The Buffalo Bills sent three draft picks to the Cleveland Browns during the 2014 NFL Draft in order to move up to draft Sammy Watkins. The Bills were slated to pick ninth, but they sent that selection, their 2015 first-round choice (which turned out to be number 19), and their 2015 fourth-round choice (115 overall) to Cleveland for the fourth pick in the 2014 draft. General manager Doug Whaley and team President Russ Brandon were each described as showing different displays of exuberance, according to a piece written by Tim Graham of The Buffalo News at the time, but no mention came of head coach Doug Marrone’s feelings at the time.
