The Buffalo Bills have officially traded up to the No. 62 overall selection in a deal with the Denver Broncos, according to @AdamSchefter. To move up four spots in the second round, the Bills sent picks No. 66 and No. 182 to Denver.
The trade allows the Bills to secure a target late in the second round by leapfrogging other teams potentially interested in the same prospect. In return, the Broncos add draft capital, acquiring a sixth-round selection (No. 182) while only dropping four spots back to No. 66 overall. This maneuver highlights the aggressive approach taken by Buffalo's front office to navigate the draft board and secure specific talent as the second round nears its conclusion.
The specific player targeted by the Bills with the 62nd pick will be announced momentarily as the draft continues. This exchange of assets represents the latest mid-round shuffle as teams look to maximize their value and positioning during the draft's second day.
