ESPN’s Ben Solak Urges Bills to Trade Down From No. 26
The analyst says flipping the pick for mid-round capital would help Buffalo cover roster depth gaps created by a long wait to its next selection.
Overview
- Ben Solak of ESPN recommends that Buffalo trade down from the 26th pick to gain two or three selections.
- He points to a 65-pick gap to No. 91 after the DJ Moore trade cost the Bills a second-rounder.
- Solak lists needs at tackle and guard, a receiver to push Joshua Palmer behind DJ Moore and Khalil Shakir, and help at linebacker and cornerback.
- If the Bills stay at 26, multiple outlets relay his view that defense makes sense, possibly an edge rusher for new coordinator Jim Leonhard.
- These are analyst opinions rather than a team plan, with context that Buffalo went 12-5, lost in the Divisional Round, and replaced Sean McDermott with Joe Brady.
