BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The hope for the Buffalo Bills going into the 2024 NFL draft was to get a wide receiver in the first two rounds.
The need was obvious. Sitting at No. 28, Buffalo was willing to move up on a smaller level if certain highly rated players fell. Being aggressive in the first round became a trend for the Bills, with trades up in each of the last two drafts.
General manager Brandon Beane, however, did not want to give up the team's second-round pick (No. 60) this year, due to the gap in picks the team had and the areas to be addressed throughout the roster.
