One of the bigger questions leading up to the 2024 NFL Draft is "What will the Buffalo Bills do?"

Will they trade up? Will they trade their first-round pick all together in exchange for a proven superstar at receiver? Or will they simply stay put and take the best available receiver?

According to Jordan Reid of ESPN, Buffalo may actually trade down in the draft.

"Even before the Diggs trade, there has been some expectations that the Bills will be aggressive in trying to move up for a receiver," Reid wrote. "But I'm actually hearing the opposite. The Bills might ultimately be content with letting the draft play out and addressing the position at No. 28– or even possibly trading back. If things go that way, Keon Coleman (Florida State) and Xavier Legette (South Carolina) are worth watching."

Buffalo trading back in the draft rather than up for a receiver would shock a lot of people. However, if they are higher on certain receivers than others, and feel like they could move back and acquire more draft capital while also getting their guy, it's a move that has some merit behind it.
