The Buffalo Bills ended the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft on Thursday without making a pick as they traded back three times on the first day to accumulate more draft capital. Buffalo was going to be on the clock early on for Friday's second round and despite the fact that they could have traded back, they decided to stand pat with their 35th overall pick.

With the 35th pick in the draft, the Bills selected Clemson edge defender TJ Parker, making him the first pick for Buffalo in this draft class as the Bills seek to rebuild their defensive line.
