The Bills had the number 10 pick in the 2017 draft, but they chose to trade it to the Chiefs in exchange for the no. 27 pick, a third-round pick and a first-round pick in 2018.
Patrick Mahomes became the 10th pick and a pick that became a player who won MVP and Super Bowl MVP would normally be seen as a bad moment for an NFL team. However, the role of the Bill in the agreement did not lead to much contempt, and what they did with the choice had something to do with it.
They scored cornerback Tre’Davious White with the 27th overall pick in 2017 and linebacker Tremaine Edmunds with the first-ranked team in 2018, while also attacking left-back Dion Dawkins after other brands selected the third round . Quarterback Josh Allen was not acquired with a pick from the deal, but head coach Sean McDermott still called him while saying things were working out for both sides.
“They got a good player in Patrick, and I think we also got on with Josh, Tremaine and Tre’Davious – no matter how good it is, in terms of choices that have become choices,” McDermott said via Marcel Louis-Jacques. from ESPN.com. “I think both teams did terribly well.”
Because they know how things are going to work out for Mahomes in the NFL, the bills could do something different with the benefit of a time machine, but a win this Sunday would make it a harder decision.
