The trade partner that the New York Giants might just be seeking could be a team looking to move up in the draft above their crosstown rivals.
The Buffalo Bills might just be the team that lets the Giants move back in the draft, a source tells Metro. Speaking on the condition of anonymity, the source said that the Bills “are eager to move up in the draft and get into the top three picks,” a line that is similar to the speculation that has come out of Buffalo in recent weeks. The only likely scenario there would be a trade with the Giants who hold the second overall pick in the first round of Thursday’s NFL Draft.
The Bills need a quarterback and one of USC’s Sam Darnold, Wyoming’s Josh Allen, Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield and UCLA’s Josh Rosen would be there for the Bills at No. 2. If they crave one of those quarterbacks, they could well overpay to move up.
A possible trade with the Giants would then see Buffalo move past their AFC East counterpart the New York Jets, who last month traded with the Indianapolis Colts, sending the sixth overall pick along with three second-round picks (two selections from this draft and one in 2019) to trade up to the No. 3 pick.
