Bills trade up to draft CB Davison Igbinosun, No. 62
The Buffalo Bills traded picks No. 66 and No. 182 to the Denver Broncos to move up to No. 62 and selected Ohio State cornerback Davison Igbinosun. The move came immediately after a run of tight ends ended with a TE taken at No. 61, denying the Broncos their first selection at 62. Igbinosun is a physically aggressive coverage corner WHO offers strong run support but logged nine pass interference calls in 2024 and three in 2025, raising technique concerns. The Bills add a press-man, physical corner WHO could compete for snaps right away as Buffalo reshapes its secondary.
