What once appeared to be a busy day in the 2018 NFL Draft for the Buffalo Bills now seems as if it will instead be a long wait.
Due to a pair of trades that landed the Bills their quarterback of the future, Wyoming junior Josh Allen, and their middle linebacker of the future, Virginia Tech junior Tremaine Edmunds, the Bills are only slated to pick once on Day two. They hold pick number 96, which they acquired from the Philadelphia Eagles last season in a trade for Ronald Darby.
Of course, general manager Brandon Beane could try to find a way to wheel and deal his way into a higher draft pick, but such a move seems unlikely. The Bills previously possessed picks number 21 and 24 in round 2 (53 and 56 overall), as well as pick number 1 in round 3 (65 overall), but those picks were dealt to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Baltimore Ravens, respectively, last night. Buffalo's original third rounder, pick 85, was traded for Kelvin Benjamin.
