What First-Round Pick Do the Bills Have in 2026?

The Bills are drafting 26th overall in the 2026 NFL draft. Buffalo has several key positional needs, including linebacker and defensive line.

Due to their trade for DJ Moore, the Bills don’t have a second-round pick. Their second pick in the draft is the 91st selection. 

Why Didn’t the Bills Have a First-Round Pick in 2020?

The Bills didn’t have a first-round pick in 2020 due to a blockbuster trade with the Minnesota Vikings to acquire Stefon Diggs. 

The trade had a significant impact on the Bills’ odds at the BetMGM online sportsbook, but it cost Buffalo its first-, fifth-, and sixth-round picks in 2020 and the fourth-round pick in the following season. 

Did the Bills Trade Their 2024 First-Round Pick?

Yes, the Bills initially traded their first-, fourth-, and seventh-round picks to the Kansas City Chiefs. Kansas City sent its first-round selection along with its third- and seventh-round picks in the deal.

Buffalo then traded Kansas City’s first-round pick, along with its own sixth-round pick, to the Carolina Panthers for Carolina’s second-round pick and fifth-round pick.
