It is officially draft week as the 2026 NFL Draft will kick off in Pittsburgh this Thursday. The Buffalo Bills will be a team that is closely watched simply because they have a ton of needs on defense to fill and they have limited resources to do it. They won’t pick until No. 26 and then after that, they will be waiting until the 91st pick to make their next selection.
Buffalo is in an interesting spot because they clearly aren’t rebuilding despite having a new head coach, yet changes to the roster have been made and there may be more to come. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Bills’ wide receiver Keon Coleman, along with other players across the league, have been listed as trade candidates “that could gain interest” during the NFL Draft.
"Those who could gain interest include Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr., Titans quarterback Will Levis, Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler, Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr., Colts cornerback Kenny Moore II, Giants edge Kayvon Thibodeaux, Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman and 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, among others." said Schefter.
Could Bills actually trade Keon Coleman during NFL Draft?
The short answer to the question, absolutely. Anyone can be traded. Coleman was a big topic of discussion this offseason, especially after Sean McDermott was fired back in January. His maturity has been the biggest concern throughout the fanbase and the organization. However, Joe Brady has been talking about how excited he is to work with Coleman even more as a head coach.
It’s one thing to say it, but it’s another thing for it to actually happen. While trading Coleman would not be surprising, it also would be due to the fact that Buffalo needs not just another wide receiver opposite of D.J. Moore, but they need depth as well.
With everything that has happened with Coleman going back to last season, him possibly getting traded would make sense. Does it seem likely? It’s hard to say due to two reasons. First, he is on a rookie contract and Brady has worked with him the last two seasons and maybe this third season is where he can shine. Secondly, who knows if any team is willing to give up some kind of draft compensation for him.
Outside of Coleman’s Week 1 breakout performance against the Baltimore Ravens last season, he was unproductive and was a healthy scratch for a handful of games. You could argue both sides as to why Coleman should or should not get traded. Either way, we will find out here real soon.
