They didn’t want to lose their guy

The Kansas City Chiefs’ trade up to the 21st overall selection was the catalyst for the Buffalo Bills’ trade up, and while general manager Brandon Beane didn’t admit that the Bills had a first-round grade on Trent McDuffie, it seems pretty clear.

As soon as McDuffie was off the board, the Bills attempted to trade up with the Green Bay Packers at 22, per Mike Silver at Bally Sports, who was embedded with Beane over Draft Weekend.
