2016 NFL Draft: Was Bills Second Round Trade Worth It?

The Buffalo Bills traded with the Chicago Bears to move up from #49 to #41 overall in the 2016 NFL Draft. They made the trade in order to get inside linebacker Reggie Ragland from Alabama who many draft experts had projected to go in the first round.

Part of the reason why Ragland fell was because teams were afraid about a report that came out that he has an enlarged aorta. According to NFL.com, Ian Rapoport reported that “teams don’t see the condition as something that will affect his football career, however, and consider it something that will merely bear close watching.
