The Buffalo Bills are one of the best teams in the NFL in recent years but are not without their faults.

The front office led by general manager Brandon Beane did its best to improve the roster throughout the offseason...namely via the 2026 draft and free agency. Where did the team succeed the most?

Here are Bills Wire's three most improved position groups on the roster from the 2026 offseason:

The Bills invested in their secondary via the draft. On the outside, second-round rookie Davison Igbinosun could push former first-round selection Maxell Hairston for playing time.

In addition, fifth-round rookie Jalon Kilgore is listed as a safety but could see snaps as a nickel cornerback as well.

With the switch to a 3-4 defensive front under new coordinator Jim Leonhard, the Bills needed to add personnel to fit the change in scheme. In doing so, the depth chart looks better on paper on the edge.

Pro Bowler Bradley Chubb was signed during free agency. Then Buffalo's eventual top draft pick was TJ Parker. They join Greg Rousseau in what could be a strong group.

It remains to be seen by how much the Bills improve at receiver for quarterback Josh Allen. However, on paper, the group lacked size. In trading for DJ Moore and taking Skyler Bell at the draft in Round 4... size is there now, at least.
