Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane loves trading up in the NFL Draft. This time he traded down. Twice.

Buffalo traded back from No. 28 in the first round with the rival Kansas City Chiefs. The Bills moved down to No. 32, the last pick in the first round. Here was the trade:

Bills receive:

  • 1st round pick: (No. 32 overall)

  • 3rd round pick (No. 95 overall)

  • 7th round pick (No. 221 overall)

Chiefs receive:

  • 1st round pick (No. 28 overall)

  • 4th round pick (No. 133 overall)

  • 7th round pick (No. 248 overall)

Beane wasn't done. He backed out of the first round in a trade with the Carolina Panthers.

Bills receive:

  • 2nd round pick (No. 33 overall)

  • 5th round pick (No. 141 overall)

Panthers get:

  • 1st round pick (No. 32 overall)

  • 6th round pick (No. 200 overall)

Beane has made more than three dozen trades involving trade picks and 15 trades during draft in his seven-year tenure in Buffalo. He's moved up in the first round to select Josh Allen (2018), Tremaine Edmunds (2018), Kaiir Elam (2022) and Dalton Kincaid (2023).

Buffalo has 33 players left over from the 53-man roster, and that includes those on the injured reserve list during the season.
