2026 NFL Draft: Bills hosted positive run defender on top-30 visit

The Buffalo Bills have consistently looked at positive run defender prospects ahead of the 2026 NFL draft and Iowa State’s Domonique Orange onto that list.

According to Essentially Sports’ Tony Pauline, the defensive tackle had a top-30 visit in Buffalo earlier this month.

With the change to a 3-4 defensive front (3 D-line, 4 LBs) under new coordinator Jim Leonhard, the Bills are making a big push at finding the right personnel for the unit. Former head coach Sean McDermott ran a 4-3 defense.

NFL.com labels Orange as a potential Day 2 draft pick. In that area of the draft, Buffalo currently just holds the No. 91 selection in Round 3.

At 6-foot-3 and 322 pounds, Orange would bring a big body to the nose tackle position in Buffalo. Pro Football Focus graded Orange a positive 68.3 overall mark for his efforts in 2025.

In 12 games played last season, Orange had 18 tackles, including half for a loss.
