The Buffalo Bills stunned the NFL World when they agreed to a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs on the opening night of the NFL Draft.
Buffalo was sitting on the 28th overall pick after losing to the Chiefs in the AFC Wildcard round.
Brett Veach had made it clear before the NFL Draft that the Chiefs had not ruled out a trade-up if the support was there.
The opening round was tailored to the offensive rookies, with six quarterbacks being taken in the first 12 picks.
Moreover, the first defensive player was not chosen until the Indianapolis Colts were on the clock with the 15th pick on Thursday night.

Bills GM Brandon Beane defends their decision to trade back

“Any time you trade with someone, if people think you should take a player there, offense, defense in this case, you’re always going to be criticized”, Beane responded when questioned about the decision to trade back.
The Bills GM proceeded to explain: “It’s not like we traded the player to Kansas City. You don’t truly know who someone is going to select when you trade with them.
“I’m sure they [Chiefs] didn’t just call the Buffalo Bills to trade up, they called other teams to.”

Bills had to make a call that was for the benefit of them and forget about the impact this could have on the Chiefs.
