh Allen’s stellar play, the team seeks a significant defensive boost, particularly in their pass rush, after a middling 2025 season. Lawrence, an athletic standout with a 20-sack college career and impressive NFL Combine numbers, is viewed as the game-changer Buffalo needs to achieve greater postseason success.
