The Buffalo Bills closed out the NFL Draft by adding eight players on the final day, continuing a busy weekend after waiting until Day 2 to make their first selections. Buffalo’s class features a mix of defensive reinforcements and offensive depth pieces aimed at strengthening the roster across the board.
The Bills’ draft began Friday with Clemson edge rusher T.J. Parker at No. 35 overall. Parker, a 2025 All-ACC honorable mention, finished his college career with 21.5 sacks and ranks among Clemson’s all-time leaders in both sacks and fumble recoveries. Buffalo then traded up to No. 62 to select Ohio State cornerback Davison Igbinosun, addressing the secondary with a physical coverage option.
On Day 3, Buffalo focused on building depth. Boston College offensive tackle Jude Bowry was taken at No. 102 after a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders that also netted a future seventh-round pick. The Bills followed by drafting UConn wide receiver Skyler Bell, who led the FBS with 1,278 receiving yards and set a program record with 13 touchdowns in 2025.
Defensively, linebacker Kaleb Elarms-Orr (TCU) brings production after a 130-tackle season, while later picks added versatility and competition. Safety Jalon Kilgore (South Carolina), defensive tackle Zane Durant (Penn State), cornerback Toriano Pride Jr. (Missouri), punter Tommy Doman (Florida), and guard Ar’maj Reed-Adams (Texas A&M) rounded out the class.
