An evaluation of the Buffalo Bills selecting defensive back Toriano Pride Jr. in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL draft.
The Buffalo Bills added to their secondary by selecting Missouri cornerback Toriano Pride Jr. with the 220th overall pick in the seventh round. It was the third defensive back taken by the Bills in the 2026 draft (CB Davison Igbinosun at pick No.
62, S Jalon Kilgore at pick No. 167). Pride Jr.
is a lightning-fast corner who ran a 4. 32 40-yard dash at the combine and held his own in the SEC despite being a bit undersized for the position (5-10, 185). The senior recorded two interceptions with one being returned for a touchdown in each of his last two seasons.
He has great recovery speed and plays the deep ball well. He is also willing to come downhill in run support. Bottom line The Bills and general manager Brandon Beane are continuing to revamp and retool the secondary for first-year defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard.
