Kamara, who starred in the title game with four tackles, a sack and a blocked punt, has piled up pressure across two college seasons, recording 12 sacks in that span. Last year he totaled 34 tackles and 2 sacks, after beginning his college career at James Madison.
Entering the draft, Kamara is projected as a Day 3 selection, with potential to contribute in 2026 as a rotational edge rusher. His ability on special teams could also help him carve out a role early in his NFL career.
Physically, Kamara measures 6-foot-1 and 265 pounds, delivering explosiveness, a polished swim move, and effective run defense. While his burst and hand usage stand out, scouts note concerns about his length and how his frame will hold up against NFL tackles.
Buffalo owns seven picks in the 2026 draft, and general manager Brandon Beane has emphasized that day-two and day-three selections can yield immediate depth and upside, with the possibility of using a first-round pick on a long-term contributor. The draft is scheduled for April 23-25 in Pittsburgh.
