The Buffalo Bills are looking at ways they can improve through the draft and part of that may involve trading down to amass more picks and dig deeper into this incoming class. One thing that won’t be an option is seems is drafting a quarterback at No. 9 overall, despite that being an idea that pundits have for the Bills and their plans.

E.J. Manuel was drafted higher than expected in 2013 and while he struggled in his rookie season, the Bills are not yet done with Manuel and have the opposite feelings about him that others do.

Per InsideTheBills:

"I think the Bills have been clear that they are all in on EJ Manuel as their franchise quarterback. As tempting as it may be to draft Johnny Manziel if he is there at nine, you have to look at this the way the Bills or any other NFL franchise would."

We could see just about anything happen, but drafting a quarterback would be a shock for the Bills. Buffalo would love for Johnny Manziel to fall to them at No. 9 overall, but not so they can pick him but rather so they can trade with a team that wants to.
