Bills NFL Draft Round 1 Reacts Survey: Are you okay with Buffalo’s result?

After a night to sleep on it, are you okay with how the Bills tackled Round 1 of the 2024 NFL Draft?

The Buffalo Bills did the one thing most weren’t predicting to happen during Round 1 of the 2024 NFL Draft. Yes, they traded back. Twice — and out of the first round. For their efforts, they improved their draft stock by gaining a pick in Round 3. The Bills are set to get things started tonight with pick 33, but it’s anyone’s guess whether they stay put or once again find reason and the ability to trade back even further.

To this point, it would that general manager Brandon Beane’s belief is that there wasn’t a first-round prospect on their draft board. As such, he acted according to their plan. While many Bills fans were irate with the results that had much to do with who drafted in their place at 28 and the position, they did receive good value. The only opportunity they lost was drafting wide receivers Xavier Worthy and Xavier Legette.

The results of their two trades:
