2018 NFL Draft: Five teams that should trade with Buffalo Bills
With Tyrod Taylor out, the Buffalo Bills need a new quarterback. Which teams should trade back with the Bills at the 2018 NFL Draft?
The Buffalo Bills are officially making their move for a franchise quarterback. After trading Tyrod Taylor to the Cleveland Browns for the first pick in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft, the Bills followed that blockbuster decision by moving up in Round 1.
According to Josina Anderson of ESPN, the Bills have traded offensive tackle Cordy Gllen to the Cincinnati Bengals.
I'm told the #Bengals are trading for #Bills OT Cordy Glenn.

In the process, the Bills and Bengals have agreed to swap first-round draft picks.

Bills and Bengals swap 1st Round picks. Bills go to 12. Bengals go to 21.
Teams also swap 5th and 6th round picks. @nflnetwork @NFL @gmfb
That trade could alter the landscape of the NFL as is, but it may be the prelude to something even bigger.
Buffalo now has the No. 12 and No. 22 overall selections in the 2018 NFL Draft, as well as a pair of second-round draft picks. It could potentially create a package deal to trade up into the Top 10, with a goal of entering the top five.
The ultimate goal for the Bills is to land a franchise player, which will likely require the latter being achieved this offseason.
The likes of Josh Allen, Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, and Josh Rosen are all projected top-10 draft picks. The tandem of Lamar Jackson and Mason Rudolph are also receiving first-round hype, but it seems more likely that Buffalo will select one of the previous four listed players.
The question is: Which teams should consider trading back and accepting an offer from the Buffalo Bills in the 2018 NFL Draft?
