‘If the Bills want to make the big move up, they may need to get creative, which is what A.J. Smith did in 2004 as general manager of the Chargers. He owned the No. 1 overall pick and wanted to select Eli Manning, but Manning, and his father, Archie, made it very publicly known that Eli did not and would not want to play for San Diego. They advised Smith — the ex-Bills’ personnel chief who had become GM in San Diego after the death from cancer of ex-Bills GM John Butler — not to waste the pick.’
