This year’s first round only has 31 picks after the Miami Dolphins were forced to forfeit their pick after the NFL punished the Dolphins after it was found they “violated league policies “pertaining to the integrity of the game.” due to conversations with Tom Brady and Sean Payton over the years.
Could the Buffalo Bills look to move in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft?
The Buffalo Bills currently are scheduled to pick later in the first round as they have the 27th overall pick. However, general manager Brandon Beane has shown he is not just willing to sit until their pick as he has made a number of trades in the first round over the years.
There have already been reports that the Bills are looking to trade up for either an offensive playmaker or an interior offensive lineman. However, it is also possible the Bills could be looking to trade back with only six picks currently in the 2023 NFL Draft.
The 2023 NFL Draft begins on Thursday, April 27th at 8:00 PM.
