Brandon Beane, the dynamic general manager of the Buffalo Bills, has consistently demonstrated his knack for strategic maneuvers during the NFL Draft.
Over his tenure spanning six drafts, Beane has orchestrated an impressive total of 12 draft-day trades, showcasing his proactive approach to team building. Notably, four of these trades involved bold moves to ascend in the first round, highlighting Beane’s willingness to make bold moves for top talent.
Amongst Beane’s first-round selections, only Ed Oliver and Greg Rousseau were chosen with the Bills’ original first-round pick over the span of six years. This trend underscores Beane’s shrewdness in maximizing draft capital and finding value amidst the flux of draft day dynamics.
