So like every year, I'm seeing a lot of people wanting the Bills to trade down. But I'm not seeing a lot of people say who they think the Bills could be trading with, who that team wants, and for what picks. So, let's discuss the scenarios that we think are possible.
Here's a link to the draft trade chart:

I'll start, here's a good format to use:
Trade Partner: St. Louis Rams
Player Being Targeted at #9: Mike Evans
Trade: BUF 1st Round (#9 Overall, 1350 points) for STL 1st Round (#13 Overall, 1150 Points) and STL 3rd Round (#75 Overall, 215 Points)
Justification:
BUF: If the Bills aren't sold on Mike Evans, and both tackles are off the board, they may well trade back. By trading with St. Louis, they give themselves an opportunity to land either TE Eric Ebron or T Taylor Lewan (depending on who NYG takes, they also need both of these players). S Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix would be another possibility here to replace Byrd. They would still be able to get a talented player to fill a need and pick up an extra 3rd round pick in the process.
STL: With a strong probability of getting Clowney at #2, STL is desperate for WR help. Some teams are perceiving a big dropoff in talent after Evans, and with two first rounds picks, STL has some fire power to move around in the draft. If STL is targeting Evans, they will likely feel pressure to jump ahead of Detroit to nab him.
