Over at SB Nation this week, several writers listed out the biggest regrets for their team in the history of the NFL Draft. Of course I wrote up a blurb about the Buffalo Bills, and I went with a story I covered from soup to nuts here at Buffalo Rumblings.

The first round of the 2025 NFL Draft has concluded, and Bills general manager Brandon Beane held true to his words by adding a defensive asset to his roster. At pick No. 30, Kentucky cornerback Max Hairston became the newest early-round investment, as they’ll hope Hairston becomes the long-term starter with top cornerback Christian Benford.

Maxwell Hairston was the fourth DB off the board in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Buffalo Bills selected the former Kentucky football DB at No. 30 overall.
