0:00It's April 24th. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI, your gridiron update. I'm Cory with the story. Buffalo Bill's general manager Brandon Beans skipped the first round of the NFL draft by trading away their pick, but he smartly grabbed two extra. Selections in the deal. That move landed them the 35th overall choice, which they used on Clemson Edge Russia TJ Parker. Now the bills sit with nine total picks heading into day two, giving them plenty of ammo to build. Parker's a beast with 21.5 sacks and 41.5 tackles for loss over three college seasons, perfect for shaking up there, front. Defensive coordinator Jim Lee and Hart's flipping the scheme from a 4-3 base to a 3-4, so expect most of those picks to beef up the defense. Big time. They still need bodies that inside linebacker, nose tackle, and outside cornerback to make this shift click, and with eight picks left, Beans got the tools to deliver.
