Buffalo Bills post harsh but hilarious April Fools joke ahead of 2024 NFL Draft

Everyone has to be careful with what they read on social media on April 1. Anyone will do anything for a fun joke, and the Buffalo Bills are the latest to jump on the trend.
The team posted an announcement on X, formerly known as Twitter, claiming that they are providing fans with a very unique and extreme opportunity.
"A move that's never been done before…
We're allowing a member of Bills Mafia to pick one of our 2024 Draft selections.
Repost for your chance to win.
Rules: http://bufbills.co/43GhDKU," the Bills wrote.
However, when fans click on the link, the top clearly states that people have been tricked.
"APRIL FOOLS’. YOU HAVE BEEN FOOLED," it says. And if fans scroll to the bottom, it also says, "THIS IS NOT A VALID SWEEPSTAKES AND IS SOLELY FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY."
So sorry fans, but there is no chance that the Bills organization is going to let you draft someone for them.
Buffalo currently has 11 picks in the 2024 NFL Draft, but things can always change. If the draft began today, here is their full list of selections.
- Round 1:No. 28 overall
- Round 2:No. 60
- Round 4:Nos. 128, 133
- Round 5: Nos. 144 (from Bears), 160 (from Packers), 163
- Round 6: Nos. 189 (from Broncos through Rams), 200 (from Cowboys through Texans), 204
- Round 7:No. 248
Glad to see the team is having some fun today and getting fans involved.
Here are some of the best reactions to the post:
@litttlesnappy: "this is a horrible april fool’s joke because this is something they should actually do lol
@One_day52: I won and I decided to trade Josh Allen to the Seattle Seahawks
@BillsHelmetBar: "I thought you meant 'announce the pick,' which would be pretty cool itself.
I guess with eleven picks, one of us psychos choosing the player won’t set the team back tooooo much"
@HappySpuncks: "Why do the bills always have the best april fools pranks"
