“Buffalo Bills NFL Draft Strategy: Will They Trade Up for Top Talent?”
The Buffalo Bills are poised with the 28th overall pick in Thursday night’s NFL Draft, but speculation swirls around whether they’ll make a move to trade up. General manager Brandon Beane, known for his strategic trades in previous drafts, expressed openness to making a move if the opportunity presents itself.

Beane, addressing the media before the draft, acknowledged his past trading history and emphasized his willingness to secure a player he values. While he refrained from divulging specific plans, he hinted at the possibility of maneuvering up the draft board if the right opportunity arises.
While Beane remained tight-lipped, insights from the Buffalo Bills Kickoff Live crew shed light on potential scenarios. Heather Prusak from News 4 estimated a 75% chance of the Bills trading up, possibly targeting the 15th or 16th pick to acquire LSU receiver Brian Thomas Jr. Sal Capaccio from WGR echoed similar sentiments, predicting a likelihood of over 50% for a trade-up, citing Beane’s past tendencies.
Thad Brown, Sports Director at WROC, was even more emphatic, putting the odds at 99.74% for a trade-up, albeit not as high as others on the panel. Brown suggested the Bills could target the 23rd overall pick, speculating on potential moves by other teams.
Matt Parrino from Syracuse.com envisioned a move into the 15-20 range for Brian Thomas Jr., also considering the possibility of trading back as part of the Bills’ draft strategy.
For fans eagerly anticipating a game-changing move to bolster their roster, attention should be on prospects like Rome Odunze. If Odunze’s draft stock suggests he may slip within reach, the allure of a trade-up could become irresistible for the Bills’ front office.
