ESPN NFL insider Field Yates has identified the Buffalo Bills as a potential team to trade up in the 2025 NFL draft. Bills' general manager Brandon Beane has a history of being active in draft trades, having made bold moves in previous drafts. With 10 selections in hand, including the No. 30 overall pick and two second-round picks, the Bills have the assets to facilitate a trade up.
Yates highlights the Bills' need for cornerback assistance, with the team ranking poorly in completion percentage allowed last season. Given potential limitations in the cornerback options in the first round due to injuries, Buffalo may seek to target top players at the position by moving up in the draft. Yates suggests prospects like Will Johnson, Jahdae Barron, Maxwell Hairston, and Trey Amos could be viable targets for the Bills in a trade-up scenario. Beane, known for trading up in the first round, may look to bolster the team's cornerback position through strategic draft moves.
