NFL Draft Rumors: Buffalo Bills trying to trade for 1st or 2nd pick

The Buffalo Bills have made no secret about wanting to trade up. However, most believe the Bulls simply want to get in position to draft former Clemson Tigers’ wide receiver Sammy Watkins, but that may not be the case.

According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, the Bills are trying to trade up with the Houston Texans or St. Louis Rams for the first or second pick.

"The Bills, we’re told, have been burning up the phone lines in an effort to work out a deal that would vault them from No. 9 to No. 1 or No. 2. The targets are believed to be defensive end Jadeveon Clowney and tackle Greg Robinson.It’s unclear what it would take to get a deal done. With both the Texans and Rams hoping to slide down, the Bills could spark a bidding war for a bargain. Regardless of the cost, it appears that G.M. Doug Whaley, who could have a new boss by the end of the year, hopes to make the team dramatically better, quickly."

Obviously, either player would really help the Bills. Pairing Clowney with Mario Williams could give the Bills a set of elite pass rushers while Robinson could give the Bills the offensive tackle they’ve needed for quite some time.
