Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane passed up on filling a need at receiver in the NFL draft by making two trades to move out of the first round entirely. The Bills are now on the clock in holding the first pick of the second round that opens on Friday night.
FILE - Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane speaks during a news conference at the NFL football scouting combine in Indianapolis, Feb. 27, 2024. With Stefon Diggs dealt to the Houston Texans, the Bills are expected to be targeting a receiver high in the draft. Just do not ask Beane, who would prefer to keep everyone guessing. The Bills are now on the clock in holding the first pick — 33rd overall — of the second round that opens on Friday night.
Buffalo was initially scheduled to open the draft with the 28th selection before moving back four spots in a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs. When it came time for the Bills to pick at No. 32, they moved back one spot by completing a trade with the Carolina Panthers.and losing Gabe Davis in free agency. Four receivers were already off the board when Buffalo made the trade with the Chiefs, who went on to select Texas receiver Xavier Worthy.
Though Buffalo still has 10 picks in the draft, Beane improved several of his team’s positions in the draft order. Buffalo added a third-round pick in the trade with Kansas City, after dealing its third-rounder to Green Bay last year in a mid-season deal to acquire cornerback Rasul Douglas. The Bills now have four fifth-round selections.
