Buffalo Bills: Jim Kelly trade remains the best in franchise history

The Buffalo Bills had two first-round draft picks this year, using one on a quarterback who will hopefully turn into the next superstar in Buffalo.

The team also had two draft picks back in 1983 thanks to a trade that sent Tom Cousineau to Cleveland. The Bills used that second first-round pick on a young player named Jim Kelly.

An older evergreen post on NFL Spin Zone lists the trade to acquire Kelly as the best one in franchise history, and that remains the case in 2018. In fact, it is not even close.
