Bills Eye Future Sack Machine! Buffalo Linked to Alabama Star in Bold 2026 Mock Draft
Share this article:
With Joey Bosa balling out on a one-year deal, Buffalo’s defense looks fierce—but his uncertain future means the Bills might reload in the 2026 NFL Draft. Alabama’s LT Overton, a 6’5” athletic monster, could be the next cornerstone of the Bills’ defensive front.
The Buffalo Bills are off to a blazing 3-0 start, thanks in part to the immediate impact of veteran pass rusher Joey Bosa. Signed on a one-year deal, Bosa has already forced three fumbles in just three games, collapsing pockets and giving Buffalo’s defense the edge it’s been looking for.
But here’s the catch: Bosa’s future in Buffalo is far from secure. If he continues this Pro Bowl-caliber pace, he’ll likely command a massive contract in free agency. The Bills could extend him, but if they don’t, edge rusher becomes a top priority.
That’s where Alabama’s LT Overton enters the conversation. At 6’5” with elite athleticism, Overton isn’t dominating the stat sheet yet, but scouts see his physical tools as first-round worthy. Buffalo, known for investing early picks on defensive linemen like Ed Oliver, Greg Rousseau, and Boogie Basham, could turn to Overton as their next defensive cornerstone.
With A.J. Epenesa also in a contract year, Buffalo’s pass-rush future could hinge on draft day decisions. For now, Bosa’s presence is fueling an undefeated start, but his looming contract situation makes the 2026 NFL Draft one of the most intriguing subplots of the Bills’ season.
