Xavier Worthy actually would fit what the scheme needed. So would AD Mitchell.
But instead Buffalo trades down and then takes a potential possession 1 WR who needs time?
WTF are they doing over there.

Remember that there were 6 QBs taken in the first 12 picks and that pushed many players down from where they might otherwise have been taken. That made for a fat bunch of talent available early, almost as if the teams had moved up in the draft.
Just because Buffalo didn't trade up, that doesn't mean they weren't trying. I'm sure they identified Thomas as the guy they wanted, but a lot of other teams did the same thing. Thomas went at #23 to the Jaguars and I'll bet they were very happy. I'll also bet that they were demanding a high price to make any trade, so it might just have been too much for the Bills to pay.
