‘“That was all just smoke, to be clear,” Beane said. “But you know me, if there were certain players that fell, we would have gone up. I did not want to give up our 2 (second-round pick) though. It would have had to have been something that made way too much sense for me.”’
2024 NFL Draft: Here’s why the Bills helped the Chiefs land the fastest player in combine history
‘”I could see them taking a receiver but you don’t truly know,” Beane said, according to NewYorkUpstate.com. “But where they were moving from, I don’t think it mattered to us who they were picking. Now we’ve got the two 2s, a 3, a 4 and four 5s. I think that gives us a chance to fill some roles or use ammo to move around again, depending on how the board falls.”‘

‘”We could have traded with someone else and they take somebody. We had other opportunities, and I would say that was the best deal for us, take the team out of it. That was the best deal that we thought that fit what we wanted to do,” said Beane after Thursday’s first round. “The way you have to look at it, we talked to teams in our division about the trade.

So the fun starts tomorrow; 5 prospects that the Buffalo Bills could target on day two of NFL Draft
‘The first guy we’ll talk about is Adonai Mitchell who could have very easily been the Bills pick had they kept the 28th overall pick in round one. Mitchell is both a speedy and vertical threat that could compliment Josh Allen and the rest of the Bills offense. One criticism per CBS Sports’ Chris Trapasso is that he struggles with yards after the catch. The hope is that very important YAC (yards after catch) stat turns around in an NFL organization, so why not get your “X” receiver at a bargain in the second round.’
