With their first pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and at 35 overall as the third pick in Round 2, the Buffalo Bills selected edge rusher T.J. Parker out of Clemson. Parker’s fall could ultimately prove fruitful for Parker and the Bills.
Just 21 years old, Parker brings near-prototypical edge defender size at 6’3 5/8” tall and 263 pounds, with 33 1/8” arms and 9 1/2” hands. At the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, Parker ran a 4.63-second 40-yard dash, a 10-yard split time of 1.61 seconds, with a 34” vertical jump, and a 10’ broad jump.
In three seasons with Clemson, Parker played in 39 games, making 126 tackles (71 solo), 41.5 tackles for loss, 21.5 sacks, four pass defenses, six forced fumbles, and six fumble recoveries. It was that 2024 season where Parker opened eyes, totaling 57 tackles (35 solo), 19.5 tackles for loss, 11 sacks, one pass defense, six forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries.

Parker was voted Freshman All-American in 2023, and named Second-Team All-ACC for his play in 2024.

With the 62nd overall pick in this year’s draft, Buffalo selected cornerback Davison Igbinosun from Ohio State. A four-year college player who spent three seasons with Ohio State after his freshman campaign at Ole Miss, Igbinosun enters the NFL having played in 56 games, making 194 tackles (119 solo), four tackles for loss, four interceptions (for 47 yards), 27 pass defenses, and three fumble recoveries (for 17 yards). (All stats courtesy of Sports Reference.)
Igbinosun is viewed as a dependable and physical press corner with long arms, and someone who has a tendency to get handsy against the competition. That physicality can get him in trouble, evidenced by his 16 penalties during the 2024 college football season. In pre-draft analysis, some scouts noted Igbinosun’s ability to moonlight as a slot/nickel cornerback despite his true role as an outside corner.
Igbinosun will need to improve his fluidity when flipping to give chase out of a backpedal, where he’s shown to play with too much stiffness in the past. NFL quarterbacks will look to challenge Igbinosun early with deep routes, a facet of his game where his fundamentals tend to dip.
In its pre-draft coverage of Igbinosun, NFL.com gave him an overall prospect grade of “6.00” with “Traits or talent to be above-average backup.” At the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, Igbinosun measured in at 6’2 1/8” and 189 pounds, with 32 7/8” arms and 9 1/8” hands. Igbinosun clocked a 4.45-second 40-yard dash, a 1.58-second 10-yard split, adding a 34” vertical jump, and a 10’ broad jump.
Igbinosun was named First-Team All-Big Ten following his play during the 2025 college football season.

Leveraging yet another trade back, the Buffalo Bills added offensive tackle Jude Bowry out of Boston College early in Round 4 of the 2026 NFL Draft.
A four-year player at offensive tackle who logged 31 games in 23 starts for the BC Eagles, Bowry lands with One Bills Drive as someone with real potential to develop into a pivotal swing tackle option in the long term. Prioritizing Bowry early in the fourth round may represent a meaningful move to replace losing swing tackle Ryan Van Demark in the offseason. There’s also potential for him to find his way to transitioning to guard at the pro level.
The addition of Bowry solidifies Buffalo’s depth at the edges of the offensive line in the long term.

Next, the Bills added a receiving weapon for quarterback Josh Allen, selecting wide receiver Skyler Bell with pick 125. Bell is a versatile wideout who analysts expect could be used both outside and within the slot.
