Friday Apr 25, 2025
In this episode, we dive into the recent NFL draft selection made by the Buffalo Bills, who have picked cornerback Max Hairston from Kentucky in the first round. This choice has sparked discussions among fans, especially since Hairston wasn’t a widely speculated choice for the first round.

With the excitement surrounding his energetic presence and versatility in both zone and man coverage, fans are optimistic about his future contributions on the field.
Join us as we analyze the potential impact of Hairston’s arrival, discuss the next steps in the draft, and speculate on the opportunities the Bills are looking to address in the upcoming rounds.
